Lighten Up Lampshade


Don’t keep your creativity in the dark; shed some light with a collage of color! Crafty Chica Tango Permanent Fabric Makers are perfect for taking a boring old lampshade from drab to fab; add spicy accents with Crafty Chica Little Chica Paint Packs and Paint Writers and display anywhere that needs a pop of personality!

Instructions

  1. Use the Tango Permanent Fabric Markers to draw and fill in blocks of color around the entire lampshade. Let dry.
  2. Squeeze a puddle of the Crystal Paint Writer onto foil and use the flat paintbrush to brush a coat of glitter paint all over lampshade to make it sparkle. Let dry.
  3. Use a pencil to sketch desired wording and designs onto color blocks. Squeeze puddles of desired colors of Little Chica paints onto foil then paint over designs with round and liner brushes. Let dry.
