I take a piece of ribbon and run it around the interior bottom part of the shade to get my measurement. I bought 10 large crystals and 8 strings of crystals. I only used 7 crystals and broke the strings apart and re-strung them. Take your shade measurement and divide it by the amount of crystals, so you know how far to place them apart. I glue just along the inside lip of the shade, evenly spacing until complete. Then measure a strand of white or cream ribbon to cover and finish over the clue details. Sew or stitch witch a long fabric chain cover. Make sure there is plenty of fabric to bunch up. Hang and enjoy the new lighting…
