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.

DIMENSIONS
Most popular sizes are listed. 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When checking out, please include three things in the Special Instructions box at checkout.
- The HARDWARE DROP height*
- Whether the hardware will be on the TOP or the BOTTOM of the shade (most often, for pendant lights the fitter is at the top, and for table lamps the fitter is at the bottom)
- (Optional) If you need an UNO FITTER or a nonstandard EURO FITTER SIZE**
*The HARDWARE DROP is how deep the hardware is recessed into the shade as measured from the edge of the shade. It is most commonly between 0"-3", but unlike spider rings, there is no standard height. Every shade can be different as it was designed to compliment the needs of its specific lamp. If you choose the wrong drop height, your shade will not sit at the correct height on the lamp.
For more information about measuring the drop on your current lamp shade, please visit my Drop Height blog post.
**EURO FITTERS are available in three sizes. The most common is the middle size, but there are also small and large euro fitters available. If you aren't sure which size is right for your lamp, here's how to check.

PRO TIP FOR LIGHT BULBS
For optimal performance, choose your bulb based on your shade size and not on what your lamp base can handle.
LEDs emit less heat than incandescent bulbs, but heat output is not the only thing that affects the well-being of your shade. Lumen output can affect how quickly a shade yellows with time.
'Wattage' is the measurement of energy used, and 'lumens' are the measurement of light output. The light bulb's lumen output is how we determine wattage equivalents. For example, a 60W incandescent light bulb and a 60W equivalent LED light bulb use different wattage but both give off a minimum of 800 lumens of light. Lumen output can affect a lampshade over time, and the higher the light bulb wattage/lumen output, the larger shade you should use.
The smaller the shade, the nearer it is to the light bulb, so I recommend not using more than a 40W equivalent on a 9 in. diameter shade.
