Very easy and she explains it perfectly. Lampshades are stupidly expensive in lamp stores.
yes, they are. and this is sooooo simple!
Great tutorial! Thank you for an easier way to make a pleated shade! Your directions were very easy to follow and the lamp shade looks great in your dining room!!
Thank you so much!
This is the best tutorial I've seen so far and I've seen a lot!! Thank you for this wonderful video! :)
Yay! That’s great to hear! Thank you so much Jessica!
Details make all the difference! Your shade looks great. Thanks for sharing.

I subscribed after watching the first video because of how well you explained what you do. Keep those videos coming please. Lamp shade turned out lovely
So glad I found this! Don’t know why I didn’t think to do it this way but I’m fixing to get busy on one! Thanks a bunch!😊

I love it
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you Cynthia!
Thank you so much. I am refurbish and refreshing my living room after many years ❤ on a budget, I am a quilter so I have tons of fabric.
If you’re making a pleated lampshade then I’m sure it will be cute!
If I was your neighbor I would give you a big hug. Like you said,very easy and beautiful and beginner friendly. You cover it all, thank you so much for sharing.
I had to subscribe 🎉🎉🎉🎉
you're sweet. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this technique. I'm really pleased with the results I got. Can't figure out how to show you a photo lol
I have watched a few of these in the last couple of days and I love your video the best. Yours looks the most professional and custom like you said. Thank you for posting this video
Oh good! Thank you for telling me Ramon!
It sooooo much easier if you put the lampshade on something bigger like a paint can…..or a butter churn….it won’t jiggle so much…..you give great directions
Yes. You’re right . It took me a minute but I figured that out. 😜
Excellent tutorial. Like everyone I have pieces in my stash that someday...and I have found that with your video. Thanks for sharing.
so much fabric so little time...😄
Thank you so beautiful!
Thanks Margaret!
soooooo helpful... I am gonna revamp a white old ugly shade I have with fabric
I’m getting ready to use your video to cover to new lampshades. Thanks for this tutorial!
Your welcome! I’m about do some more myself! I’m excited about this technique.
That turned out just beautiful, I love, love, love that fabric! You sure are good at explaining how to do things and I have been wanting to learn how to do this and have watched several videos but they always involved sewing, which unfortunately I never learned to do. Thank you!
I'm so glad this helped. I tried all kinds of ways to do this and this method is def the easiest and neatest in my opinion. everything else looks so DIY. Thank you so much for commenting.
Love the shade beautiful.
Thank you!!
You are quality! It looks modern and perfect. Great fabric and work.

I love it . Great tutorial.
Thank you Catherine!
Love it’
Thank you Jessica!
Best tutorial I have ever seen for this! Thank you!!!! May I ask, what if my lampshade is tapered slightly (smaller diameter at top than bottom)?
Thank you!!! you just have spread the fabric strips farther at the bottom and closer at the top.
Very nice
Thank you Angela!
Fantastic video you have inspired me to do this, one question what was the thing you used to make the edging strip you pulled it through something ive never seen before ?
Thank you. It’s called a bias tape maker.
Hi. I watched your video and agree that it's the best one. So, I made my first shade today for a small lamp. The only thing I didn't like was the finish at the top. I put the band around the top no problem. But I could see where I cut the fabric at the top of the shade. I would like a more finished look. Is there an additional step that could be added to cover that? I would like to make more, but I need a solution for this. Thanks. Greetings from the great state of Georgia!
Thank you. I think you could make the binding a little bigger and then open it up to enclose the top.
Great tutorial! Very easy to follow on how to make the pleats for a lampshade. I'm just wondering, what tool did you use when making the trim for the top and bottom?
thank you. I used a binding maker. I have a link for it in the description.
12:42 Thanks for your video!! I'm wondering if it would create a clean look to "sandwich" the shade inbetween both sides of the bias tape? So one side of it goes inside the lamp shade. Is there a disadvantage to doing that?
No, no disadvantage other than it's more work. It would probably look very nice.
Super cute project. Unsure about that fabric. What does it look like illuminated?
good question! I should have posted it at night lit up...I love it! It looks really pretty illuminated.
I'll post a pic somewhere...
What was that little metal gizmo you used to fold the top/bottom trim over on itself before ironing ?
@@eileenm1402 It's a bias tape maker. here's a link... amzn.to/44zStMC
@@MimzyandCompany Thank you, that was so thoughtful of of you !
👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
I subscribed just because you DO go over all the details. So many DIY video's completely skip showing or explaining all the steps and it's frustrating.
Thank you!
If you painted that big picture yourself…the. I would add some of the pinkish coral that is in the shade to,your painting
Hmmm. I could do that.
What do you do if the lamp shade is all broken. Can you do this with just the wire of the shade?
only if the shade has ribs that go between the top and bottom hoops. know what i mean? a lot of shades don't have these.
Will this method work with all shapes of lampshade?
Yes. But if you have a bell shaped shade it’ll end up flat. And if you have a square or rectangle you may need to cut 4 pieces wider to go around the corners.
I forgot to as you the last time i messaged you, how do you calculate how many strips you need if you want to do what you are doing in this video 🤔
that's a good question. I just guessed at this attempt. But after doing this project I know that it took about 1/2 yard of decorator fabric(54" wide). Depends upon the size of the shade though...I'm about to do a few more shades...I'll let you know.
