DIRECTIONS: |
1. Cut 13 yards of ribbon in half (two 6 1/2 yard pieces). Roll up so you can easily wrap from top to bottom smoothly.
2. Starting at the top of the frame, fold 1/2" end of ribbon over the frame and secure by gluing or stitching to itself.
3. Holding frame securely, wrap ribbon tightly from the top down the inside of the frame =, around and back up the outside of the frame to the top in one direction. (as smoothly as possible) so that the ribbon overlaps itself evenly.
If you are using a ribbon that is shaded (ombre), you must turn the ribbon when you are in the inside of the frame each time you come down. By doing this, you will change the color of the hues. If you do not turn the ribbon, the color will be all one shade. If you want a solid look, do not turn the ribbon as you are wrapping.
4. At the end of the ribbon, come down the inside and glue or stitch the ribbon end to itself.
5. Complete lampshade with rest of the ribbon; beginning at the top, fold over and glue to secure, completely covering the rest of the frame. When the frame is covered, end inside the frame, fastening with pin to keep taut. cut excess ribbon and glue or stitch to itself.

1. Cover corners: Cut six 6" lengths of ribbon. Cover corners first. Place each strip on frame corners, leaving extra 3/4" - 1" at top and bottom. Crease ribbon along frame, folding to inside. Trim excess ribbon, leaving enough to cover frame, and glue.
2. Cover frame: Cut six 6" lengths of ribbon. Trom off top corners only. Place ribbon over opening, fitting carefully between covered corners to cover. Fold 1/2" over frame, always folding to the inside, crease, trim, and glue top. do the samewith the bottom. Do all six openings.
3. Decorate edge with contrasting ribbon.
ADDITIONAL IDEAS
1. Punch holes in a paper shade and tread ribbon in and out. Add a shoestring bow.
2.Glue strips of ribbons to a cloth or paper lampshade to accent a children's room. We've used our fun, bright Crayola ribbons here and added a bow as a finishing touch. The selection of Offray and Lion ribbons allow you to create endless possibilities.
