DIMENSIONS
Sizes available with diameters from 5 inches to 10 inches and heights from 5 inches to 18 inches.
Due to the size of the paper sheets used to create these shades, I'm not currently able to make lamp shades with this paper that are wider than 10 inches in diameter.

I have always been fascinated by paper lamp shades. The glow when a paper lamp shade is lit is so warm and inviting! I've been making lamp shades for over ten years, and I only recently felt confident enough in my skills to attempt to make a paper lamp shade with a wrapped edge.
Most paper lamp shades use a taped edge or are made of strips of paper. I wanted to challenge myself to make a modern version of a paper lamp shade with a tightly wrapped, clean edge, just like my fabric lamp shades. It takes a lot of patience and precision, but I am happy with how these shades have turned out, and I hope that they bring a little warmth and joy to your room.
Pro Tip: For optimal performance, choose your bulb based on your shade size and not on what your lamp base can handle.
While LEDs emit less heat than the old incandescent bulbs, heat output is not the only thing that affects the well-being of your shade. Lumen output can still have an affect on how quickly a shade yellows with time. A larger shade can handle a higher wattage (or lumen output) bulb, and a smaller shade can handle a lower wattage bulb
Lumen output is how we determine wattage equivalents. A 60W incandescent light bulb that uses 60 watts of power gives off a minimum of 800 lumens of light. A 60W equivalent LED light bulb also gives off a minimum of 800 lumens. This lumen output can still affect a lampshade over time, even if we don't see any immediate damage being done and it never gets warm. I recommend not using more than a 40W equivalent on a 9 in. diameter shade.
