Abstract: A lamp shade kit may be assembled by forming a lamp shade into a drum shape by attaching two vertically oriented Velcro® strips to each other, said strips being arranged on opposite edges of the lamp shade; inserting a plain ring into a lower bead formed along a lower periphery of the lamp shade; and inserting a spider ring into an upper bead formed along an upper periphery of the lamp shade; whereby the lamp shade kit is assembled and ready to be secured in place. Preliminarily, the lamp shade may be opened up into the drum shape from an initially rolled-up condition. Also, the spider ring may have either a swag ring or a finial ring in its center.
