  Step 1

  Remove the lamp shade, bulb, and lamp shade hardware.

• 

  Step 2

  Prep the lamp by wiping it down with a damp paper towel and a light sanding. Attach painter's tape on the bottom and around the cord.

• 

  Step 3

  Lay the lamp on the side and spray paint the bottom edge gold with a few light coats. If you get too close, the paint will crinkle/bubble. If this happens, wipe it off or let it dry and sand off, and paint again.

• Step 4

  This is important! Wait about a week for the paint to cure, then tape off the gold edge at the bottom and socket hardware at the top and spray paint a glossy white. Make sure you do a few light coats again. (So sorry I didn't take pictures of these steps, I thought I had...)

  Step 5

  Add trim the lamp shade by measuring ribbon around the circumference of the shade.

• 

  Step 6

  Start at the back seam of the lamp shade and add a little hot glue to attach the ribbon.

• 

  Step 7

  Continue around the lamp shade with the ribbon, adding a little glue dot about every 6 inches.

• 

  Step 8

  Add as many "bands" as you like. I put two at the bottom and one at the top.
