for a regular lamp, what characteristics of material (plastic) is used on the inside to produce a shade cover?
Also, how do you make a dissertation lamp shade?

Answers:    Do not use plastic, it's not past the worst and it's not pretty. Go to a craft store to get accepted wisdom, but first go to a oil lamp store, see what you like and afterwards purchase what you need and try to copy what you like at the store.

You might try asking this in the arts and craft slice. How you end up making it will depend largely on the type of frame the shade have.
