Fun Lampshades
With Rust-Oleum Paint Pens you can turn a plain white lampshade into a work of art for a nursery, kids room, or any room in the home.
You will need:
Rust-Oleum Paint Pens
Get one of each colour. Once you've got these pens you'll
discover hundreds of projects you can do!
Stencils, or your own designs and tracing paper
Pencil
Optional:
Rust-Oleum American Accents spray for colouring the lampshade.
Here's how:
1. To ensure that the Paint Pens doesn't leak into the surrounding area, lightly spray with American Accents Blossom White to prepare the surface. Allow this to dry for 20 minutes.
2. If you're going to draw directly onto the white shade, position the stencil and draw the design onto the lampshade with a pencil. Or transfer your freehand design onto the lampshade.
3. If you want to add colour to the lampshade, apply the American Accents spray in your selected colour. Hold 15 to 20 cm away from the shade and lightly spray over the entire area to be painted. Allow this to dry for 20 minutes.
4. Shake the Paint Pens well before use to ensure that the content is thoroughly mixed. Remove the tip of the pen and lightly tap onto a piece of newspaper to fill the fibre tip.
5. Now it's time for fun! Use the Paint Pens to draw and create an unlimited number of designs onto projects. Use the Paint Pen exactly as you would a thick-tip marker pen. Start by colouring in the background design, add the main design, and then finish off by outlining the design in black.
