How to Cover a Lampshade

Using Wallpaper

Jan 26, 2025

The lampshades were made of leftover bits of wallpaper I’ve used in the cabin. I’ve used cheap fabric clip-on shades from Dunelm but you can buy them anywhere online. You can basically find all the info you need in the video but here’s a quick shopping list:

  • Fabric and paper glue

  • Fabric and paper scissors

  • Sewing Clips

  • Bias Tape

I want to add that you can also use this tutorial if you want to cover a lampshade with fabric. The only thing you have to change is the glue, use a good fabric glue instead of paper glue.
