How to Make Victorian Lampshades | DIY Victorian Lampshade Set

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

Thank you so much for watching 🖤 What color would your dream victorian lampshade be?

[@chadwyckoff2229]

I'd love to have oak moss and olive green Victorian lampshades with black fringe. Yours turned out amazing!

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

@@chadwyckoff2229 That sounds so beautiful 🖤

[@ShannaFae2023]

Olive, rust, black and some touches of gold. Adult classy Halloween vibe.

[@robinsiciliano8923]

Shades of purples.

[@marti4689]

Too many to decide. A burgundy (touch of magenta at very top) ombre to navy/black (having a bit of purple in the overlap). Burgundy with bronze and brown accents, for a medieval look. A lavender and periwinkle, with crystal beading. A million others... with ombre (always beginning at the top with a color that glows nicely when light shines through) 😘 and overlays & accents in unexpected colors. Lots of magenta, reds and purples though. So many ideas, so little time. 🙃🤣🤣 💚

Stunning! Breathtaking! Perfection! You amaze me. Thank you for sharing this.

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

Aww thank you, you're too kind 🖤

[@mannagrynet]

My grandma used to have a lampshade store, where she made lampshades just like this one (as well as modern ones). She actually used fabric glue for big parts of the seam binding to prevent it from slipping, which can happen with newer lampshade frames. I got similar shaped shades at home, but turned the other way so they look like flowers, but this is actually so pretty I might have to remake them!

[@maryfierle7835]

Thank you! Can't wait to give this a try. I need craft therapy right now.

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

Please do, it’s such a fun and relaxing kind of make 🖤

Stunning work! You and Christine Mcconnell are creative sorceresses❤

[@sarahmeyer845]

I watch a lot of tutorials on you tube and your's is by far the most beautiful video I've seen, I enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed learning the process. Usually I just speed up the tutorial until I get to the part I want to learn about but I watched the whole thing, normal speed, start to finish and learned so much. Beautiful filming and editing skills.

[@araneljones]

This is absolutely incredible! Beyond beautiful and your method is easily followed. My only, only nitpick, obviously offered without your asking, is that your background music is a tiny bit too loud. It conflicts with your voice at some points. I know this is an editing issue, and I personally like hearing critiques I can correct. It might just be my hearing, too! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. ❤

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

Thank you so much 🖤 I love constructive criticism so no worries, thanks for letting me know I'll definitely keep this in mind for the future

[@americanhumaninterferencet7550]

Your work is lovely and you're so creative! Watching this made me realize creating my own vintage style lampshade is much more doable than I thought it would be, maybe I'll start my own project soon

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

It absolutely is, have fun 🖤

[@salemgraves1692]

Wow!!!! those are phenomenal!!!!! You have quickly become one of my favorite youtubers who DIY. everything you create, you can tell you put your all into it. The perfectionism comes across in everything you do!!!! and its always gorgeous 😍😍

[@TS-bj6qe]

Wow! It looks like a Victorian owl shade.

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

Thank you so much 🖤

[@moonbasket]

The rosettes are so cool!! I'm obsessed. I would love a shade like this in dark green. Green is my favorite color.

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

So happy you enjoyed, that would look so lovely 🖤

[@mariasmith9998]

Wow those lamp shades are beautiful. You did a fantastic job. Thank you for sharing this video. I will give it a try. Hope you have a great day.

[@calyforniaa]

Hi Nasya! Great video & can't believe I was searching for a tutorial on the exact day you posted this! Do you have any tips on which fabrics are best to use for this kind of a project? In terms of opacity for light shining through, ease of stitching, safety with lightbulbs etc?

[@roxangel6271]

You're Amazing!! You have crazy talent! These are soooo gorgeous! 🖤🤎

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

[@marti4689]

Awesome video and information, thank you!! Regarding synthetics and dying fringe. I'm confused. You were dying the fringe with the fabric dye, but isn't chainette fringe always polyester? (I've looked for other fibers, and didn't find them). Is there something about the chainette weaving that allows other dyes? Thank you in advance!! 🤞🤞👍🙏🙏. I hope 🤞🤞🤞you're still getting comment notifications. I can't wait to try some lampshades and dying, myself!! Your video is inspiring!

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

I used a rayon chainette fringe and since it's semi-synthetic it definitely did not take dye as natural fibers do but much better than full polyester. The place I bought it from no longer does online orders but I believe Mary Maxwell has rayon fringe in her shop lampshadelady.com 🖤

[@leaf3922]

Oh my gosh! this is amazing, so happy i found your channel, i’ve been wanting to do this for a while but not sure where to start 🥰

What kind of fabric is the lining? And do you recommend satin for the base color?

[@honeydewmilktea9825]

I loved your first vintage shade video and this one is just incredible, too!! You’ve inspired me to try it out but I’m not sure what fabric to use for the base. I’ve tested different ones, including cotton but you can always see the light bulb through it which is so frustrating ahh. What fabric did you use for the base?

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

Thank you so much 🖤 Silk has been used since the Victorian era and holds up well to heat. I would recommend doubling or even tripling up layers of fabric for each section. I use at least two and with thinner fabrics that often does the trick to make it less transparent. With one layer of the fabric I used you could see straight through to the light bulb too but with multiple layers and then a chiffon/lace on top you can't see it at all. Have fun!

[@funkypunkypine]

These are soooo beautiful! Very inspiring 😍

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

Absolutely Beautiful 🖤

[@Lolieif]

Ah, finally a sign to finish the half finished lampshade I’m in the middle of… 😅

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

Ah how fun! What does yours look like?

[@Lolieif]

@@NasyaAcostaSmith well, other than half finished 😂, it’s a interesting (and massive) scalloped bell style with a gallery along the bottom rim. It’s much narrower at the top than the bottom. The diameter of the bottom is 25 inches, but the top is only about 7, and it curves quite a bit between the two. I’ve recovered it with a deep burgundy fabric, and while I initially got black trim, I’m wondering if it would look better with a different color. I made the mistake of sewing the trim on instead of using fabric glue, which took ages longer, but would mean I could change out the trim much easier… I’ve currently been stalled on it because I don’t want to undo all that work, but I also don’t love how it’s looking yet.

[@InspectorDee]

What fabrics have you used?

[@NasyaAcostaSmith]

I like using silks it’s what’s been used in a lot of Victorian lampshade making for years 🖤
