Our kits connect with UK/European lampholders/pendant fittings and USA harp and finial fittings For best results, flatten the PVC panel with something heavy a few hours prior to starting – make sure not to crease! Step 1 – Attach the panel & fabric Flatten the sticky panel onto the fabric and peel away the edges of the kiss cut panel and place the fabric on top, removing creases. Then cut away any excess fabric. Step 2 – Cover epoxy rings with adhesive Using the centre of the red tape, cover both the rings in tape and push the tape around and behind firmly, then unravel the red backing. Step 3 – Roll & attach fabric & rings Carefully rotate the rings together equally at the same time, making sure they are tight and firm against the fabric, as close to the edges as possible. When folded, gently push using your fingers without using too much pressure Step 4 – Tuck in fabric for smooth finish Using the finisher tool, fold over any excess fabric so it overlaps over the wire and allow the adhesive to set. When the panel makes a ‘click’ during this point that’s a good sign!

Good quality and the finished product looks great ! I ve bought several more since completing my first lampshade Review: Makes a lovely lampshade - This is a well thought through kit, with excellent instructions. There is also a video but I didn't view this and I wish I had. It's all quite precise to make and there are several 'Gotcha' points in the construction which you need to get spot on or you could ruin the kit, and your day. The first is to choose your material wisely. I didn't and chose one with almost an embroidered pattern in places. This caused two problems. It frayed badly when cut (and I used a new blade) and it was too bulky to tuck under the rim, the final part of the process. So the end result, whilst OK, is a bit wragged. The second is to iron the material to get rid of creases and take great care attaching it to the backing material. Any creases at this stage will be very difficult to get out. Also get help when offering the cover up to the two hoops. It makes a world of difference to trying to do it all on your own. All this, of course, is clearly indicated in the excellent and methodical instructions. So it's worth reading them once, twice, three times before you cut or stick anything! The temptation is to just crack on. I did find the provided plastic tool to push the material under the rim very flimsy and a bit useless, but it would probably have been OK should I have chosen a thinner material. My three takeaways would be: Chose your material with construction of the lamp, as well as pattern in mind. Read and digest the instructions carefully. And then do this stage again. And finally, where it suggests you get the help of a friend, do it! ## Features - A LAMPSHADE HANDMADE BY YOU: Make a 20cm shade to match décor in any room. Looking to create a unique lamp on your desk table or by your bookshelf? Searching for a gift that is personal and homemade yet of the utmost quality? Our UK-made DIY lampshade boxes have everything you need to make your lampshade other than the fabric. Find some fantastic fabrics or wallpaper for your lamp to match or enhance your furniture, cushions and home décor. Ideal for beginner crafters and professional crafters. - EASY TO USE & WITH SIMPLE STEP INSTRUCTIONS: Create a beautiful shade in less time than it takes to go to the shop. Cut your fabric or wallpaper to size and peel the self-adhesive lampshade panel onto the fabric. Then with the strong self-adhesive tape, tack the wire and panel together. Use the tucking tool to fold excess fabric under to complete your lampshade. Simple step by step instructions with pictures are included in the packaging but you can also check out our tutorial videos. - SMART COVER PANEL PREVENTS FABRIC FADE: The fire-resistant PVC panel that backs your fabric has been specially engineered and rigorously tested as a backing for fabric lamps so it will make any fabric added to the panel fire-resistant. The self-adhesive lampshade panel is also anti-static, so it repels dust and anti-yellowing, meaning the light of the bulb won’t affect the vibrancy of your materials used to cover the lampshade. - WORKS WITH UK, EUROPEAN & US FITTINGS: What type of lamp holders will fit this lampshade? Our kits work with UK/European lamp holders or pendant fittings. Our shallow drum lampshade kits fit with standard harp and finial fittings, so they work with most bulbs and bases using the adapter and converter plugs included. When assembled, this lampshade is 20cm in diameter and stands 18cm tall. Already ground-breaking across Europe, our Lampshade Making Kits inspire both imagination and inventiveness. - MADE IN THE UK: Making lampshade creators happy for over 50 years. Our kits have been engineered for quality and are used by professional tradespeople in the soft furnishing industry worldwide. With FAQs as well as ‘how-to’ videos online that can guide you, we also have a strong community of makers all over the world. They support each other in the creative process throughout making lampshades. Our kits are popular with schools, colleges and craft making workshops. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00A2L4YQS | | Base Width | 20 Centimetres | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,016 in Lighting ( See Top 100 in Lighting ) 62 in Lamp Shades | | Brand | Needcraft | | Colour | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 617 Reviews | | Finish | Texture | | Included Components | Lampshade rings, assembly instructions, lampshade film, double-sided tape, finishing tool | | Is Assembly Required? | Yes | | Item Dimensions W x H | 20W x 18H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Lamp Shade | | Item Weight | 285 Grams | | Manufacturer | Dannells Ltd | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 12 months manufacturer warranty applys to the materials from date of purchase. | | Material | You supply the covering and stick it to the Self Adhesive panel in the kit | | Model Number | LS020 | | Mounting Type | Freestanding | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | lmk20cmdrum | | Pattern | Solid | | Product dimensions | 20W x 18H centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Floor Lamp Shade, Table Lamp Shade, Pendant Ceiling Light Shade | | Shade Material | Textile | | Shape | Conical | | Size | 20 cm x 18 cm | | Special Features | Texture | | Special feature | Texture | | Style | 20cm Drum Lampshade | | Top Width | 645 Millimetres | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Needcraft - **Colour:** White - **Finish type:** Texture - **Material:** You supply the covering and stick it to the Self Adhesive panel in the kit - **Mounting type:** Freestanding - **Pattern:** Solid - **Product dimensions:** 20W x 18H centimetres - **Shape:** Cylindrical - **Special feature:** Texture - **Style:** 20cm Drum Lampshade ## Images ![20cm Lampshade Making Kit use with Pendant Ceiling Lights and Table and Floor Lamp, Drum Circle Shape Needcraft UK DIY use with Fabric, Textile, Wallpaper of Choice. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81enpbgyVUL.jpg) ![20cm Lampshade Making Kit use with Pendant Ceiling Lights and Table and Floor Lamp, Drum Circle Shape Needcraft UK DIY use with Fabric, Textile, Wallpaper of Choice. - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tfPwBtvBS.jpg) ![20cm Lampshade Making Kit use with Pendant Ceiling Lights and Table and Floor Lamp, Drum Circle Shape Needcraft UK DIY use with Fabric, Textile, Wallpaper of Choice. - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ow3425zpL.jpg) ![20cm Lampshade Making Kit use with Pendant Ceiling Lights and Table and Floor Lamp, Drum Circle Shape Needcraft UK DIY use with Fabric, Textile, Wallpaper of Choice. - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VaRMD7hmS.jpg) ![20cm Lampshade Making Kit use with Pendant Ceiling Lights and Table and Floor Lamp, Drum Circle Shape Needcraft UK DIY use with Fabric, Textile, Wallpaper of Choice. - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615fqzONoKS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: In terms of fire hazards, is the self adhesive lampshade panel heat resistant? Or do you need to use fire retardant fabric etc** A: says on the packaging you can use any fabric. I used painted silk and have had no problems light has been on about 3 hours at a time so far **Q: Can paper be used?** A: Hi there. Yes, it can, but you have to change the way you make the shade. You need to tear the strips off the self adhesive panel first. Then stick your wallpaper to the panel. Trim the wallpaper so there is a 12mm overhang over the panel at the top and bottom. This overlap is what you roll around the rim of the lampshade ring. Then you can trim off any excess with a sharp knife.Hope that helps.Needcraft Team **Q: How much material do you need?** A: Hi Joanne,Thanks for your enquiry. Your covering needs to be 645mm wide x 220 mm to cover the self adhesive panel supplied Kind regardsJamieNeedcraft **Q: Why is this priced at £8.99 on search results then £10.49 when I click through to it? Isn’t this misleading under trades descriptions act?** A: Is the sizes different? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Watch the video and follow the instructions for a great finish *by R***D on 23 March 2026* A really easy to use kit .
