Customized Lampshade

lampshade

Here’s a great tutorial from Cicada Studio.  I’ve mentioned her fabric designs before, but wanted to share this quick and easy project for how to cover an IKEA lamp.  The square shape makes it much easier!  More IKEA ideas at IKEA Hacker.  I found the link for this project via Apartment Therapy.

And check out the contest sponsored by Apartment Therapy and Etsy:  Do It Now!  The Small Projects DIY Month.  Some inspirational projects posted already.  And a $250 gift certificate to Etsy?  You’d better get to it.  I particularly like this project (pictured below) from Aya Rosen on how to decorate a tea set.  Lovely!

  1. i was JUST about to sell my ikea lamp on craigslist but i think after seeing the lampshade tutorial, i’ll keep it and try out the lampshade! thanks for sharing!

  2. I didn’t even know it was possible to have an Etsy gift certificate!! Not to one specific store, but to Etsy in general? Am I dreaming???
