Step 4: Cover
The ribbon is just the thing to cover the glue seam. To attach the ribbon, I placed a small dot of glue on the end of the ribbon and affixed it to the shade. Next, I wrapped the ribbon tightly around the shade and trimmed it to length. For a clean edge I folded the cut end of the ribbon under and then glued it in place.
Tip: Use an elastic ribbon; the stretch helps it lie flat around the curves and angles of the shade.
