Can't find one romantic lamp or a nice colorful lamp to keep in the room as a lampshade? Have you ever thought of making a very original one with a work of Crafts?
The process is simple: just get some light, even if it is a little fantasy, and decorate the paper screen with any image we want using the decoupage technique. We can use newspaper clippings, uniquely beautiful wrapping paper, or as in our case, the signs of the zodiac, taken from an astrology book.
Only with a little fantasy can one transform a lamp normal on a screen of color and creative design. For this you must have elements such as a paper lampshade, a flat-tipped brush, transparent protective paint and white glue (three parts of glue and water). Now let's go to work.
Carefully cut out images from the newspaper or magazine of your choice by selecting the cuts by bringing them closer to the shade and get an idea of their final arrangement. Spread a layer of glue on the back of each cutout and place it on the screen.
Then roll a second layer of glue directly onto the printed side using the decoupage technique. Do the same with each cut, and take care to create a harmonious and balanced. Let the glue dry, then spread the clear protective paint with the brush directly over the cuts, and then let it dry for a few hours.
And your screen is ready! It could be a wonderful idea for your child's bedside lamp, which can be customized according to his passions, be it sports or his favorite characters and cartoon heroes. Take his advice and decide together the best images.
