Step 1: Spray Paint the Lampshades

Sray-paint the lampshades with a flate white paint. When spray-painting, hold the can 10"-12" away from the surface of the object being painted and keep it moving for an even coat of paint.

Safety tip: Wear a protective mask when working with spray paint.

Step 2: Add Water to Paints

Add a small amount of water to each of the three paints for a thin consistency.

Paint Colors: Benjamin Moore paint #2028-30, Tequila Lime; #370, Yellow Tone; #1649, Polaris Blue

Step 3: Apply Paint to Lampshade

A foam brush is dipped in each paint color and pressed against the top of each shade, letting paint drip down the outside.

Step 4: View the Transformation
