Reclaim lampshades

Refurbishing lampshades: You will need a lampshade, fabric and bookbinding glue, e.g. from Hobby Time, big box about 10,00 Euro.

1. First make a fabric template from the screen. Add a narrow margin at the top, as it will later be glued inwards.

2. Coat the screen with bookbinding glue and allow to dry briefly.


3. Drape the cut fabric onto the screen, smoothing it well. Then glue the upper as well as the lower edge inwards. Press firmly!

4. Here (photo) I have taken a linen fabric and provided with motif (stencil technique).

5. In addition, sew the matching pillow and if there is still fabric, a few overhead curtains ... and you have a completely new and above all INDIVIDUAL living room.
