Step 2
Make two small marks on the Alcantara at the centre top and bottom of the cabochon to mark its position. Place the dark green cord at one mark leaving 10cm (4in) hanging. Begin to sew the cord around the cabochon close to its edge, entering and exiting the cord and the Alcantara. Sew the cord around to the second mark. Repeat the process on the other side.

Step 17
Cut six pieces of Alcantara and glue them to the back of the pieces over the stitching. Cut six 1cm (½in) pieces of hook and loop fastening and glue them to the back of the long pieces you have made. Position the cabochon on the lampshade and arrange the other pieces around it in a neat pattern.
