Average Customer Ratings:
Light and paper are an extraordinary combination for crafters. Here are fifteen foolproof projects that bring them together - with stylish effect. Unlike other paper shade books, this one emphasizes contemporary looks with projects for lampshades, candle shades, chandeliers, sconces, and window treatments. Easy instructions are included for making shades in a variety of papers including marbled, vellum, handmade papers, corrugated, recycled, Japanese papers, and exotic fiber papers. Also included are templates, patterns, and techniques for piercing, folding, pleating, and other decorative methods that affect the way the light shines through the paper.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great varitey, shades are easy & inexpensive to make -
This is a wonderful book for anyone who wants to make impressive looking lampshades without spending a fortune. With styles ranging from classic to modern, elegant to wacky, they are exciting and fun to make, and much more interesting than store-bought.
The book starts out covering all the basics such as fixture selection, measuring, and gluing. Choosing paper and creating surface effects along with crafting & trimming a basic shade are also included. Each shade design includes a complete materials list and step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions accompanied by helpful photos. A large picture of the finished project is also included.
Over 20 projects cover a variety of shapes such as square, conical, and fluted. They also use a wide range of materials including vellum, twisted craft paper, unryu paper, and papyrus. Most of the materials are easy to find. Some of my favorite projects include a double-decker marbled lampshade, basket weave shade, Japanese lantern and musical script coolie.
In the back there are templates with exact enlargement requirements for all the shades. A nice list of suppliers is also included. This would make a very nice housewarming gift for someone into crafts.
