Let There be Light - A Guide to Making and Decorating Lamp Shades in the Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781447413394)

"Let There be Light" is a vintage guide to designing, making, and decorating lampshades. An often neglected opportunity for money-saving and self-expression, the lampshade can be a practical centrepiece of any room. This step-by-step guide walks the reader through every step of the process, making it suitable for DIY novices and hand-crafting veterans alike. Contents include: "Fabric or Paper", "Color Hints", "Simple Shapes Best", "Paste-on Trims", "Sew-on Trims", "Cutting the Round Shade", "Cutting the Square or Oblong Shade", "Cutting Fluted Shades", "Attaching to the Frame", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on making lampshades.
