After the design has been made on the tracing paper, 
the first process is to transfer it to the water color 
paper which is to make the final shade, by using 
graphite paper between the two. All the paper should 
be firmly tacked to the drawing board, and the work 
done with a hard pencil 
MAKING PAPER SHADES 
Photographs of the processes were

P AINTED paper lamp shades are 
used so much these days, and there 
have been so many requests as to 
particulars in regard to their making, 
that we have consulted an expert and 
evolved the following interesting, though 
somewhat difficult method, which must 
be pursued in order to create these love¬ 
ly objects. 
Size, Designand Painting 
To begin with, the first thing to do 
is to decide on the size and type of 
lamp shade desired, have a wire frame 
made and then carefully fit a paper 
pattern of heavy wrapping paper on 
the frame, in order to insure accuracy. 
This when cut out and satisfactory 
should be placed on water color paper, 
which may be bought by the sheet. The 
top, bottom and side are then marked 
in pencil so that the pattern is indicated 
on the water color paper. 
The next step is to make the design 
on a tracing paper, that is to say if 
you desire more than one shade. In 
that case, it may be transferred to the 
water color paper with graphite paper, 
by means of following the design with 
a sharp, hard pencil. When the design 
is completed on the shade, it should be 
carefully inked with waterproof draw¬ 
ing ink, and for this purpose, a very 
thin, pointed drawing pen is used. 
Then comes the painting of the de¬ 
sign. Water color paints are used and 
in case a light background is desired, a 
wash may be put on first, covering the 
whole design. If a dark background 
is used, however, one should paint 
around the design only. Then the de¬ 
sign may be painted, and the line of 
color to edge the shade. After this, two 
coats of thin shellac are applied with 
time allowed in between for drying, and 
when dry, the shade is ready to cut out. 
Mounting the Shade 
It should be carefully cut out, fol¬ 
lowing the line of the original pattern, 
and then mounted and fitted on the 
wire rings or frame. For this purpose 
very tiny wire shanks are used to hold 
the shade together at the back, or glue 
may be used if preferred. Before mount¬ 
ing, the wire frame or rings should be 
covered with a narrow white silk tape.

After the tracing has been made, the design is carefully 
hiked on the water color paper. For this purpose, a 
waterproof drawing ink is used and a very fine and 
pointed pen
