The only problem was, they were selling for a minimum of $60. Ummm&#8230;. no? That&#8217;s when I thought&#8230; &#8220;Pff, I&#8217;ll do it myself!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, I found a link with some tips on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/therichstyle.com\/?p=2149\">how to achieve the desired look<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0and went from there.<\/p>\n<p>I first went to Walmart and bought the following supplies and only spent about $15.00:<\/p>\n<p>Painters tape<br \/>\nA small, cream lamp shade<br \/>\nCheap paintbrushes<br \/>\nPaint (I just bought a small bottle of the sample paint that is under the paint sample swatches)<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-D6H40xTrds8\/TyYQ6TTQ84I\/AAAAAAAABCM\/T7xbmKRzF_4\/s1600\/DSC01417.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-D6H40xTrds8\/TyYQ6TTQ84I\/AAAAAAAABCM\/T7xbmKRzF_4\/s320\/DSC01417.JPG\" width=\"320\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-kiHDYg9NisY\/TyYRKPrdQBI\/AAAAAAAABCU\/0gQayKBSrnQ\/s1600\/DSC01418.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-kiHDYg9NisY\/TyYRKPrdQBI\/AAAAAAAABCU\/0gQayKBSrnQ\/s200\/DSC01418.JPG\" width=\"132\" height=\"200\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I then began taping the lamp shade. This was a little difficult to figure out, as the shade I bought is smaller than the example I was looking at, so it just took some trial and error time. This took about two hours to do.<\/p>\n<p>My first attempt seemed to be going well. I thought I&#8217;d tape the entire lamp and could then peel off every other strip so that the lines would be the same thinkness, but as I worked around the lamp I was only able to get two complete &#8220;upside down peaks&#8221; and the third would just not match up. So, I knew I needed to get smart here.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-INVy-a9cvAs\/TyYTVj8xryI\/AAAAAAAABCs\/9zdYHviZ4ZQ\/s1600\/DSC01420.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-INVy-a9cvAs\/TyYTVj8xryI\/AAAAAAAABCs\/9zdYHviZ4ZQ\/s320\/DSC01420.JPG\" width=\"320\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>My second attempt started with taping a &#8220;plus&#8221; across the top&#8230;.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-rdz9xE3_AaQ\/TyYTwJ2MiRI\/AAAAAAAABC0\/ufb3DwFLb9Q\/s1600\/DSC01421.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-rdz9xE3_AaQ\/TyYTwJ2MiRI\/AAAAAAAABC0\/ufb3DwFLb9Q\/s320\/DSC01421.JPG\" width=\"320\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>and then I used those four points to tape my upside down peaks from.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-_DLSOaBGiL4\/TyYUIHZsOFI\/AAAAAAAABC8\/8H3SYGXp7Kw\/s1600\/DSC01423.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-_DLSOaBGiL4\/TyYUIHZsOFI\/AAAAAAAABC8\/8H3SYGXp7Kw\/s320\/DSC01423.JPG\" width=\"320\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>I then trimmed off the extra.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-uoq5mP3OwoA\/TyYUesJQFdI\/AAAAAAAABDE\/kHSgs2J-qxs\/s1600\/DSC01424.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-uoq5mP3OwoA\/TyYUesJQFdI\/AAAAAAAABDE\/kHSgs2J-qxs\/s320\/DSC01424.JPG\" width=\"320\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>and added a little upside down triange of tape to achieve the &#8220;Chevron stripes&#8221; at the top.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-viYNwJCIObY\/TyYU6u_C1SI\/AAAAAAAABDM\/7lcEcMwGed8\/s1600\/DSC01425.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-viYNwJCIObY\/TyYU6u_C1SI\/AAAAAAAABDM\/7lcEcMwGed8\/s320\/DSC01425.JPG\" width=\"320\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>But, as you can see, this method gave me very steep (and skinny) Chevron peaks, and was not what I was looking for.<\/p>\n<p>It was in the third and final attempt that I found success.
