I purchased the above lampshade topper off Amazon as a Halloween decoration. The current price is $10.97 and shipping is free if you have Amazon Prime. I like the way it looks on my lamp - gives it sort of a creepy elegance.
From the ad (picture with link below), I had figured it would have some sort of elastic at the top, but it turned out to be a flat piece of fabric, 60inx18in and a long ribbon, which is probably better as it makes it easier to adjust to fit whatever size lamp you want to fit it around.
The top and the holes where you put the ribbon are finished nicely and it has a spider web look with spiders on it with bats at the bottom. The bats at the bottom appeared that they might fray when washed, so I used black nail polish around all of the edges to keep it in place.
It is made out of polyester and indicates you can machine or hand wash in cold water with no bleach on a gentle cycle, but from experience with similar fabrics I would recommend if you put it into the washer that you put it in lingerie washing bag first and air dry over a plastic hanger placed over your shower head or someplace outside it dry overnight..
The ad indicates it can also be used as a window or door sway or a mantle scarf, but as it is a and open ended piece of fabric with ribbon as a lace it could also be used as a skirt topper, a scarf, a caplet or even a veil.
The company that sells it, AerWo, also has a 3-month money back guarantee. I would say the finished top and holes that the ribbon goes through is a little higher quality than similarly priced items I have seen and I also like that it has the combo of spider webs, spiders with the uneven bat hem and will be keeping mine:)
Pros:
- Adds creepy elegance to a room
- 100% Polyester fabric
- Comes flat (60inx18in) and comes with a long ribbon
- The top and the holes where you put the ribbon are finished nicely
- Spider web look with spiders on it with bats at the bottom
- Could be used as a window or door topper, skirt topper, caplet, scarf or veil.
- Comes with a 3 month from date of purchase money back guarantee from the company.
Cons:
- Bats on bottom edges do not have a finished edge - might fray (I used black nail polish).
- Care should be given if washing in the machine or should be hand washed.

Bats at the bottom. While the top has finished edges, it did not look like the bottom did, so I used black nail polish to ensure the bats at the bottom would stay intact.
