Cover old lamp shapes without glue or sewing, simply take fabric and cut into strips approximately two inches wide and knot each strip together. Begin wrapping shade from top to bottom until entire shade is covered. Finish by knotting beginning strip and end strips together.
Heavy cotton fabrics work best. Just make sure that your bulb wattage is low enough and that you trim the fabric on the inside of shade so that fabric does not come in contact with bulb.
