Home projects are always satisfying and there’s lots of simple lampshade tutorials to produce your own shades for your home. Choose the fabric, colours and style to suit your interior. 

A great method is to use the DIY kits available to buy that allow you to make a drum shade. These kits are available on line from various stores including Ebay and Amazon

The tutorials are straight forward and can allow you to create various sizes of shade. They can also inspire you on fabrics to use. Always ensure you’ve tested your fabric by holding it up to the light to ensure the light can filter through.
