At last a DIY video that doesn't have constant yak yak yak all the way from start to finish. Looks really lovely 😀
I definitely try not to do that too much!
After looking at replacement shades at the cost of $48 each, this video is a lifesaver! Thank you so much for making it!
You are so welcome! Working on another makeover very soon actually! I hope you'll watch. If you're on Instagram I'd love to see you there, too! instagram.com/themarkmontano/
Great video; love it. The only thing I would say when using a fabric with a printed design (repeat pattern) make sure to mach the design when joining/gluing the two together on the frame. Thanks for sharing.
I did my best, but alas, it was still a little off here and there! I still love it and I put the crooked side toward the wall. :)
AAHHH!!!! When I watched this, I literally SQUEALED!!! Now I have every lightshade in my house on my living room floor and I am searching for fabric. You've changed me forever and I love you for it!!! THANK YOU for filling up my crafty little heart with fabric and trimming goodness!!!!
Hahaha, I love your reaction to Mark's lamp project. I feel much the same.
Shivers InTheDark314 Did u do your shades?
Happy you like the project! Thank you!
I was just shopping online for someone that could recover by ripped up lamp shades. I'm a big crafter why didn't I think of this. Thx and your video is perfect!!!😅
Yes, he's fun and inspiring! Lampshades are ridiculous expensive!
Just about anything ratty on the side of the street pulls at my heart strings....love your lampshade, Mark! I never thought about stripping it first, all my attempts have been to go over the existing fabric and Ive never had one turn out quite how I had hoped, tfs!
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
I did a lampshade project very much like this almost 30 years ago. If hot glue existed, I did not know of it. Instead, I found Tacky Glue. I bought plain colored bias tape and used the Tacky Glue to wrap each and every rib on my lamp shade frame tightly. In doing this, I gave myself a surface to glue my panels to. I then waited at least a day for the ribs to dry.
The next step was to glue on the top and right side of every panel to the cloth on the ribs. I then let those dry overnight. The next day, I could glue the bottoms and left sides. The left sides were glued to the right side of the panel next to them. Once the panels were all dry, I trimmed up close to the glue and then covered every seam with fancy rick-rack. I used bridal fabric because mine was a formal lampshade, and on the bottom edge, I glued a 4" fringe. It has held up all these years, and no one could ever tell that it was made this way.
Amazing technique Nancy! You're a PRO!
YES!!! Thank you Mark. I finally find a tutorial for this particular type of lamp shade and it's perfect for the print on the fabric I want to use. All the other how-to's I looked at are the typical trace the shade on paper then on the fabric and just would not have worked, so thank you. Lol I felt like a dummy when I saw your video and thought "DUH" so simple. You're awsome
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
i've had your Big Ass book for years and I LOVE IT. It's the best craft book I've ever seen!! Found your channel entirely by accident when looking for lampshade ideas. I was watching you with the sound off and I recognized the Big Ass book behind you in the shot. then I looked at the name of the channel and realized YOU are Mark Montano!!! I'm so glad I found your channel!

Checked a couple of sites then found yours excellent in every way and now thanks to you I am now in process of revamping my old lampshade Thank you again
Any time Carol! You can always line yours if you choose a white cotton first and then the fabric over it.
That lamp shade looks really nice Mark! Thanks for showing us how to customize a lamp for any room.
You're so welcome Abel! you can cut a lining for it as well and put that on first if you want. I use a dim edison bulb when you can see through the fabric a bit. Hey, if you're on Instagram, I'd love to see you there, too. Here's my link: instagram.com/themarkmontano/

It would have criminal NOT to make over that poor lampshade! Now it's gorgeous!
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
My goodness. Wish I had found you last year. I sewed mine and it didn't work so well. I will now have another go with the matching frame that I so nearly threw out!
Sewing is too hard for me, too! Gluing is so much easier!
I almost got tears in my eyes when I saw how you transformed this shade. So beautiful and it really does look easy to do. Thanks Mark!
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
Hi what kind of glue gun you use, I like your better than mine!!!
Surebonder Detail Glue Gun
I need to do this immediately to my bedroom lamp! Spectacular! Thank you 😊
You’re welcome! Use a cool energy efficient bulb and you're golden! I hope you'll find me on Instagram, too! I'm here: instagram.com/themarkmontano/reels/ 😊
Beautiful
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
Hello Mark! And thank you for this how to fancy lamp shade DIY! The other day A friend of mine gave me a beautiful wrought iron Candlestick lamp with a white shade oh, and she told me that the shade was stained, but I knew I could find something to fix it with and here is your video! What beautiful fabric you used and how creative! I thank you again!
So glad this worked out for you Denise! Hey, if you're on Instagram I'd love to see you there, too! Here's my link just in case: instagram.com/themarkmontano/
Mark, fabulous job on the lamp! The fabric is gorgeous and looks so expensive! I was wondering about your glue gun as well, What brand is it?
Not sure about the brand, but it's a fine tip glue gun from JoAnn fabric and crafts. JoAnn has some seriously good crafty aisles now!
Hi Mark - the shade looks great and you've shown a really easy way to upcycle the old shade - and much simpler than the traditional stretch and stitch method. I love upcycling. We live in such a disposable society it makes me sad. Many thanks David
You're so right, David. I remember my first apartment in NYC. It was filled with furniture I found on the street. Beautiful things that people were tossing or selling for little to nothing. I loved that boho way of life and still do.
LOL!! I feel the same way when I see things that I can fix on the side of the street. hahaha
Right! So many free treasures out there!
Dear Mark, You made a true treasure out of someone's trash! Your instructions are clear and your results are elegant!
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
they just jump in the car as I drive by
Tammy Phifer 😂😂😂😍😍😍🤔
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
Lol
Loved the way you created a beautiful lamp shade, thank you for sharing....keep on creating.
I will Angelica! Thanks for watching.
Mark, you are fabulous. You should have your own show on HGTV....
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
I live on an Alaskan island where its hard to get things...and Wow! So inspired to recycle and sell your DIY creative ideas! Thank you for sharing your art.
Sell away! I require 10% or cake.
Holy crap, you are an actual artistic genius. I absolutely love your channel, I’m so glad I found this!
Really happy you found me, too! I hope you'll follow me on Instagram! instagram.com/themarkmontano/reels/
love lamps and matching shades are the bomb
Every shade in my house is covered! Love doing this!
Your eye for color, texture and patterns are incredible! You make things with minimal tools and explain the steps extremely well. I am on a very tight budget having just moved with not a lot of money left over to make my place cute and pretty. I'm so glad I found your channel my dear!
It's easier than it looks! Promise!
Love how it turned out. Quite beautiful I must say. The fabric says it all. Thanks for sharing your ideas.❤❤❤👏👏👏
Thanks so much 😊 I hope you'll find me on Instagram! I'm @TheMarkMontano
Awesome Lamp shade mark. Thank you for the motivation.
My pleasure! I hope you make some for your home!
Another great video Mark. I'm a sewer so always love ideas with fabric.
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
No stopping me now Mark. Thank you for inspiration and know how. Brilliant tutorial.
Write if you have a question!
Mark this a great diy for an old lampshade, even a new one too. If you wants to change the look of a lampshade to match your decor. Thanks for another great Saturday morning diy day. :-D
Yvette! You're so welcome! Thanks for the comment. :)
I love your creativity & humor!
I appreciate that Carol! Stay in touch, OK!
I have a small collection of rescued lampshades. Now I know what to do with them. Thanks for the tutorial!
Of course Shawn! Thanks for the comment!
I've searched you tube to learn how to cover a shade shaped like yours, to no avail. BUT, then I found you. You made it so clear, I'm about to go cut out my material, after I measure it. I love love love your material and style with the trim you chose. Mine is quite different. I'm attempting organza, then cover half of that with lace. This is for my niece's shabby chic bedroom. I have tiny roses and lots of embellishments with double lace trim and top it off with a white boa to give it some teenage bling. It's all white, except pale pink organza and different shades of pink roses. My shade is exactly same shape as yours. Be rooting for me, I need all the help I can get! lol I'll send you a picture of it (if it turns out as good as I'm hoping for). Thanks for this video, couldn't have done it without you.
Sounds absolutely wonderful!
Oh my goodness. You just saved me a lot of money. Now I’m going to redo my vintage lamps at home. Thank you so so much for you amazing ideas! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome! You'll never toss another old lampshade again!
Fantastic! I have two old lampshades (circa 1960s?) that are badly in need of upcycling. This is great.
Glad you're inspired to make them over! That's awesome!
Excellent video. Easy to follow and straight to the point (no waffling!!! Lol) I have a large shade to cover and didn't know where to start, but now I do. Thankyou X
It's easier than it looks! Promise!
I was looking for new shades for a vintage crystal and brass wildwood table lamp and I found you....thanks...you just saved me alot of money!
You can add an extra layer for a lining (or do it in white first and then add the decorative fabric afterward if you want. Just a little tip between you and me!
Make sure to check out the blog for more detailed photos if you get a minute: MarkMontanoBlogs.blogspot.com
***** Thanks Mark! I will follow your blog!
This turned out really nice. Love the fabric and trim you used.
I love these shades so much! I have them all over my house!
I have a lamp shade that same size, and was gong to put some beads around it. But the way you showed how to put fabric around it was so easy. Now I can get mine done. Thank you so much for the video.
Glad it was helpful Crystal!
Loved your lampshade makeover.
Hello and good morning! I still do this to this day. I really don't like white lampshades and old lampshades are so much fun to recover!
Love your quick and easy lampshade cover with equally easy, precise instructions. Anxious to try my hand at use burlap.
Glad it was helpful! Burlap sounds great!
I absolutely loved this diy! I've looked for tutorials on how to recover lamp shades before and had no luck, and now I finally know how!!
Please do more furniture/home diy videos! They are amazing. !
I will be doing more furniture videos, I promise!
Great! Thank you!
Sending best regards from Ontario, Canada!
That's a gorgeous lamp, Mark. The thing is, I would have not picked that fabric, but when you started applying it on the frame, it suddenly became perfect for it. I absolutely love it.
It looks perfect in my house. I have a few of them actually!
Ripping everything apart so fun , the pattern is beautiful love it!
One of my most popular videos!
That's absolutely awesome!!! I never seen anything like it!!! Brilliant idea!!!
Thank you! I love making these!
I am glad you made this TH-cam video 9 yrs ago because it was so helpful!
Really glad it was helpful! *find me on Instagram for tons more videos. TheMarkMontano
@@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark I did!
I watch your video about lampshade and I am sold i couldn't walk away without subscribing a course thank you very much
Thank you so much Ann!
This method was PLANNED ahead not oversized pieces of fabric put on and then cut to size after! Easy to do and to follow instructions. Thank you.Jenny.
So happy you like this!
I was sitting by one of my lamps playing on my laptop when I noticed how much I needed a new lampshade. Well, instead of rushing out to purchase one I remembered you, Mark. So, here I am now watching this video and tomorrow I will be making my updated shade instead of buying one. Thank you Mark. Again, I love your videos.
Glad to hear it Anita! You can line this one, too if you just put white fabric on the lamp first and then add the decorative fabric. Cut it all out at the same time.
That glue gun! I live the fine tip.
I love your tutorials too. Thank you for this.
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
Beautiful, Mark, just beautiful!
Thanks Patricia!
This is amazing. THANK YOU for sharing this. Beautiful work.
I'm so glad you liked it Shelly! I hope you'll find me on Instagram, too! I'm here: instagram.com/themarkmontano/reels/
Awesome, I have an old antique lamp with a torn shade and can't find another shade like it. So I am super excited about using your method to re-create this beautiful lamp! Thanks for sharing!!!
You are the sweetest!
Mark your choice of fabric was great. You really inspired me to be creative. I can't wait to see what you will design next.
It was a happy accident! I found it in a 99c bin in downtown LA.
love this I find lampshades every where and buy them but can't figure out what to do with them. This is the best DIY I have ever seen. Thanks
I have an old Victorian lampshade that needs revamping if anyone has ideas please help. It's that ugly hunter green with brown fringe ( can you see my eyes roll) lol I think I'd still like the fringe or beads
You can line it, too. Just start with a layer of white first and then add the decorative fabric. Up to you
on my way to store for supplies!!! watching your videi inspired me to redo my old lamps!!!💓
Awesome! Love hearing that!
You are superb! You have really simplified this process.
It's easier than it looks! Promise!
TOO cute Mark
You have made a task I have REALLY been dreading look easy!!!
Once you makeover one lampshade you'll be making them for your whole house. They really do make a huge difference.
You're right! I do LOVE this! I have so many lamp shades I picked up thrift shopping. I can't wait to get them covered now. Thank you SO much!
Since watching this video, I've looked for items I could use for the fabric to cover the lamp shade with. I love the way yours turned out. I do like something different and yours definitely fit the bill. I found several items at my thrift store and I admit I didn't give items enough of a look see to use for shades, but what will change on my future thrift store jaunts. I will also check out the fabric stores as well. I bought a wonderful book on recovering lampshades, but your video is just outstanding. I will check out your book also. If your book has ideas like this, I can't go wrong. Another thing about your lampshade is that those lampshades are perfect for some of these vintage lamps that can be found. I am always on the lookout for those too. Some are quite valuable.
glad this was helpful!
Happy you like my projects! Makes my day!
I enjoyed this lamp shade make over.
Hey Leolo! If you need to line it just add some white or cream fabric to the inside first. Glad it was helpful. I hope you'll join me on Instagram! I'm TheMarkMontano
Thanks for such a great tutorial! A neighbor asked me to replace a lampshade and I was clueless, but it looks easy, albeit time-consuming and exacting. Learn something new every day!
You can totally do this!
Thanks so much Mark always wanted to do something with my old lampshade you're a great help saves a lot God bless u
It's easier than it looks! Promise!
And now you basically have a unique custom lamp shade... Nice! ♥
Yes, for sure! I did 3 lampshades in this fabric so they are all over my living room!
Got to love it. I have a bunch of wires that i took from a bunch of old broken lamps shades. Thanks for the ideas.
Dave Webster,Sr You got it! Just a reminder to press the little gear next to the SUBSCRIBE button and then press GET UPDATES so you won't miss my new videos, OK!
Fabulous Mark. Love the material. You rock!
Thank you so much!
Great fabric choice. This came out both pretty and interesting.
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
Thank you are the 1st person that actually showed removing the old fabric! I would like to cover some lampshades, It's easier but not wise. Patterns, textures, unsecured seams, and laying materials with adhesive spray can raise the risk of fire hazards. Patterns may show through, textured old shades make for an uneven and un-smooth application with adhertion issues that chould be complicated by loose seams and damaged facets. Removing it is just the best route to take 😉 Good job! And thank you 💝
You're so welcome. You can always use a white layer underneath, too. Just cut both at the same time.
We have a 10 bulb chandelier that we recently put LED bulbs in. The light it gives off is quite 'cold', so I thought I would need to buy all new chandelier shades in a red colour to warm it up! Now I can just make them! FAB!!! I am going fabric shopping now!
Glad to be of service!
This lampshade is really beautiful...good idea. Thanks,
You are welcome 😊 *find me on Instagram if you're there, too! I'm at @TheMarkMontano
Before I even watched the video, I clicked the thumbs up. Whenever I see your face, I know I won't be disappointed and...I was right. Thanks for sharing!
These are really fun to make!
Loved it... It's gonna bring new life into our house and our sad and drab shades will be happy again...
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
I am always on the look out for ratty things on the roadside!! I rarely have the ability to take stuff home but I'm always running a million craft ideas through my head over everything i see. haha
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
I just come on to your video,a very BEAUTIFULL lamp shade you put to gather,thank you,I will be watching you videos.
Glad to hear it Jane!
Love the combination of blue and a pop of gold!
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
You just saved me spending $$ on buying new lampshades - when I have the old ones sitting right here that I can revamp! So thank you!
Really happy you liked this! Thank you!
I watched at least ten lamp shade covering videos. Your video is wonderful. My kids say I am a hoarder. Actually I am a crafter who enjoys what I do. Now in addition to all the wreaths I have made and am giving away there will also be lamp shades. I will never pass a discarded one again. Thanks for making my day. Lots of love to you.
All crafters tend to hoard a bit! It's how we work!
At last an easy lesson with material that I have at home. Thanks
Still have these in my house!
I did the lampshade as you instructed and it looks amazing.. I'm so pleased with it.. thànk you..
I'm so damn proud of you! Once you make one, you'll start covering all of your shades even if they don't need it OR you'll find old shades on the street and give them makeovers! If you have a second, I'd love to know what you think of my latest DIY...A Van Gogh inspired mirror. th-cam.com/video/ehgUHam07Fk/w-d-xo.html
My best friend and I just made a lampshade following your video and it turned out amazing! I am now going to redo every lamp in my house lol!
OMG! I love hearing that! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Now I can't WAIT to find a lampshade on the side of the road! Hahaha gorgeous as always.
Thanks so much! I enjoy making these so much!
Wow this video was posted 7 years ago - yet forever useful information. My bedroom lamps needes new shades. I couldnt find shades that I liked - for months. I was about to get new lamps. Then I saw this video. I will recover my shades :) Thank you! :)
Honestly, it's the only way I'll put a lampshade in my house. I recover all of them to match the room.
Gorgeous transformation!
One of my favorite things to do with old lampshades!
This was a great redo lamp shade tutorial. Tfs hugs Letty
Hugs back Letty!
Thank you so much Mark! I have a lampshade that I have been saving for sometime. The silk lining is badly torn and the whole shade looks so tattered, but I love the shape of it. In fact, the shape of the shade is very much like yours. After seeing your instructional video I can hardly wait to buy just the right fabric, ribbon and trim to coordinate with it's vintage base. You are such an inspiration!
So happy you like it!
WOW ! awesome video ! and beautiful job............. I'm going to go and find a lonely lampshade !! Thank you.
All of the lampshades in my house are done like this.
Mark, Just came across this one and I love the fabric with all the details. Gorgeous and a definite statement piece. As always you Rock..and knock it out of the park. Thxs for sharing.
Got this fabric for 99c a yard at a local fabric store. It was an end piece and they were getting rid of it.
that is awesome Mark...
MARK...I'm a new subscriber!...U have just become the sunshine of my LIFE!!!!YASSSSSS!!!.❤❤❤❤
Well, thank you so much Nick! So happy you found me here!
I love those Paisley drapes!! and the peacockish lampshade!
That's my living room!
Super cool, looks a lot easier than what I was doing, and looks great
It is and you can line it with a white fabric if you want to. Just make the same pattern in white and apply it first. Check out my Patreon for all kinds of other ideas. www.patreon.com/MarkMontano
