Measure the top diameter of your electric candle. Cut a length of fabric measuring double this measurement in width and double in height. For example, if the diameter of the top of the candle is 4 inches across, the fabric must be 8 inches long and 8 inches tall.
Cut a length of flexible wire matching the length of the fabric. Bend the length of wire into a perfect circle. The diameter of the circle should be equal to the diameter of the top of the candle.
Squeeze a line of fabric glue along the surface of the wire circle. Wrap the bottom edge of the fabric length around it.
Cut a second length of wire measuring half the size of the first one. For example, if the first length of wire is 8 inches, then the second length of wire should be 4 inches long. Form this wire length into another perfect circle.
Squeeze glue along the surface of the wire circle. This creates a tube-like structure with the fabric, with a wire ring at each end.
Snip two more lengths of wire. Measure and cut these to match the length of the fabric-ring tube. For example, if the distance between the two ringed ends is 8 inches, cut two 8-inch wires. Squeeze a line of glue on the surface of each wire.
Slide each wire inside of the fabric tube opposite one another. This creates a splint at either side that keeps the fabric tube upright. This is what makes it a lampshade. About 1/4 inch of wire will protrude from the wider end of the lampshade. Bend each of the wires into a loop shape.
Sit the lampshade on top of the electric candle. The small wire loops protruding from the base will slightly lift the shade from the surface of the candle.
