Lampshade Tips Topic: Tip 28 Try this simple rule: For round-base lamps, stick with a lampshade that is round or cylindrical - for lamps with a rectangular base, look for a boxy shade.
To dry a shade after washing it, tie a string to the middle of the frame. Then hang it over the bathtub or hang it from a clothesline outdoors to drip dry,try not to leave it wet very long since the frame is metal and could rust. A blow dryer on warm works well.
