Not quite sure I understand your question. Do you have many lampshades you want to decorate, waht are they made of, are there various sizes, what room are they to go into as lamps or ceiling lampshades, do you want to repurpose them?

Keep in mind that any painted lampshade, irregardless of what color it was before it was painted, will not emit as much light through the shade as before.
As well, depending on if the shade is lined or not, and with what color, the lampshade may also emit light the color of the shade.
