DIY Lampshade with Cut-Out Geometric Pattern

 

Making a DIY lampshade means you can create a completely customized look - from the size & dimensions of the shade to the fabric you use to cover it. But your options don't end there. There are great non-fabric options for covering your lampshade and ways you can play around with the adhesive styrene in your DIY Lampshade Making Supplies - like cutting patterns out of the styrene for a self-patterned look. When the lamp is turned on, the light shines through the cut-outs, making your chosen pattern or text come to life. The look can be subtle or bold, depending on the pattern you create. This classic drum lampshade gets an easy lift with triangle cut-outs at the base of the shade.

What you'll need

 

  • X-acto knife

  • Scissors or rotary cutter & mat

  • DIY Lampshade Making Supplies. I used a custom sized 16" high X 18" diameter kit, which is a good all-around size for a floor lamp

  • Natural fiber fabric. Light/medium weight 100% cotton is by far the easiest to work with


How to do it

 

  1. Design your cut-out pattern. Triangles are a fast and simple cut-out option. You could also get creative with more delicate floral cut-outs, or bolder with large graphic text cut-outs.

  2. Trace your pattern onto the sheet of adhesive styrene included in the lampshade kit. Carefully cut out the shapes with an X-acto knife.

  3. Follow the instructions included in the lampshade kit.

How I Recovered $500K After a Devastating Crypto Scam:
My name is Oscar Merwitzer from Atlanta, Michigan, born and raised. Out here, your word matters, and I trusted someone who didn’t deserve it.
It started with a friendly online conversation about crypto investing. The woman I met on X seemed genuine, and helpful like someone trying to guide a working-class family man toward a better future. I started with $7,000. Then $12,000. Then more. Every time I checked the dashboard, my “investment” was growing. It looked legitimate and I was thankful for her guidance.
In total, I put in over $500K. That was my retirement, the equity from our home, and even took out a loan. Then, one day, everything vanished. The website was gone. No customer support. The woman I trusted. Disappeared and I was in limbo.
The FBI called it a “pig butchering scam,” run out of Southeast Asia. That didn’t get me my life savings back and the failed financial opportunity left my family crestfallen for days and weeks.
For months, I felt helpless and confused. Then someone at a bar mentioned ICC Recovery Services. I listened keenly though I was skeptical hearing such from a random stranger but in my desperation I reached out.
From the very first conversation, ICC team treated me with respect and urgency. They collected the details, traced the crypto transactions, and against all odds recovered nearly all of my lost funds back to my account in two working weeks.
Thanks to ICC, my wife and I got our future back. They charged a fee, yes, but it was more than worth it. Without them, we’d still be trying to rebuild from nothing.
If you’ve been scammed, don’t stay silent. There is hope.
Reach out to ICC Services:
Ironcladcyber@techie . com
Ironcladcyberrecovery@gmail . com and @ICCRECOVERY on Telegram to recover your assets.
They helped me when I thought all was lost. They might be helpful to you too.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com

How I Got My Ex Back with the Help of a Spell Caster +2349161779461

Hello everyone, my name is Kiara Hahn from California. I want to share my story about a powerful spell caster named Dr. Jakuta. I was heartbroken when my fiancé left me without warning, and I spent the last month feeling confused, guilty, and devastated. Desperate for help, I searched online for relationship advice and found Dr. Jakuta, who has helped many people with their relationship problems. I reached out to him, and he promised to bring my fiancé back to me within 72 hours. After following his instructions, my fiancé surprisingly showed up at my doorstep, apologized, and now we’re living happily together again. If you’re having relationship issues, you can contact Dr. Jakuta at:
