Use material to trace that won’t goes through the fabric like tailor’s chalk or a pencil. Watch with a straight edge, you have to add ½ inch for seam allowance all the way around the pattern. Then cut the fabric around the outer-most mark.
- Then set the fabric you’re about to use on your table right side down, and lay the lampshade frame for your night-light on top of it. Give some glue on the ½ inch seam allowance that you once made, then fold the fabric over the frame and press it together covering the edges of the lamp shade frame as you make a night light. You may also have to make small cuts in the fabric fit more tightly. This will allow the glue to dry up.
