I just pulled the old ugly lamp shade from the frame of the lamp and then glued the japanese paper onto the frame using elmer's glue. The paper was leftover from another art project of mine. It's from a book I got at a used books store in the foreign section. Pretty easy. Just be sure to use a CFL in the lamp: 1) because it's better for the environment and saves energy. 2) because it won't heat up and catch the paper on fire....
