Top Quality Rolled Edge Lampshade
from your covering

Design and make a professional Lampshade with our brilliant DIY Kit.

Fabrics, Printouts, Pictures, Photos & Wallpaper can all be used with our specialist kit.
 
You will need a DIY Lampshade kit, available from www.needcraft.co.uk 

Kit includes
Wire Ring set - Self Adhesive lampshade panel with pre creased edges
5mtr roll of Self Adhesive Tape & the rolled edge tool.


You will also need - Covering of choice , Sharp knife and a Pencil.

 
   
Decorate your panel - Select your covering for your lampshade and follow the instructions below.
   
 
  1.  Place your covering over the self adhesive lampshade panel and cut down to a workable size.
     
  2. Your covering needs to be bigger than the lampshade panel, we suggest at least 2cm (1inch) all round
  1. Remove any creases and any loose fibres from the covering and lay out COVERING FACE DOWN  on a suitable work surface.
     
  2. Place the self adhesive lampshade panel on top for position
     
  1. Once you are happy with the positioning mark the fabric.
  1. Peel back around 10cm of the release paper, and fold. 
  1. Place the lampshade panel over your covering ADHESIVE SIDE DOWN and align.
  1. Once in position, stick the first 10cm down and smooth out.
  1. If you are happy with the placement, remove the rest of the release paper by placing your hand under the panel and pulling the exposed release paper smoothing from the middle out.
     
  2. Turn the panel over so the covering is now face up and press the fabric into adhesive and smooth.
  1. Place the panel face down and cut off surplus material by running a sharp knife along the edges of the panel.
  1. Snapback the edges around the panel until the PVC breaks.
  1. Remove the PVC to leave the covering.

  1. Your lampshade panel should now look like this, ready for lampshade assembly.
     

  1. Put a strip of self adhesive tape on the right edge of the panel.

    This will be used for sticking the seam.
     
  1. Stick the self adhesive tape to the outside of the lampshade rings and cover the edge the whole way round. Try and keep the tape in the centre applying evenly.

    Once the tape is on all the way round, press the tape into the shape of the wire.

 
  1. Remove the release paper from the ring with the lamp holder attached.

    Once removed put the ring down on your work surface with the lamp holder down, otherwise the ring will stick to the table.

 

If your covering is directional, you will need to think about which lampshade ring goes to the top or bottom.  Depends on the application Table lamp or Pendant. The lamp holder ring needs to be inserted to sit within the lampshade not extending out.
 
  1. Remove the release paper from the second ring and place down on the edge of the panel.
     
  2. Pick up the other ring, place on the opposite edge, and roll both rings around the panel keeping the wire in line to the pvc edge.
     
  3. When you get to the overlap, remove the release paper from the seam and press both panels together.
     
  1. Fold over the surplus covering all the way round so that it covers the inside of the lampshade ring.
  1. Using the serrated edge of the tool provided carefully push the surplus covering behind the ring.
  1. Continue all the way around the lampshade.
    You may also use the tools point to tuck
    the material behind the ring.
