If you want yours to look just like mine, are using the same lampshade and have a Cricut Maker cutting machine , you are in luck! Shop Cricut Maker

Cut out your felt circles. I cut out 24 of each color for a total of 6 rows. I used exactly 1 felt sheet of each color to cover the whole lampshade.

I recommend 2 coats to make sure you get really good coverage–you don't want to see brushstrokes when then light is turned on and shines through it. Learn more

After the paint is dry, you are ready to attach the felt circles to your lampshade. I used fabric glue to hold the felt circles in place while the glue set.
