Get Lampshade Making!

Get Lampshade Making!

If you’ve ever looked at a favourite fabric off-cut or a beloved dress you can’t quite part with and wondered what else it could become, lampshade making might be your perfect creative escape. At Haines Collection, we are passionate about saving every small piece of textiles and repurposing it into something beautiful and long-lasting. Nothing makes us happier than helping people transform leftover fabric into stylish home décor-while reducing waste at the same time.

Whether you’re new to crafting or already love DIY home projects, making your own lampshade is much easier than you think. We recommend you shopping at Dannells.com and purchasing a lampshade making kit, our favourite place to start is a 30cm drum lampshade kit. 

Take a look at our instructions below that give you a few extra hints and tips to make your lampshade extra beautiful! But don't worry, your kit will come with instructions too!
