I love projects like this, it was a heap of fun. The fabric I ordered was from amazon, I think I just typed in Island prints or Island fabrics. There is a thread if you search for it that shows using modge podge on it after it's attached to the frame. A tip to anybody else making a lamp...go to Lowes and in the fan/lighting dept they have a swag lamp kit that comes with 12ft cord and chain for $12. I bought the socket and cord I used from Ikea which was only $5 but then I bought the decorative chain separate and the chain was almost $16 by itself...I didn't learn about the Lowes kit until afterwards. I do other art as well, I own a screen printing business here in Portland and I just did a 6 color tiki screen print, that I'll be posting soon. I'll be selling shirts of it in my Etsy shop at some point soon too.
