How to make a DIY lamp shade:
Decorating a lamp shade with your own custom details is easy to do. To make a lamp shade, start with a plain white hardback shade. At Lamps Plus, we have several shapes of plain white shades available. You can also use a color shade, but the white shades offer more room for customization.
Tips for decorating lamp shades:
To apply trim or other material you can glue fabric to a lamp shade. Start from the seam of the shade and use a hot glue gun to set in place. Decorative items such as yarn, fabric flowers, or beads can also be hot-glued in place.
More DIY Lamp Ideas
To make your own shade, you can also use markers or paint directly onto shade fabric or material. Add areas of color, or create a free-form pattern. Lamp shades are a great way to add personalized style to your interior design and home décor. Now, use your imagination and have fun!
