Worked perfectly!!!! (Yes it’s adhesive)
Definitely recommend. My husband had an old lamp that was given to him by a family member when he was a child. It’s a little older, but he cherished it. So when it was damaged by movers he was very upset. I never knew what that inside part of the lampshade was, or if it could even be replaced. After a bit of research online, I found out what could be used and ordered the size needed for this project.I took my time, peeling the old inner lining off the lampshade so it didn’t rip or stretch the original fabric. Then I made sure the old shade fabric was clean and dry and replaced the new liner with the styrene. It was so easy to use and the adhesive backing worked great!It’s a little thicker than the original stuff, but the quality is fantastic and I’m sure it will last a long time. It was easy to cut to fit all I did was outline the original lampshade (while it still had the old liner to keep it stiff) so that it would fit perfectly.I like that the Styrene is white so that it doesn’t block light considering that the shade fabric has darker colors.The lamp looks fantastic now. It is definitely worth the price.My only recommendation is that you take your time when attaching the fabric to the adhesive backing. The adhesive did allow me to pull the fabric up to make sure there was no bubbling. Do not press down on the fabric until it is in the position you want! Once you press it down it’s harder to pull off and readjust. Like I said just take your time-don’t rush the project.Definitely five stars and worth it.

I like my lamps, too, and my shades!
The styrene was ideal for my project, which was not a lamp shade per se, but cylinders to be placed over a pair of accent lamps (for which I couldn't find shades). The adhesive was great (I used a semi-sheer fabric and it was something like putting up wallpaper), the thickness was perfect. The styrene was rather hard to work with, as it was tightly rolled and didn't want to unroll. Putting heavy books on it for several hours helped some, and I used books while I was working, too. This was my first time to use styrene; perhaps it always comes that way, though sheets would be easier to work with. The width (12 inches) was exact. My single complaint is that I was shorted on the length (supposed to be 64 inches) by about 3 inches, which didn't affect my project but may ruin some projects. I would suggest ordering the next higher length than you need, if your measurement is tight.

Great product!
Made my first 3 mini lampshades with jute covering. Worked very well. It's very stiff so I didn't need metal rings for support.I had to massage the styrene a bit when creating a circle as it has lot of power to unwinds.

Loved it!
I bought a unique lamp from a thrift store and it was damaged in a move. The shade finally fell apart last week. After looking up how to repair it, I saw this product. It was very easy to use. It was also forgiving as I didn't lay the fabric on perfectly, and I could pull off and re-adhere. Now I'm looking to create other lamps with the remaining styrene strip.

Handmade lampshade
Liked that it was easy to make a lampshade from. My shade had seen better days and this shade turned out beautiful. Easy to use and is holding up great.

Not worth the price
Seems to be great quality, but make sure to double check the size you’re getting.Thought I bought a much longer piece, but instead got only 40” for $40. I could have just bought two brand new lamp shades for that price! Instead, I can’t even make one. Would not recommend.

This was a very rewarding project artistically and financially.
I rolled it out and put books on the ends to let it uncurl for a couple of days as suggested by others. The adhesive backing adhered well and went on pretty easily, especially considering the fact that I used a heavy weight home dec fabric. I reused the rings from my old lampshades and it came out looking like a professional made it. I also purchased the double sided tape suggested by Amazon which made the project go much more smoothly than using glue would have. I was a little nervous about taking this on, but it was surprisingly easy to do.
