I followed this tutorial for my first attempt at lampshade making. Really useful. The kit only provides just enough double sided tape so I ran out by folding over edge so have some extra handy before you start.
Very clear tutorial and exactly what I was looking for. My partner mailed a lampshade that was marked "Storage Only" and the postal service used it for a soccer ball. The liner is cracked in several places and needs to be replaced. I thought I'd take the opportunity to make the shade an inch wider and to change the fabric to a rough silk. I feel confident that I can follow this video and make the new shade myself.
what an amazing how to video ! .. and your voice is incredibly soothing...it takes away anxiety as one follows along doing the steps... it makes someone feel like it is no biggie... just do this...and there ! you have a lampshade to be proud of !! Thank you for sharing your talent.... it was perfect !
I appreciate the way you teach - fully & detailed, Easily understand-able, very very professional. Three thumbs-up for your kind & professional teaching 👍👍👍Excellent work🙂Thanks for sharing.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎💓Best wishes for you.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have 2 lamps that I love whose shades need to be replaced. I have spent so much time sourcing out new shades & to have them made would have cost me $100 per shade. Now I know I can make my own shades and do it affordably. Thank you again!!!!!
Best tutorial I have seen so far. Your little tips are also very good. I hand painted a lampshade years ago. Bought a load of kits to make more and forgot how to do it! Thank you for sharing.
I would like to record my great admiration for these wonderful works of art. I am from Egypt, and my work is in papyrus, which is made of papyrus, the oldest paper in history. I love handicrafts, and I will try to make one out of papyrus.all my apprecition and respect for your wonderful art works
Thank you for a great tutorial. I have made three drum shades of 20cm, 45cm and 20cm. Carefully following your instructions. They have all been very successful and I am hooked on making them. Finding fabric wide enough for the 45cm was tricky. I wonder where you got your metal, metre sized rule from?
Hi, Mam, it's really wonderful and pretty attractive the beautiful way you have represented and explained, I really want to try out but I don't think I'm going to get the equipment such as the rolled metals at the top and the bottom of the lamp. thank you for your effort and time. I appreciate your humbleness
Great tutorial! Somehow I missed to see the part when you score the plastic before you fold it back. What are you do it with and how? Thank you for your answer!
This is a great tutorial, really clear and the tip about cutting extra fabric to cover raw edge and overlapping rolled edge is invaluable. Thank you! Do you have any tips for making large drums that need a fabric join?
Thank you. Good and informative video. Had a little trouble finding the white material in DK .... it's called Astralit .. (and not quite cheap around 25euro per m / 0,6m).
Hello, this is the most informative video I have ever seen and I have seen my share. I am wanting to start making lamps but I was not thinking about making the shades till now. So this was really a big help. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge with us.
wonderful art. can i know what is the name of the tip and what is the easiest way to do rings and material . my career is in papyrus paper and i think about doing lampshades with the oldest paper in history papyrus paper
Just a quick tip if you want to sell or make for an international market... This kit is great if you live in the UK. I come from the UK and recognise (yes, that's the English spelling...) the fitting, but now live in the US and if you do too, you will find that the kit she used will not fit a US lamp - they use harps which means the shade secures from the top.
We haven't seen copper adhesive paper, what we have seen on the market are copper and metallic coloured liners (rather than the white in the video). These are UV stabilised - Anti Yellowing and Engineered for lampshade making, passed the glow wire test carried out by the Lighting Association etc. So we would use those rather than copper paper. Take a look here www.dannells.com/stick-it----brushed-metal-362-c.asp
Great tips, thank you. Perhaps a thin painted line of Modge Podge on the top & bottom inside fabric edges before attaching to the styrene, once dried, may help to prevent frayed edges. I am recovering an existing shade with the same fabric as my drapes, so am working without a kit. I assume (as my styrene is not pre-scored) I will cut my fabric slightly bigger allowing for a folding edge. Is the sticky taped used specialized or would double sided tape work just as well? I have not been able to find your type of tape in NZ. Many thanks
Tesa tape is the brand used here and it is extremely strong and often used in automotive applications because it can withstand high heat. Google a supplier in your area and look for 10-12mm width. Other tapes I tried have not held strong enough and the seams tend to open. On the issue of fraying around the spoke where you make the cut, I just make a shorter cut at the spoke and it seems to work fine. I work without a kit and create my own score (kiss cut) on the styrene. Add approx. 28mm to the measurement of the height of your lampshade (14 mm each for top and bottom) to come up with the size of your styrene. For example, if your lampshade is 30 cm high, add 28 mm for a total of 32.8 cm. With your styrene side face up, mark a ruler line 14mm in along the top and bottom length of the styrene. Using a sharp blade, apply enough pressure to score the styrene but not the peel off backing (cutting on the styrene side up). This will create a nice "kiss cut" that you can peel off just as shown in Cindy's kit demo.
@@linkreisz3262 I can't find a supplier anywhere. Do you know which tape it is from Tesa? There are a bunch of Tesa branded tapes on ebay. If I knew the model number, I can buy it from there! THANKS!

Help !!! I have bent back the kiss strips on the styrene, but when I peel them off the adhesive comes off too, why is this happening!? What can I do ? I have tried it from every corner and its the same problem each time.

Excellent! Thank you so much. It is rare to see such a clear enjoyable tutorial, with not a word too much nor a word too little!
I followed this tutorial for my first attempt at lampshade making. Really useful. The kit only provides just enough double sided tape so I ran out by folding over edge so have some extra handy before you start.
I have just made this light shade and it worked beautifully, the instructions are clear and very helpful. I'm very happy with the result.
Really well made video - very clear guidance, no wasted words, and it's really helpful that you show examples of what can go wrong. Many thanks.
Completely agree...no theatrics...just a great instructional video. Thank you !
Thanks! I followed the steps in this video to make replacement shades for a pair of floor lamps. Very clear instructions!
This is the best video; glad I found it. Thank you very, very much for posting it.
Excellent, with accurate measurements, very clear demonstration. Thank you 🙏.

I love that British accent so much!
Everything is perfectly explained!
Very informative, clear instructions, i learnt a lot, thank you.
Excellent explanation, very clear
good video, i just have one question you didnt explain why and what to do with the two little extra flaps of material on the end of the fabric ?
That was great thank you!

- Beautiful job but why not use Fray Check prior to removing the edge tape ???
Excellent. Thank you very much.
Perfect way to teach
great video, what kind of paper is that?
what is the name of this tape that you are using here to stics on
What a perfect video! Finally, I can tackle making one and using my art work in this new way. However, where do you order these kits from?

Well done. Does the double sided tape come with the shade kit?
What cloth material is that??
And where do I buy the lamp shade rings from
Muy bien explicado 👏👏👏👏
great video, please can we have a video on a candle lampshaes please.
Should use pinking shears so your edges dont gray.
Great video, very helpful. Where do you purchase the liner material and does it have any heat resistance?
It was part of a kit. try www.dannells.com/ they supply kits and I think they may also supply components
Very nice
So cute 🥰
Hola me guusta su arte . Bediciones 🙏🙏🙏

Boa tarde vocês vendem os produtos
could you show how to make oval lamp shade, but the top and bottom isn't the same size? thanks
Are the strips you bent back pre creased on the card or did you create these...great tutorial!! Thank you
good question - to score the styrene can be hard. it wont necessarily peel off along the marked line...then you are stuffed

Dónde compro estos Kits? Soy de chile
Bom dia gostaria de saber quanto é um kit redondo 20 cm
I didn't see an explanation of how the 2cm x 3mm extra bits on the end mattered as you finally put it together?
I think it’s so it will go right over the middle joining seam when finishing.
