How to Re-Cover a Lamp Shade with Cane.

[@tracysmith7272]

You can add a decorative band down the leading edge of your drapery panels to coordinate with your amazing lampshade! Love this tutorial ❤

yes!!!! that would be so pretty! great idea.

[@AChickandaDuck]

Gorgeous!! Next time I see a lamp with a really ugly shade in a thrift shop I’ll have to do this!

Make sure to watch until the end of the video because I give the BEST tip...which I wish I had done myself!

So glad I found this video, as I'm dying to cover a large shade in rattan! But, having trouble finding a large enough shade for my floor lamp. I need one that is 20" bottom, 13" top, and 12" High. Can you please recommend a source for large shades? Many thanks, and keep making your fantastic DIY videos!!!

[@MimzyandCompany]

I don’t have a good source. I bought mine at a hotel liquidator here in Tampa.

I would like to record my great admiration for these wonderful works of art. I am from Egypt, and my work is in papyrus, which is made of papyrus, the oldest paper in history. I love handicrafts, and I will try to make one out of papyrus.all my apprecition and respect for your wonderful art works

I love this so much. I just did a pleated lampshade and have to try this next.

[@MimzyandCompany]

Thanks Amber. I'm itching to do pleated lampshades... I have two in mind, just need to find the right fabric.

Great video. Thank you for posting it. Can you let me know where I can get the trim? And what is the trim called please?

[@MimzyandCompany]

I bought the trim at franks cane supply in California. They ship nationwide. It’s called spline.

Fun project. This one I will try. TY

[@MimzyandCompany]

Thanks! I'm about to do another cane/lampshade project for my own dining table...stay tuned.

If you get weird looks because of your pineapples know everyone thinks you are swingers 😂

[@MimzyandCompany]

Is a pineapple a symbol of being a swinger?!?!?!

[@jenniferstephens4982]

this is fantastic! did you use the fine or medium radio weave cane? also bleached or unbleached?

[@MimzyandCompany]

Thank you Jennifer! I used medium, Unbleached.

[@jencybonham5939]

Hi! Could you use spray adhesive instead of hot glue?

[@MimzyandCompany]

Hi Jency!!! You can use spray adhesive for fabric but not for cane webbing because the cane is too stiff and it rolls up unless the glue has instant holding power. I tried it...and I also tried using gorilla glue but only hot glue holds the cane. How are you???

[@jencybonham5939]

mimzy & company I’m doing great…just to clarify…this is Jency the daughter😀. But mom is doing well also! That totally makes sense with the cane. I have a couple lamps I still want to use but would love to add some texture to the shades. I would love seagrass but don’t really want to pay the money that they seem to cost and thought this really looks like it could add the texture also. Thanks for the quick reply and hope you and all of yours are well too!

[@MimzyandCompany]

@@jencybonham5939 Ah! Well tell your mom and dad Hi. You could use burlap fabric with spray adhesive...I've seen that and it looks very much like cane.

[@jencybonham5939]

mimzy & company that’s a great idea! Thanks so much. Appreciate your videos…maybe I will try the sofa slipcover one of these days!

[@quepasa1254]

@@jencybonham5939 I would love to try a slipcover too, but his lampshade looks more approachable!

[@tracysmith7272]

How do youknow the way to curve

[@MimzyandCompany]

mmmm....I just followed the shade. i think
