HOMEMADE LAMP SHADE.
Charming Effects Easily Evolved With
Colored Cut Paper.

1t will be readily seen from a glance
used for this paper lamp shade are
similar to those used in the popular
art of stenciling. If you want to car
ry out original patterns you must
trace their subject with a broad
double outline of uniform width-to
simulate the leading employed in real
stained glass-upon stiff cardboard,
which should not be very thick oil the
cutting out process will be rendered
very difficult. To make the shade
four or six sections will be required
for the sides and a square xr,ece for
the top. The cardboard is Inen laid
on a sheet of glass OF very smooth
hard wood and all the intervening
spaces between the lines cut away
with a sharp pointed knife or with
small scissors. The keen edged, deli
cate instruments used for m%anlcuring
are ideal for this purpose. This is
really the only troublesome part Of
the work. Once the skeleton frame
work of the design Is successfully
made the rest is easy. A tiny file or
emory paper can be used to smooth
all rough edges. Any %unevenness
must be pressed out and corners neat
~ finished. The framework is then
painted with two or three coats OF
ivory black water color paint and then
given a final coating of gum water or
