jigsaw
ink
ink roller
Japanese rice paper
press bed
craft knife
glue
metal lampshade frame
lamp base Steps: 1. Carve decorative pattern into 1/2-inch birch plywood. 2. Roll ink on to the carved wood. 3. Lay Japanese paper on to the inked piece of wood. 4. Put carved wood/paper on to press bed and run through press. 5. Remove paper from wood. The pattern is now transferred on to the paper. 6. Allow paper to dry (one day). 7. Using a craft knife, cut the printed paper into pieces to match the size of the lampshade. Cut four pieces, one for each side. 8. Glue cut paper pieces to frame. Place finished lampshade over lamp.
