"Romantic Shades"

Price $15

We all love romance. And words like "colorful, dreamlike, exotic, picturesque, idyllic" are all used when we create a special mood for romance. Now you can use these beautiful "shades" to create your perfect romantic mood. You can use them as ornaments or as we did, as romantic lampshades.

(see full, "easy-to-do" tutorial at bottom of page)

01.jpg

 

Step 1

Stitch out your 6 side panels and one top panel.

02.jpg

Step 2

Sew side panels to top panel.

03.jpg

 

Step 3

It should look like this when all 6 side panels are attached to the top panel.

04.jpg

Step 4

Sew side panels together. (side to side)

Wash out your water soluble-stabilizer in tepid water. Let dry.

Feel free to use an embellishment to decorate your shade.

05.jpg

 

Step 5

Cut a duplicate top panel from cardboard. (this will reinforce the top section of your shade.)

06.jpg

Step 6

If you want to make this a lamp shade, you might want to acquire the following from your local hardware store:

  • 1 x plug
  • 1 x ready-made light socket
  • 1 x 15 watt light bulb
  • Your cardboard (as explained in Step 5)
  • The shade of your choice.

07.jpg

 

Step 7

Attach ready-made light socket to your shade.

08.jpg

Step 8

Note that the cardboard reinforcement is on the inside of the shade. That way it remains out of sight.

09.jpg

 

Step 9

Insert your lightbulb.

Step 10

Attach your plug and enjoy your romantic shade.
