Feature
●DIY LAMPSHADE STYRENE: Pressure sensitive adhesive styrene for lampshades is a thin polystyrene sheet with a sticky adhesive backing. Its the most commonly used lampshade liner in professionally manufactured lampshades because its flame-resistant, durable, and translucent enough for the light of a bulb to pass through. Reveal the adhesive backing on the styrene by peeling back a release liner, then apply your choice of material to the styrene to make professional quality lampshade.

Light-medium weight cotton is the easiest to work with but the possibilities are endless!
●RESCUE OLD LAMPSHADES: The lampshade materials in old shades tends to crack and yellow after many years of use, but that doesnt mean you have to buy a brand new lampshade. Before throwing out your old shade, consider restoring it to its former glory by simply replacing the lampshade liner with adhesive styrene.

How to Make a Round Drum Lampshade in An Hour or Less:
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
Gather Your Supplies:
|
Adhere Styrene to FabricApply the adhesive side of the styrene to the reverse side of the material youre using. Peel back 5" at a time and smooth it down with your hand as you go to adhere your fabric to the styrene. |
Seal EdgesApply glue to the fabric overhang on the short side of the styrene. Trim the fabric overhang, leaving a 1/2 inch on all sides except on one of the short sides. |
Create Drum StructureRoll the styrene into a cylinder. Attach binder clips on each end to keep the cylinder in place. Keep the ‘arms’ of the top clip facing up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
Attach Lampshade RingsLower the top ring (the one with spokes) onto the top binder clip so it rests between the arms. Make sure the ring’s spikes face down inside the lampshade. Use more binder clips to position the top ring flush with the styrene edge. |
Glue Rings to FabricSection by section, apply the glue to the overhanging fabric and distribute it with an old paintbrush or the nozzle of the glue bottle. Once the glue is tacky, fold the fabric over the ring. |
Tuck Fabric Under RingsUse the moulding stick to gently push the fabric up and behind the rings. Once the top is done, flip the lampshade over and repeat this process for the bottom ring. Apply some glue under the seam to finish. |
Enjoy!Allow your glue to completely dry before removing the butterfly clips. This will take roughly an hour. Then voila, youre done! Time to enjoy your DIY Lampshade! |
