LAMPSHADE REVAMP...in 2 hours

Give a pendant shade a new look in a couple of hours with a new pattern or colour. Easy to achieve with a wallpaper remnant, simply remove the old cover then measure the pendant’s circumference (adding a couple of centimetres to this) and depth. Draw this oblong shape onto the back of your chosen wallpaper, then cut out. Place glue dots around the pendant frame then wrap the paper around, right side facing out, pressing into the dots.

Tip

A clothes peg will help keep the paper in place. Glue the overlapping wallpaper ends with double-sided tape for a neat finish.
