I will be giving away an autographed copy of my Lampshade Lady Book just in time for Valentines Day. I want to hear your worst lampshade nightmares. How many times have you bought the wrong size, the wrong color. How much duck tape is holding your lampshade together.  Click on the link to get  my email;  email me  your stories. How many times did you have to go back to the Lighting Store??? Or send it back to Pottery Barn??? or Etsy??

My lampshade nightmare was when I tried to glue beaded ribbon onto the bottom of the shade. I used fabric glue and followed the instructions but it wouldn't hold no matter what I tried. I ended up with glue stains all along the shade.

oh no, that's trouble.

I would suggest you try using a glue gun for trim that doesn't hold with quick glue. That'll do the trick. I'll add you to the book give away.
thanks,
hope that helps.

Thank you for the advice. I do have a glue gun but never thought to use it for that project.
