When decorating a room you might find it necessary to change your lampshades to match the new decor so that it looks attractive both during the day and night.

Soft and Sharp pencils
Fine black felt-tipped pen
Scissors

Procedure to make lampshade:

Trace the design of a rose flower or any other flower and darken the lines with a black pen. Remember, your flower shapes should be relatively small, so as not to overwhelm the lamp.

Place the yellow paper over this design and trace again with a sharp pencil. Trace the whole picture using the respective colours. After you have traced the shapes cut them carefully along the lines. Smooth out any wrinkles on the paper.

Apply glue on the cut out pieces and stick it on the lampshade properly. Stick appropriate number of roses on the lampshade.

Glue the calyx and stem under each rose and when it is dry, paint the lampshade with two coats of varnish.
