Lampshade Making Supplies Close-up images of materials needed.

Template to make a miniature lampshade 1. Click enlarge image, then print the following lampshade template on cardstock.

Harp Template to make a miniature lampshade 2. Click enlarge image, then print the following harp template on cardstock.

Scoring the template 3. Score the lampshade template along all black lines.

TIP:
When selecting your decorative paper, you can use parchment paper, however, you may find it a bit "floppy"; you can strengthen it with Modge Podge or something after the shade is formed. Wallpaper is also a good material for making lampshades.

Gluing the template to the paper 4. Using the Glue Stick, glue the back of the lampshade template to the back of your decorative paper.
Cut through template and decorative paper on red lines.

Folding along score lines 5. Gently fold along score lines toward the template side to form the shade.

Gluing tab A to tab B 6. Apply glue to decorative side of Tab A, then glue to the inside of Tab B

Cutting harp template 7. Cut harp from cardstock along red lines.

8. Using the needle tool, poke a hole through the center of the harp.

Scoring and bending harp points 9. Score harp along black lines, then bend harp points down along score lines.

Insert toothpick in harp 10. Insert the toothpick into the hole in the center of the harp. Stick it through about 3/4" and glue in place. Put a small dab of glue (Aileen's tacky glue works best) on each point of the harp.

Insert harp into shade 11. With the points of the harp pointing down, insert the harp into the shade, gently pushing the glued points against the inside of the lampshade, making sure the harp sits evenly against the inside of the shade.
