Lampshades from stores like Anthropologie are pretty, but they can also cost a pretty penny. Here are some ways you can get the look for less by DIY-ing your own designer shade. This Anthropologie lampshade is heavy on the embroidery and embellishments. The shade itself is plain gray cotton, with fabric flowers and embroidered details. Make your own version for half of Anthropologie's price.
If you're handy with an embroidery needle, you could DIY this look on a rectangular sheet of fabric and then apply it to adhesive styrene; but if you don't have the skill (or patience), simply apply some ready-made embellishments to a finished shade. We love these fabric flowers from isakayboutique on Etsy:
...and dainty crocheted creations from CaitlinSainio, also on Etsy:
The Anthropologie shade is 8.5" high and 12" in diameter. Get a custom DIY Lampshade Making Supplies in a similar size for $25.
Another Anthropologie looks that can be made for less: a simple eyelet fabric shade. While the store version will set you back $99, you can make your own version for just $37.
A similar eyelet fabric is $12 per yard at fabric.com:

The dimensions of the small PB shade is 12.5" diameter x 8.5" high. A 12" x 10" custom size DIY Lampshade Making Supplies will set you back just $25.

Next time you see a designer lampshade you love but at a price, you don't start thinking instead of how you could re-create the look for less. You might end up with something you like even more than the original!

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:

Hailey Garcia
December 02, 2024
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
