I am trying to cover 5 mini chandelier lampshades with fabric. How do i get it to fit without too much overlapping?

	Measure top and bottom and add 4 inches for seams and to make a neat over lap.

	Take the lampshade to a fabric store. Have them cut it. Bettter yet have them cover it.

	Buy new shades. For about $25.00 you can buy new ones at Lowes or Home Depot. Easier, neater and less homemade looking.
