Creative Ways to Reinvent a Lampshade

Give ordinary lampshades a lift with easy add-ons that take less than an hour.

Wrap It with Ribbon

Ribbon wrapped around a plain paper shade creates the look of pleated silk. To keep this project affordable, we hit the clearance bin and found four 8-yard ribbon spools for $2.45 each. Use fabric tape to secure a ribbon end (and subsequent ends) to the inside of the shade. Wind ribbon around the shade, overlapping more at the top than at the bottom if using a tapered shade.
