How to make your lamp shade
1. Get your kids to draw a crayon masterpiece on the paper or use artwork they’ve created already.
2. Cut out shapes or images from the drawing (such as people, trees etc) and glue them to the outside of the lamp shade.
3. With a solution of 3 parts glue to 1 part water, paint over each of the cut-outs on the lamp shade, coating all the edges.
4. Allow the glue to dry and apply another 2 or 3 coats, allowing each application to dry before applying the next.
5. Once the lamp shade has dried completely, fit it to the lamp base or light fitting and your bedroom decoration is complete!
