Hennaed lampshades work great because the heat generated by the bulb
will really darken the stain! I hennaed the lamp in my room, which
has a fabric (plastic backed) shade, so of course i could not iron
it. But i left the henna on a for a few days, and kept using the lamp
as normal. When i scraped it off (this took a LONG time-- it was
stuck so hard) the stain was a light brown, and with regular use and
heat, it has darkened to a nice deep walnut brown. It's not really
red at all.
