Stenciling a Light Look

It's easy to make your lampshade as unique as the light fixture it accompanies; just use a stencil as a guide for painting an ornamental design. Purchase a stencil from a crafts- or art-supply store. Look for a design that complements both the style of your lamp base and the room where you'll place it. You could pick up an element such as a leaf or flower from floral wallpaper, or paint simple vegetable shapes on a shade for the kitchen.
