To make a Vintage Flour Sack Kitchen Towel lampshade you will need:

Fabric Lamp Shade

Vintage Flour Sack Kitchen Towel Scissors

Ribbon

Glue

The first step is to completely remove all of the fabric from your damaged or existing lampshade. Start by poking some scissors through the fabric, then cut away. Once you have the body of the fabric removed then start working on the material wrapped onto he wires. This will take some time, but is a great way to save a little money and salvage and exiting lampshade.

Tip: If you don't have a damaged or existing lampshade you want to get rid of you can buy these wire frames of a lampshade at any arts and craft store.

Now, the first step is to lay out your plain paper. Roll it out on your dining room table.

Now, lay your wire lampshade wire frame on its side starting near the end of the paper.

Take your pencil and gently trace a line along the top edge of the wire frame as your roll it along the plain paper.

When you have made one whole turn of the circle then start over back at the same edge, but this time trace the bottom edge of the lampshade frame.

Repeat the tracing pattern. Now, this time you need to make sure you roll the lampshade along that first line you traced on the paper.

Cut this out and this will be the pattern for your Vintage Flour Sack Kitchen Towel lampshade.

Now, set your lampshade aside.

Trace the hand drawn design on to the Vintage Flour Sack Kitchen Towel fabric with a pencil or marker.

Remove the paper and Cut out your Vintage Flour Sack Kitchen Towel lampshade. I like to open up the Linen and lay it out flat. You can cut it open to reveal quite a bit of fabric.
