63 - Making Lampshades for our Kitchen | French Farmhouse Update

Bonjour and welcome back to the farmhouse. In today’s video I am taking you along as I create custom lampshades and electrified suspensions for our kitchen, which is currently being gently updated. I share the full process of making lampshades from scratch using polyphane, hand-marbled paper and a simple metal frame. In the description you will also find the measurements and pattern instructions so you can create your own template at home. This small project has been such a joyful way to add character to the kitchen while using beautiful materials. Thank you so much for being here and for sharing these quiet moments with me.

Draw the base line On thick paper, draw a horizontal line at the bottom left of the sheet and label it XY. 2. Draw the height line Measure 20 cm (7.9 in) above line XY — this is the height of the lampshade. (Adjust the measurements according to the size of your metal rings.) Draw a parallel line and label it VW. 3. Mark the bottom diameter On line XY, mark points A and B 30 cm (11.8 in) apart. (This corresponds to the diameter of the lower ring, adjust the measurements according to the size of your metal rings.) Mark H at the midpoint of segment AB. 4. Draw the central axis From point H, draw a perpendicular line upward (as long as possible). Label this line HJ. Mark I at the intersection between HJ and line VW. 5. Mark the top diameter On line VW, mark points C and D 7.5 cm (3 in) on each side of I. Segment CD corresponds to the diameter of the upper ring. (Adjust the measurements according to the size of your metal rings.) 6. Draw the side lines Draw a line from A to C and another from B to D. Extend them until they intersect line HJ at point K. 7. Draw the arcs From point K, draw: an arc with radius KC, passing through D an arc with radius KA, passing through B 8. Calculate the angle α Calculate the angle α (alpha), which corresponds to the development of the base circle of the lampshade, using the following formula: α = (AH ÷ KA) × 360 9. Measure the angle Place your protractor along line AK. From point K, measure the angle α and mark the point L. 10. Define the pattern edges Draw a line from K to L and extend it until it intersects: the upper arc at point M the lower arc at point N Then connect M to N. 11. Add the seam allowance For the seam overlap, extend 3 cm (1.2 in) beyond M and N to create M' and N'. Connect M' to N'. 12. Mark the orientation Write “inside face” on the template to identify the correct side of the lampshade. Also place a ★ mark on the left side of the pattern to indicate the part that will sit inside the overlap seam. 13. Cut and test Cut out the pattern with scissors.Test it on your metal rings, securing it temporarily with clips or clamps.   📌 Tip: Always test the paper pattern on your frame before cutting your fabric or lampshade material.
