TRIM TREATMENT
Sometimes the best medicine for a gloomy
space is just a dose of added flair. It’s as
simple as gluing the trim (or ribbon!) of
your choice to a fabric-wrapped adhesive
lampshade. Visit hobbylobby.com for the
full step-by-step video tutorial.
RIGHT ON HUE
Want a darling desktop? Plant some color! This
garden-inspired print creates a bright-andbalanced color palette that’s sure to become your
workaday mood-lifter. We drew this design with
pastel dye sticks onto a plain fabric and blended
the colors as we worked. For a quicker fix, choose a
pre-patterned fabric instead.
BRIGHT IDEA
Forget your preschool rules, and color
between the lines. Craft the cuties you see
here (or design one of your own) with a
self-adhesive lampshade and just a couple
other supplies.

HOW TO COVER
WITH FABRIC
1
First, press fabric, and lay face down. Remove
pattern from shade, and center it on fabric,
aligning with pattern as desired. Trace around
template with water-soluble marker, leaving
space around edges as shown. Cut out fabric.
Position shade with equal amounts of fabric on
top and bottom. Align fabric edge along the
shade’s seam. Press as you roll shade—keeping
the fabric smooth and tight—to adhere
remaining fabric around. Secure fabric edge
with hot glue.
2
Fold fabric inside shade, and hot glue. Continue
around, and repeat on opposite end. To work
around frame wire, cut slit in fabric. Glue in
place on both sides of wire, and keep working.

PATTERN PAIR
What if we said you could DIY a lampshade in
less time than it takes to listen to your favorite
podcast? It’s true! It’s as quick and easy as cut, wrap, glue.
And this finishing-touch tassel makes turning on the light
that much fancier.
CRAFT TIP:
For an added point of interest,
paint the inside a coordinating
color, and finish with trim for a
polished, side-table look.

SCALES PITCH
(FROM COVER)
Here’s a fancy selling point: a nod to
nautical with a modern elegance. We’re
totally hooked on faux leather circles,
overlapped with hot glue. Feel free to
improvise! Adding some color would
make for a great addition to an anchor’saweigh nursery for your little sailor.
SHADE PARADE
Store-bought shades got you feeling the all-the-same blues? With just a
few of your favorite have-arounds, self-adhesive lampshades (they come
in all sizes and shapes) become one-of-a-kind, customized expressions.
