 I'll show you how I used a burlap coffee sack to make a lampshade for a hanging pendant lamp.

Materials needed:
burlap coffee sack
twill tape (I used natural color, 1 inch wide)
1/2 yard plain fabric (you'll have plenty left over)
glue gun and glue sticks
scissors
sewing machine

Step 1Cut your coffee sack to size

Cut your coffee sack to size
 Measure the height of your current lampshade and cut the coffee sack to that height.  

Then, away from any decoration you'd like to feature, cut up the tube to form a long rectangle.

Measure the circumference of the base of your current lampshade and cut the long rectangle to that width plus 1 inch.
