Most people don’t realize just how easy it is to make a lampshade.  A handmade, custom lampshade can really take any lamp from blah... to Wow!! And you can match it perfectly to your existing home decor using fabric remnants from drapes or throw pillows. Or you can take elements from your lamp's base to contrast with the shade.

This blue fleur-de-lis fabric, for example, goes perfectly with a DIY wine bottle lamp base for a french shabby-chic look:

If you have the right materials, making your own lampshade is a simple project that only takes around an hour. The key material for making a lampshade is pressure-sensitive styrene, also known as adhesive styrene. It's the stiff, plasticky material that most high-quality lampshades use as their base material. Although you can make a lampshade out of regular cardstock or paper, I don't recommend it. (To learn more about using paper as a base, check out my blog post, "Can You Make a Lampshade out of Paper?") Styrene is a far superior material when it comes to lampshade-making.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR LAMPSHADE

  

  1. Iron your fabric thoroughly to ensure there are no creases in the final product.

  2. Measure and record the circumference of the lampshade ring, and add an extra inch. Determine the height you want your finished lamp shade to be by measuring from the bottom to the top of your lamp’s harp.

  3. Trace these dimensions onto the styrene – you should end up with a long rectangle.

  4. Adhere the styrene to the reverse (non-patterned) side of the fabric by peeling off the backing slowly and smoothing with the other hand.  Make sure there are no wrinkles or air bubbles.

Cut out the fabric, adding a half-inch all the way around except for one of the short edges.

Glue the overhanging fabric on the short side to the styrene.

Wrap your fabric & styrene rectangle into a cylinder and attach a bulldog clip to hold it. Rest one of the wire rings on the arms of the bulldog clip. Hold the ring in place using a couple more bulldog clips around the circumference of the ring. Do the same for the other wire ring.

Section by section, paint on the glue and fold over the wire ring. Wait until the glue is tacky, then use your molding wand/stick to gently push the fabric up and underneath the wire ring.

Now put your thing down, flip it and reverse it! Do the same for the other end of the shade.

Once dry, install the lampshade on the lamp base and bask in the warm glow of your crafty genius… er, new lamp!

I want to share my experience with Spartan Tech Group Retrieval, a service that proved to be a lifeline during one of the most challenging times in my life. My journey into cryptocurrency trading began with a substantial boost from my uncle, who invested $20,000 after witnessing his incredible success in the crypto market. After months of diligent research and hands-on trading, I turned that initial investment into a substantial sum of $700,000 by trading Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, this period of success was marred by a devastating betrayal. Friends from college, whom I had trusted implicitly, managed to gain unauthorized access to my phone. They used this access to lock me out of my email and trading accounts, stealing $10,000 from my funds. The emotional impact was significant, as I felt both betrayed and vulnerable. Desperate to recover what was taken and to regain control over my accounts, I sought advice from my brother. He recommended Spartan Tech Group Retrieval, with this email: contact@spartantechgroupretrieval.org A service he had heard positive things about. Although I was initially apprehensive, I decided to reach out to them in the hope that they could help me recover my assets. From the moment I contacted Spartan Tech Group Retrieval, their professionalism and expertise were apparent. The team used advanced security measures and a systematic approach to address the situation. They conducted a thorough investigation, uncovering the extent of the theft and taking swift action to help me regain access to my accounts. Thanks to Spartan Tech Group Retrieval intervention, I was able to recover most of my stolen funds. The team’s efforts revealed that only $10,000 had been transferred out by my so-called friends, and the majority of my assets remained intact. This recovery was a significant relief and restored a degree of normalcy to my financial situation. Beyond the financial recovery, this experience taught me invaluable lessons about trust and security. It underscored the importance of safeguarding personal information and maintaining vigilance over digital assets. I learned to be more cautious and implement stricter security measures to protect myself from future threats. Wizard Web Recovery played a crucial role in this journey, not only in helping me recover my funds but also in reinforcing my faith in finding reliable and trustworthy support when facing digital security challenges. Their professional approach and effective solutions have made a lasting impact on my outlook on security and trust in the crypto world. If you find yourself in a similar situation, struggling with unauthorized access or theft of digital assets, I highly recommend Spartan Tech Group Retrieval. Their expertise and dedication can make a significant difference, providing both practical solutions and peace of mind during stressful times.

HOW I RECOVERED MY STOLEN CRYPTOCURRENCY BACK —> REVENANT CYBER HACKER
I want to use this Medium to say big thanks to the REVENANT CYBER HACKER, My husband and I were scammed by a Bitcoin investment online, we lost about $165,000 to them and they denied us withdrawal requests and gave us all sorts of filthy requests. It was a really hard time for my husband and me because that was all we had and they tricked me into investing the money with a guarantee that I would make a profit from the investment. They took all the money and we did not hear from them anymore. I was the one who involved my husband in this nonsense because he was not in support of this and I had to convince him due to the assurance they gave me, I also saw some people testifying about them which gave me the courage to invest in their platform. All Thanks to the REVENANT CYBER HACKER Who came to our rescue, we can recover all the money we lost. Kudos to REVENANT CYBER HACKER. I paid 10% of the recovered funds to their service charge after I got all my money back. I am grateful to them because I know a lot of people here have been scammed and need help. Contact them on:

ICC RECOVERY SERVICE SAVED MY DAY:
I would have lost all my assets if ICC RECOVERY SERVICE hadn’t stepped in. I opened a case with them when the Ledger Nano X I’ve been using for ages crashed. This happened when I decided to update the Ledger’s firmware and try to move a specific UXTO via coin control and I got an error on the frontend. While at it, the Ledger services were overloaded due to network issues and a retry was my only option later. Just when I got right back at it, I realize all my BTC were rooted to unknown addresses. The mistake I made was, I didn’t specify the UTXO chain prior to network overload and I got burnt severely. I was crestfallen by this mistake for days. While going back and forth, I came across several reviews and recommendations on Google and Yelp and I decided to contact ICC RECOVERY SERVICE and we hit it off immediately. During the diagnostic and reclaim phase, they traced my assets to several CEX wallets and all assets were retrieved after 2 business days eventually. I’m thankful to this prolific team not only for recovering my assets but also for the professionalism they displayed in my desperate times. ICC team were incredibly impressive, professionally tech savvy enough to avert my loss and they kept me updated throughout the process. For timely recovery of lost passwords and seed phrases, hacked wallets and lost funds with fake financial brokers, chatting with ICC RECOVERY SERVICE is the right solution. I highly recommend ICC as a recovery company.
