About this title

Synopsis

Light and paper are an extraordinary combination for crafters. Here are fifteen foolproof projects that bring them together - with stylish effect. Unlike other paper shade books, this one emphasizes contemporary looks with projects for lampshades, candle shades, chandeliers, sconces, and window treatments. Easy instructions are included for making shades in a variety of papers including marbled, vellum, handmade papers, corrugated, recycled, Japanese papers, and exotic fiber papers. Also included are templates, patterns, and techniques for piercing, folding, pleating, and other decorative methods that affect the way the light shines through the paper.
