Cover the lamp with wallpaper step by step
First of all we would like to indicate that it is an easy and practical tutorial. With these simple steps and tips you will have the change you want in your lamps. What if we advise you is not to skimp on choosing the wallpaper, since there are some more suitable than others for lamps, we recommend looking at Amazon since they have one of the largest catalogs.
In this sense, we do not recommend using wall effect vinyls or that simulate bricks, but rather with floral, line or grid prints. Likewise, you must make sure that the colors match the space where we are going to place the lamp and that the paper material is of quality .
1Measure the size of your lampshade with a tape measure, to find out how many centimeters has the surface you are going to cover. When buying the paper, try to buy twice the size of your screen. Having a little extra paper helps to replace the paper in case of something unforeseen at the time of carrying out the work.
TWOSpread a piece of recycling paper over a long surface and place the lamp on top to trace the actual dimensions of the lamp and draw a pattern. If it is square, it is easier to calculate the size and extension of the screen. If it is circular, you should make small cross cuts to fit the paper to the round shape of the lamp.
3Once you have the pattern cut out, you can place it on top of the wallpaper and cut it into the required shape and size.
4Place the glue little by little on the surface of the lamp and spread it gently in portions to gradually attach the paper, without leaving bubbles on the surface. If it is paper with glue included, proceed in the same way, by portions, you paste it little by little on the surface of the lamp. Eliminate the leftovers, work in a clean and orderly way ... And that's it! Enjoy your new lamp! Place it in the place of your preference!
