Step 1. Prepare your lampshade by making sure it is clean.

Step 2. When you have decided on your colors, tear bits of your paper into randomly sized pieces and start gluing them on the lampshade. We used light but bright tones of green as the main colors and every now and then, placed some small pieces of what we called the jewel colors, e.g. red, orange and emerald, onto the shade. Keep building on the main colors until you are happy with the coverage.

The main paper is very delicate so you will notice glue coming through but don't be concerned, as it will dry clear.

The jewel colors will look good as little bits of accent color during the day and when you first use your shade, the jewel colors will really spring to life!

Step 3. When everything has dried, it is time to spray with the gold web paint.

Follow manufacturer's instructions and we suggest you experiment a little with the paint, first. Don't be too worried as to be honest, you really can't make a mistake with this product. We decided on quite a strong coverage for the look we wanted but that is a personal decision.
