Miss Rachel, what a lovely DIY lampshade. Looks stunning in your living room. I recently tried my hand at making a pleated lampshade - and now I’m hooked! No shade in my home is “safe” from my new obsession. LOL Please keep your inspirational videos coming!
Oh wow...I was looking at some gingham fabric this morning for my kitchen lampshade....& here is a tutorial on how to actually do it lol. I've never done a lampshade before so thank you for sharing this x
Love how you did the copper round base lamp that would be more my style to redo a lamp shade. Love the tour on different patterns and trim made my mind start thinking lol. Thank you for sharing this wonderful project. 😊❤
Hi there thank you for this tutorial, just recovered two small lampshades using this method. I'm from the UK living in the USA and your English cottage videos gives me a taste of 'home' and stops me feeling homesick for the UK. After finding your channel I have just subscribed and will be checking out all your previous videos 😍
Welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family, Miss Sue! We are thrilled to have you along and glad you are connecting with a style that says "home" to you! Congrats on your two new lampshades! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
The lamp shades came out beautifully 🎉. I love them so much. I never would have thought of using that design on a lampshade and it really makes such a lovely statement. A mop head, hahaha. You had me laughing at that statement. Well, back to work, I’m deep cleaning my bedroom and I’m moving as slow as a turtle. Mostly because I don’t want to do it. 😂. Take care ~ Janet 😘
Good evening, Miss Janet! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit and got a good laugh as well. Good for you cleaning - you'll enjoy it when you're done! Thank you for stopping by!
Oh, how fun, Miss Connie! I hope you find the journey satisfying and the fulfillment of cultivating a home you cherish and thrill to share with others. Happy, happy home designing!
Good morning, Miss Nilsa! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and will give the pleated lampshade a try! I appreciate you stopping by. Have a lovely weekend!
Wow... this is a labor of love. Takes lots of patience . I can't believe how beautiful that fabric turned out. I would definitely have been intimidated by the spacing of the block print... but you nailed it!!!! And love the way the two shades coordinate , but are totally different visually.
Just lovely Miss Rachel! ❤ You are just so informative,and give us all the incouragement and tools we need!!! What an inspiration you are to me. Youve got me seriously looking at and picturing all my lamps done like this now! Thank you for all the time and effort you both take in giving us the best videos. Beautifully done. ❤❤❤
Good morning, Rachel! It is always a pleasure to visit with you! You are inspiring me to make pleated lamp shades and to trade out my switches to pull chains. Have a blessed day!
Good morning, Miss Brigid! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit and found it helpful and inspiring. I hope you give the pleated lampshade a try! May you have a blessed day too!
I love your pleated lamp tutorial. Thank you for sharing. I like to use decorative pull chains with my antique/vintage lamps. They can be found for sale everywhere by doing a simple "search".
Encantada de haber descubierto tu canal,. Soy de España y me encantaría que pudieras poner algunos subtítulos ya sería perfecto del todo. Un saludo y seguiré viendo tus vídeos 😘

What a great idea and a lovely lampshade. To give an even better finish to the trim, on the inside of the top of the shade, it may have been better to cut the fabric for the trim on the bias.
Stunningly beautiful, this is a project I will be trying... Thank you so much for sharing this with us Mrs.Rachel...I enjoyed learning an easier way...
Rachel, the lamp is beautiful. You did an amazing job, so professional looking....I love your inspiration videos...Thank you so much for showing me how it is possible to do......
Ms. Rachel, you did a superb job on those lamp shades! They look like they are fresh from a professional upholstery workroom! I adore them. You and Matt make a great team. Looking forward to seeing your next project! ❤, Bobbie.
Just found your channel today. Subscribed immediately! I’m all about English and French County decor. Loved the tutorial on this lamp today. Has really inspired me to re-cover some shades that go with two marble table lamps that I inherited from my parents. I will probably try covering a smaller shade before I tackle the larger ones. So, if I make mistakes, I will learn on the smaller one and hopefully not make the same ones again. Great video!
Welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family! We are happy to have you join the fun! I'm so glad our channel resonates with you and you enjoyed the pleated shade tutorial. You can do it!
Good morning, friends! Today I'm excited to share with you a simple technique for making a no-sew pleated lampshade that doesn't look like a DIY project! I hope you are inspired to give this a try! For those of you that love the Indian hand blocked print I chose here is the Etsy shop where I found mine: www.etsy.com/listing/855743025/block-print-fabric-voile-cotton-fabric?click_key=e195487f00f73770a5ad9653c631d35e05b4af57%3A855743025&click_sum=43e3a33e&ref=hp_rv-2&sts=1
Hello. Lovely and informative video. However, I was taught to fold over the bias tape so the rough seam isn’t showing. That may have eliminated the tearing at the top! Loved the calm instructions. You’re the best
@@terrizimmerman5297 I agree! Posting once a week would be such fun, but with the other businesses we run and life etc. this is what's working for now. Maybe some day! Thank you for your kind, encouraging support, Miss Terri!
A stunning result today and informative video too, thank you. As always clear, concise and a bit of fun thrown in to make viewing very enjoyable. The dining room makeover soon! Be still my beating heart:-)) Im looking forward to that episode too, cant wait. xx
Another excellent video, Mrs. Rachel! I want you to know that your first lampshade video gave me the courage to try it myself! Although I didn't have enough of the vintage April Cornell fabric to pleat the shade, I did cover it and make my own trim for the top and bottom using left over pieces. It took me a while, as I'd never done anything like this, but it was fun! I now call it my "blood, sweat and tears" shade 😂 But I do plan on making a pleated shade sometime later this year, and now I have even more inspiration and guidance! My next project though will be transforming six 102" vintage linen tablecloths into curtains for my bedroom. I'm very excited, but not happy about climbing the ladder.
Good morning, Miss Suzanne! I'm glad you gave the pleated lampshades a try. It may be time consuming, but it's worth it! Same for your curtains. What a sense of satisfaction you'll have once they're done!
Good morning, Miss Stephanie! Thank you for your patience at my delayed response. Yes! I have seen others covering a lampshade frame with one long continuous strip of fabric. Let me know how it goes!
Hi Rachel - good to see you! This was a very informative video. I do not sew, so I've never been in a fabric shop! The amount and variety of trims were just amazing; makes me want to try making a pleated lampshade. I've always loved them! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing this information, you made it seem almost easy to try!😁. Loved the way they turned out, particularly the bonus lamp. I may have to try this out for myself and will have your video on in the background for technical assistance!❤
How did you know how much material to order? How did you figure out how many strips you needed to complete you pleated lamp shade? And how wide do you recommend cutting each strip?
Good evening! For a large lampshade like this, I bought 2 yards, which would be a good bit more than I needed, but since the fabric was coming all the way from India I didn't want to run out. The strips were cut at 2.5 inches wide. Every shad is different, so you won't know how many strips to cut until you see how well they are covering. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I have a pretty little aqua color lamp I bought a few years ago and the shade is cracking. I've wanted to replace it with a new one but got sticker shock. Thanks for this video because I'm going to try it myself.
Thank you for asking. If you prefer not to make your own bias tape trim, then you can purchase it from the fabric store, as shown in the video. For a matching trim, you will need to sew your own. Both options are demonstrated in this video.
The actual construction of the lamp shade was great, however, I do not like your choice of fabric, It doesn't flow around the lamp, pattern is up and down and white areas. A better choice could have been made that matches your room.
Thank you for your inspiration
You are so welcome, Miss Tracey!
Thanks for the tip/ideas sweet Rachel!🫶🏻 I have been wondering.☺️ I love it!
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

Perfect timing!

The options are endless!
Thank you very much!
You are welcome, Miss Helen!
This is such a great idea!

They just the coolest!

Wow the selection at your local quilting shop is incredible! I love the reproduction fabrics. I wish my local quilt shops stocked those!
It is a fantastic quilt shop! Thanks for stopping by!
Wow... this is a labor of love. Takes lots of patience . I can't believe how beautiful that fabric turned out. I would definitely have been intimidated by the spacing of the block print... but you nailed it!!!! And love the way the two shades coordinate , but are totally different visually.
Glad you enjoyed the video, Miss Liane! It really was easy, just time consuming. Don't be afraid to give it a try!
I really like what you did and you made it look so easy! Very nice!
Yay, I'm hoping viewers will give it a try! Once you've made one, there's not a shade in the house safe from being a candidate!
Beautiful technique!!❤ THANK YOU!!❤️
You are so welcome, Miss Melba!

I enjoyed this video greatly. I’ve not tackled a lampshade YET, but did no-iron pleated arch window shade treatments in our master bedroom.
You've got it made then!

Wonderful! You can totally do it, Miss Sharen! Good to see you too!
Another great video!! Very informative. And the lamp shade was absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you so much, Miss Connie!
I hope you give it a try!
Happy Independence Day, Rachel and Matt! Miss you on TH-cam lately! Hope all is well!
Happy Independence Day to you, too, Miss Janet! We are doing well, and no worries, there's another video "visit" in the works!
Hey Rachael:) I have been wanting to do a pleated lamp shade ! You did such a nice job on yours :)
Wonderful, I hope this helps!
Could you do your strips over a frame without any fabric on it making it more sheer? Or maybe you wouldn't have anything to glue to 🤔. . .
Good morning, Miss Stephanie!
Thank you for your patience at my delayed response. Yes! I have seen others covering a lampshade frame with one long continuous strip of fabric. Let me know how it goes!

Woukd a bias maker tool work to fold the strips?
Yes, Ma'am!
I have a pretty little aqua color lamp I bought a few years ago and the shade is cracking. I've wanted to replace it with a new one but got sticker shock. Thanks for this video because I'm going to try it myself.
Yay!
I'm excited for you! Happy lamshade making!
😊
How would you suggest replacing the liner if it has torn?
Great question, Miss Katherine.
You've got me stumped... possibly cut panels of fabric to size and glue them inside the lamp?
❤
Why you didn't polish the brass lamp?
I prefer the vintage patina.
Beautiful video, but I won't be trying my hand at making a pleated shade. As much as I admire them, I don't think I have the patience to make one.
Thanks for stopping by!
When I used hot glue the heat from lightbulb made glue melt
You might try LED bulbs as they don't give off heat.
My concern would be: mighten the hot glue soften under the heat of the bulb? Other than that, lovely.
Good morning, Miss Mary!
No worries, the glue has not softened in the last year. The light bulb is an LED and does not give off heat.
@@StoneCottageHome es. Smart. Use not hot LED's. Thanks!
Isnt this a fire hazard?
No Ma'am, LED bulbs don't let off heat.
Iron the pleats. Will make all the difference!
I thought this was a tutorial on how to make the shade.
No sew…..what’s the sewing machine doing then?
Thank you for asking. If you prefer not to make your own bias tape trim, then you can purchase it from the fabric store, as shown in the video.
For a matching trim, you will need to sew your own. Both options are demonstrated in this video.
The actual construction of the lamp shade was great, however, I do not like your choice of fabric, It doesn't flow around the lamp, pattern is up and down and white areas. A better choice could have been made that matches your room.
To each their own.
