Kiwiana Birds | Fabric lampshade | Handcrafted
A flock of New Zealand birds: fantails, tui, weka, pukeko and more, doing their thing on a dark pepperminty green background.
This print comes in a soft 100% cotton fabric.
It lines up horizontally on a fabric that is 1.12 metres wide. This means that it is more suited for small to medium straight sided shades with a diametre of 35 cm or less.
For larger light shades and to keep the birds sitting up the right way (rather than appearing drunkenly sideways) it may be necessary to make the shade with 2 seams, rather than 1. This is done as 'invisibly' as possible but TBH I don't recommend it.
Refer to the size charts in the photos to determine the perfect dimensions for your lampshade. All sizes are numbered for easy selection; for instance, 'Straight sided 15'. Use the drop down menus to make your choice.
To order a lampshade in this fabric:
In the 1st drop down menu select the style and shape of lampshade - all dimensions are illustrated in the photos.
Ceiling lights are best chosen from the straight sided options and most of the tapered shades are only suitable for table or floor stands and are not available for ceiling pendants.
In the 2nd drop down menu select whether your lampshade is for a table lamp / floor stand, or to be hung from the ceiling. A guide can be found in the photos.
In the 3rd drop down menu select the ring size of the shade frame.
The options are either bayonet bulb fitting or screw bulb fitting. (See photo). Have a look at your lamp base or ceiling fitting and check if it takes a bayonet or screw fit bulb. This will guide your decision.
If in doubt, select bayonet bulb fitting as this will come with a standard flexible adaptor which can be flipped out to make the bulb holder larger which will then fit a screw bulb. More information.

A LED bulb is recommended.
Each lampshade has a fire retardant inner made from white styrene.
If you'd like a stand to go with your shade head to 'Table Lamps.'
