Lamp shade help

21 years ago

I need to know how to cover a lamp shade with fabric. I will be using red Patriots material. (no did not just jump on the wagon...lol.. am a long time fan)

How do i go about cutting it to the correct size and how to attach it. Any help will be great.

Thank you

I'd probably wrap the fabric around it to measure how much I need and cut from that. As far as adhering it, maybe spray adhesive??

Cara - Check the link below. It will probably have the answers you are looking for.

If not, please give us a little more information... does the lampshade have paper or cloth already on it?
Is it just a wire frame?
Is it a plain (straight-sided) shade or is it more hourglass shaped?
Etc.
