Patterned Lampshade
Materials/items needed:

- Spray adhesive
- ½” Cotton twilling
- Pencil
- Scissors or rotary cutter
- Cutting mat
- Cardboard
- Glue gun
Process:
- Firstly, with the fabric facing the wrong way up, place the lampshade on the side and mark the desired location for the design on the fabric. Next, use a pencil to trace its course on the cloth.
- After tracing the line, leave ¾ inch on each side and cut it out.
- Adhere to the directions provided on your spray adhesive and make sure the area is well-ventilated before spraying.
- The cloth on one end of the shade should then be attached to the other end. Fold the fabric over by approximately ½” at the end, spray the end, and firmly attach.
- Smooth out any bubbles by gently folding the cloth around the lampshade’s two ends.
- Use cotton twilling and glue it to the interior of the lampshade to finish the design. When the lightbulb turns on and everything is visible, this will assist hold the fabric to the shade and give it a neat line!

Woven Vase
