Fabric Chandelier Shades

This pretty shade is layered from the bottom up like a shingled roof with overlapping flower petals kept in place with hot glue. Whole flowers attached here and there add even more dimension.

Steps:

1. Remove the paper lining over the shade to reveal the sticky surface. Use the template provided to cut the fabric according to the directions.

Another option is to stencil paper or plastic shades to enhance a room's theme. Tape the stencil in place and apply the paint over it. Reposition the stencil as needed until you have a beautiful handcrafted shade.

2. Roll the shade over the fabric, smoothing it as you go. Glue the ends to the inside of the shade to cover the top and bottom edges.

3. Glue beaded trim along the inside bottom edge for a finishing touch.
