How to Make a Henna Lamp

Lay the goatskin around the lamp frame. Mark the edges of each side of the frame with the pencil to designate the design boundaries for each shade side. Trim the goatskin with scissors to fit the height and width of the lamp frame.

Lay the goatskin on a flat surface and, if thin enough, trace designs, using the pencil, as desired onto each shade section. Otherwise, use printed henna designs as a guide to draw the designs onto each shade section. Use numerous designs and patterns tightly packed into a space.

Prep the henna kit, according to directions. Pipe the henna paste onto the shade, according to the pencil-sketched designs. Pipe around the indicated frame edges to section off each shade side. Let dry completely.

Apply craft glue along the lamp frame edges. Wrap the henna-tattooed goatskin shade around the lamp frame edges. Apply pressure along the edges to secure. Let dry completely.

Light the candle using the matches. Place the henna lamp shade over the burning candle to illuminate the lamp.
