Give your space a pop of personality with this easy DIY vertical stripe string lampshade tutorial! Using embroidery thread, you’ll wrap a plain lampshade frame in colorful vertical lines to create a striking, textured effect. Go for bold brights or soft neutrals – whatever matches your vibe. You’ll need just a lampshade frame, hot glue gun, scissors, and lots of embroidery floss. Want to speed things up? Try thicker yarns like jute, twine, or wool – though you’ll get fewer stripes. Embroidery thread takes longer but gives you more detailed, vibrant results. It’s a relaxing, creative project that adds a handmade touch to any corner of your home.  Find the written tutorial here.
