Shady business

Materials and tools
A close-up of all the materials and tools used in the project.

Step one
Measure the length and width of the wallpaper you need by running a soft tape around the drum shade. Add 2cm to fold over at the end, adding about 3cm to the width to allow you to fold the edges onto the inside of the shade.

Step two
Cut the length and width of the wallpaper using a large ruler and a knife or scissors.

Step three
Lay the piece of Resene wallpaper on a flat surface. Begin to glue (or tape with double-sided tape as an alternative) the inside edge of the lampshade 10cm at a time. The hot glue will dry fast, so do it in small sections.

Step four
Fold the Resene wallpaper around the bottom edge and onto the glue on the inside edge of the shade, pressing down to ensure it has adhered well.

Step five
Repeat this process around the shade. Leave the last 10cm free to allow for a fold once the other side is finished.

Step six
Flip the shade over and repeat the process. You may have to make a small cut for the wires that hold the shade together on this edge.

Step seven
Now that both sides are glued, go to the cut end on the face of the lampshade and fold it in to give it a nice tidy edge, then glue.
