DIY anaglypta drum light

Step 1
This is an old second hand drum light shade. The fabric has faded and the plastic on the inside is cracked in multiple places. It is looking very tired but it can be saved. Wipe down the shade with a damp cloth to remove all dust and contaminants.

Step 2
Start by painting the outside of the shade with Resene Lucky Point.

Step 3
Measure the height and circumference of the shade and cut your Resene Anaglypta wallpaper to the width and length needed to fit inside the shade. Paint the wallpaper with a coat of Resene Wild West. When this is dry, paint over it with Resene Copper Fire metallic.

Step 4
Spread glue (try strong PVA glue) on the inside of the shade. Carefully work around the shade, smoothing the paper into place. Fleur found that a bread and butter knife was helpful in pushing the paper under the rim of the shade.
