I love this tutorial, thank you. One thing I want to add, as I learned the hard way, those clip on lamp shades that go directly on the bulb should only be used with LED light bulbs, not incandescent bulbs. They get too hot and burn a hole right through the fabric!
Great tip, thanks for stopping by & for sharing Miss Cathleen!
Oh no! I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing.
Rachel, these are gorgeous!! I made my first one yesterday, but wrapped strips top to bottom, front and back. It is beautiful, but the doubled pale green print doesn’t cast much light when the lamp is on. Now I know I can carefully remove the outer fabric, which will let more light in. Eager to try another one your way😍
Good morning, Miss Linda!
I'm thrilled to know you tried one of these lampshades! Isn't it addicting?! I've got several more on my list to make. It's the perfect rainy afternoon task with tea and great interior design podcast...
By the way, I've since made another, updated tutorial on the pleated lampshade that has a more professional result. Here's the link if you're interested: czcams.com/video/4x9pIPcbzVk/video.html
Happy lampshade making!
@@StoneCottageHome hi, Rachel. Yes, I have seen your more updated tutorial. It’s beautiful, and no sew, which I’m interested in right now. My next project is a DIY chinoiserie lamp I saw on Pinterest with a pleated lampshade (similar to yours from this video). I just got a small ginger jar shaped lamp off marketplace last night for $10. I’ve already bought the printed paper napkins from Etsy. I’m starting with a small one, in case I mess it up. I’m getting addicted to lamps and shades to the point I won’t have storage for them all😂, but it’s so fun because all of them thus far have cost me so little. Blessings to you and Matt🥰
@@cubbylevi1764 This sounds like such a fun project! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this tutorial! I have a lamp habit and I'm always picking up bases at thrift shops, yard sales etc. Almost always the shades are all wrong and need replacing. I'm very excited to not only give them a much needed new shade but to make that shade something custom and fun as well!
Haha! "A lamp habit"!
Well, that makes two of us! I'm glad you found the tutorial useful. Happy lamp shade making!
Wow I never would have thought to use such bright colors for the shades on those lamps.. perfection.
Thank you! I'm glad you found some inspiration!
Hello! I really enjoyed this video -- in addition to learning many useful tips, I also found your presentation style calming and welcoming. Thank you for bringing us along! However, I will admit I was quite disappointed not to see a tutorial for the method of pleating shown on the final lampshade. This one was the reason I clicked on your video because I spotted it on the thumbnail image and was intrigued to learn how it was done! Perhaps you have posted a video elsewhere on your channel showing how to achieve this look? Please let me know -- thank you! I also really like how the velvet trim looks. I was already considering that, and now I'm even more sure that it's what I want for my own lampshade. Thanks again for sharing, and please let me know how I can pleat my fabric in that loose way like you have on your final lamp. I appreciate it! Take care.
Good morning, Miss Emily!
I'm glad you enjoyed the pleated lampshade tutorial. When I created this video, my focus was on the popular straight pleat. The pleating style featured on the thumbnail I just made up...
The technique is simple: pull two pleats together at the top, secure those with glue, then pull two pleats together at the bottom and secure those. I hope that helps!
The velvet trim, or any strongly contrasting trim, will look great.
I've been thinking of making another fabric lampshade tutorial using the shirred method, which gives a softer light. Perhaps the loose style method could be added to that video as well. Thanks for reaching out and politely making a request!
@@StoneCottageHome Ohh yes please, that would be wonderful! I would very much like to see both techniques in your video, if you are indeed willing. That's lovely that you created that pleating technique yourself! It also explains why I couldn't find any other similar pleats online -- haha! It looks almost like each pleat changes direction midway down the shade and reverses itself... Very intriguing! I absolutely love the relaxed simplicity of the final effect. Thank you for your kind reply, and I'll be looking forward to your future video! ✨️💖
They're all STUNNING 😍 as I'm watching this, I'm beading a Victorian style lamp shade. Love finding antique and vintage materials, beads and laces to redo them xx
Hello there, Miss Liana!
A Victorian beaded lamp sounds rather complicated ~ and beautiful! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. Have a lovely day!
Rachel, you are fast becoming my Favorite utuber to watch! Great job once again. I love that you really take time to teach valuable things, all English Traditional! ❤️🌷
That is very kind, Miss Lisa!
It is the support and encouragement of viewers like you that make these videos possible. Have a lovely weekend!
Your bright and cheerful fabrics makes all the difference in the feel of the room. And who knew the shape and size of each shade was so important to the total look of the lamp much less how many bits of hardware are involved!
Hello, Miss Ilene!
You're so right, I had no idea there were so many parts to make a lamp work! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! Have a lovely day!
So informative..now I will go tackle my shades…thank you…😊
Glad it was helpful!
I would have never thought to put a print fabric for the shade of these lamps, being they all pattern on them....But a nice look over all
Thank you so much for the tutorial!!! I've learned so much and how to remake worn lamp shades! Your absolutely brilliant😊
Hello, Miss Christy!

God bless x
Thank you, Miss Willow and welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family! We're thrilled to have you along!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been trying to find unique shades for 2 matching lamps without spending the outrageous prices. You're an inspiration!
Good morning, Miss Antonette!
You are very welcome! I'm so happy this "visit" was helpful and inspiring for you. Happy lamp shade making!🌹
You living my dream !!!
Beautiful lamps and shades - thanks for the lesson on pleated lampshades 😊❤️!
Hi there, Marika! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial & appreciate you stopping by! And thanks for the head's up on publishing my video ~ I'm new to collaborations ~ the video is up now! Have a lovely day!
Oh I must say, the little blue and white tea pot lamp caught my eye. Cute tooled in a kitchen counter corner.
I'm always on the lookout for unique lamps!
The green lamp with the coral flower print is my favorite in this video. I never knew there was so much info to consider, in regards to the hardware, on the lamps. I'm not a fan of the choices, for the fabric on the shades, on the blue and white lamps. But what a lovely transformation.
Hello Terry,
I'm glad you found this video helpful, thanks for dropping by!
Thank you! Excellent tutorial!
You're welcome, Miss Susan!
This made my day! I’ve been wanting to own some lampshades just like these, so thanks to you, I now can! Your inspiration is reaching my country home in Dorset, U.K. 🥰
How very fun to know our visits are being enjoyed in the UK! I'm so glad you found this to be helpful, I'd love to know how your project turns out. Thanks for sharing, Miss Dawn!
So happy I came across your channel! I've been wanting to make pleated shades but did not know how - now I do thanks to you!
Yay! Happy lampshade pleating! Thanks for stopping by.
I am so thankful for this video. I am making a lamp from many lamp parts I collected over the years it will display pink Murano glass prisms and Waterford crystal off an antique chandelier. I am so impressed with with video about pleated shades. I love love love the apricot and green pleates lampshade. Keep Sharing
Hello, Miss Christine! I'm so happy you enjoyed your visit & found it to helpful! Thank you for visiting. Happy autumn! 🍁

Beautiful work!
Thank you very much, Miss Susan! We're glad you stopped by!
❤❤ gorgeous ❤❤
Thank you!
I love your whimsical style and fabric selection. Great tutorials. That is exactly how I make my bias tape. Thanks for joining me!
Thank you, Jamie! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorials & thanks again for hosting this collab. Have a lovely day!
omg so pretty.
Wow, you did a fabulous job with those shades. Beautiful. Your thrift stores have great lamps. I never find nice lamps in my goodwill.
Hi, Miss Susan!
Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by to visit! You're right there do seem to be many good lamps - but then again, that's what I was looking for!
Have a lovely day!
I am learning so much about shades with your Chanel. I feel bad for trashing 2 originals shades for antique lamps. I bough a new shade but it never looked right. I wish I knew to save and recover the old pleaded silk shades.
Good morning!
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying what you're learning about lampshades! You'll be excited to know my next video is sharing a new technique on the pleated lampshade. Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day!
Thank you for the pleating tutorial, but I learned something else today from your video. I recently bought a pair of lamps from a resale store that already had new lampshades. However, something was a little off and they didn’t look just right. Turns out that the harps are too tall, and now I will be able to remedy the problem by simply replacing the taller harps with shorter harps. Yay!
Oh, Miss Lynn, this is wonderful!
Isn't it great when we pick up little tips that helps us use what we already have?!
How lovely finally a way to find style without having to pay those high prices for a lampshade change. Thanks
Hi there, Mango Graphics!
You're welcome! I'm thrilled you found some answers to getting the style you love without paying designer prices!
I have just found you and have added you as one of my favorites !! I loved this video and have had this in my to do list for a few years now and just have never sat down and got on with it…. !❤️😝 Well done !!
Welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family, Miss Susan! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the tutorial, I had fun making the shades & have a couple more lamp makeovers on my list. You should definitely give this a try! Have a lovely day! 🌹
Wow you made these styles all look so easy! I will definitely be hitting my fabric stash to update some of my old thrift store finds that have been gathering dust in the attic
Good morning, Tamanna!
That's wonderful ~ you can do it!
Amazing lamps and shades. I am definitely going to try this on a couple of lamps I own that need updates. Doing a bit of binge watching on a cold day in Oregon.🌹
Good evening, Miss Shelley!
So glad we can share several cozy visits when the weather is cold! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the lampshade tutorial and found some inspiration. Have a lovely autumn!
I love this video! I recently purchased a 1930's era bouillotte lamp, as I was inspired by one of your videos, but the shade is plain white. I wondered how I could transform it -- and you've *again* given me so much useful information! *THANK YOU!*
Another thing that intrigues me is the idea of a lampshade "slipcover." I've seen these in my wanderings around the web and I love the idea of being able to change a lampshade for the seasons, but at a low cost. Maybe you could show us how to do this in a future video!
Oh, your lamp sounds like a lovely score, Miss Suzanne! I've not heard of a "slipcover" for lamps before... Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
Linda transformacion me gusta mucho
Thank you, Miss Linda!
I appreciate you stopping by!
Hi Rachel, I mentioned on your 10 top finds id come here next. I am so inspired by this video. As I never seem to find.. well afford the beautiful pleated shades that I like. So now. I can make one myself. Loved how yours came out. My favorite is the red one on your blue and white lamp. Thank you !
Hello, again!
How thrilling you were able to find exactly what you were looking for! I only wish I could see your pleated lamp shade! What other cottage style decor info have you been wishing to see? Let me know!
Great finds. Cute little milk glass lamp as well.
Thrifting is the best!
Great tutorial.
Thank you Miss Polly, I'm glad you found it helpful! Have a blessed Christmas!
Love your fabrics. What a lovely shop.
This one of my favorite haunts hands down. The owner has over 9,000 bolts of fabric!
What an amazing selection of lamps and shades . Love the fabric choices for the new shades .
Good morning, Miss Christine! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit, the lamp shades were a fun project. Have a lovely autumn! 🍂🍁
beautiful!! i loved the lamp at the thrift store that was shaped like a teapot
Hello there,
Glad you enjoyed your visit & "shopping" together! Happy autumn!
Great job! Love the lampshades! ❤️
Hello, Miss Sherry! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit, I appreciate you stopping by!

Hello, Missy! I'm glad you found some inspiration during your visit, and plan to make some pleated lampshades of your own! Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!
Nice work and oh so BEAUTIFUL 😊👍
Thanks!
Oh I have an orange lamp like that
Thanks for your lovely video, learned a few tips and loved your lamp shades.
Thank you, I'm glad you found your visit helpful! I appreciate you stopping by, have a lovely autumn.
So sweet . I love your creativity
Thank you, Miss Maria!
Thank you for sharing! I love the "messy" red lamp shade pleading, how do I recreate that?
Hello!
Simply pinch two pleats together at the top in one direction, then pinch two pleats together in the opposite direction at the top. Continue all the way around. Happy lampshade making!
Thank you for sharing! I love your style, and have been wanting to make one of these for awhile now. :)
Absolutely! I appreciate you stopping by. Happy lamp shade making!
You light up my life!! I loved this sooo much, I'm going to try to make one!
Wonderful! Enjoy!
Thanks for this tutorial! I'd love to know how you did the third pleated lampshade, I noticed the fold probably need a specific technique. Could you please share this? Many thanks
You're welcome!
Yes, the red lampshade was easy. Simply have two pleats meet/come together at the top, then the next two do the same on the bottom. Continue interchanging this pattern all the way around. Hope this makes sense! Happy lampshade making!
Loved this SO much!
Hello, Rachel!
Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit!
Thanks for all the great information. 😃 what a inspiration
Hi there, Miss Joyce!
I'm thrilled you found some inspiration & useful information during your visit! Thank you for stopping by & leaving a kind comment. Have a lovely evening!
Wow these are lovely! Very inspired to try this out myself thank you!
Thank you, Miss Hannah!
You will love this! My best tip is to use a lighter weight fabric than I used - like a silk scarf, which you could thrift. I loved doing these & am planning to make a couple more! I wish I could see your project. Happy shade making!
@@StoneCottageHome Thanks for the tip, I will be looking out for the right thing! :)
You're welcome! 🌹
They are all beautiful!😊
Hi, Miss Susan!
Thank you, and thank you for stopping by!
A wonderful tutorial!
Thank you, Miss Nancy! So glad you found it helpful!

Good evening, Miss Lilli & welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family! I'm so thrilled to have you! Thank you for your kind words. You are invited to join me for a fresh visit tomorrow morning!
You have such a good eye!!!😉
Thanks! Anyone can learn with time, practice, and patience. I've certainly bought things that didn't work as I thought!
Thank you! Great tutorial!
You're very welcome, Miss Claire! Thank you for visiting!
The old oil lamp pattern is called blue willow. That is such a great find.
Hello PilotCrissy,
Thanks for the info ~ that lamp is a favorite! I appreciate you stopping by, have a lovely autumn.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing

Beautiful.
Thank you!
Hi, Rachel, great video and I am a new subbie. 💞 Your step by step directions are perfect. I love cottage style and these shades are darling! Have a great week, Mary 🍃🦋🍃
Hello, Miss Mary! Welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family! I'm thrilled you enjoyed your visit & found some inspiration! Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely evening! 🌹
We used to own a lighting store. If you are making a cloth lampshade you need to use fire resistant material. Hope this helps and does not discourage. Just making people aware
Very good point, Miss Margie. Thank you!
I have an old lamp with Rose's and cherubs but my shade is tearing on the inside does anyone know how to fix it
Absolutely beautiful!
You gave such clear, detailed instructions that anyone should be able to follow!
New sub here!! 😊👍🏼💛
Good morning, Miss Teresa & welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family! I'm happy you enjoyed your visit & found the video to be clear & inspiring. Thank you for stopping by & leaving a kind comment, have a lovely day!
👍👍
What great finds, Rachel. Where di you live? My thrift stores didn't have a 4th of your selection, nor the gorgeous fabrics. I want to ho shopping in your stores.
Thank you
Good morning!
We live in Oklahoma, and you're right, the thrift stores (and a couple quilt shops) are especially good here. Thank you for stopping by!
Can't believe the lamps you found! What shop were you in??!
Hello Miss Emily!
These lamps were discovered at different thrift shops and one antique shop. I just keep an eye out for great lamps wherever I am. Thank you for the stopping by and happy Autumn! 🍂🍁
Is the glue not flammable
We've used the lamp daily for a year and haven't had a problem.
Please where is this fabric store?
The fabric store is called "The Savage Quilter" and is in OKC. Thanks for stopping by!
@@StoneCottageHome thank you so much!! I just subscribed to your channel and going thru your videos.
Welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family! We're delighted to have you along & happy fabric shopping!
