A beautiful lighting solution is an important point in the decor of a room. You can quickly refresh the interior without significant financial investments by making a new original lamp shade for the lamp. He will bring his own special flavor to your living space.
Lace lampshade
To create this lampshade for a table lamp, you will need a frame from the old one. You can decorate both a metal base and a smooth plastic one. Wrap the frame with a large piece of newspaper and fold it over the top and bottom. Remove the sheet and cut the part out of it. Try it on again and resize it.
Select the fabric for decoration taking into account the requirements for the lighting of the room. If you need bright light, use a fabric that is thinner and transparent, and for semi-darkness, a dense fabric is suitable. Attach a newspaper pattern and make a fabric blank with allowances.
Corrugated fabric will look original on this lampshade. It will give light volume due to the accordion effect.
Wrap the frame with the prepared fabric, stretch and secure it by bending it over to the opposite side. On a metal frame, the material can be stitched with threads, and on a plastic one you can simply glue it with hot glue.
Using a paper pattern, make another piece of guipure. Attach it to the top of the fabric-covered lampshade. If there is a desire, then the lace detail can be made a little longer than the pattern, then it will be beautifully draped on the lampshade.
Beaded lampshade
An original and transparent lampshade can be made using stocks of beads and beads. Make a lamp frame out of aluminum wire, or use an old one. Paint with acrylic paint and a brush or spray base in a color that suits you. It will be clearly visible through the decorative elements.
If you want to make an interesting texture for a metal frame, wrap each wire separately with toilet paper, periodically moistening it in PVA glue. When the glue is dry, paint over the base of the lampshade with acrylics.
String beads of different sizes on a long piece of fishing line, alternate them with beads. You should end up with a long string. Leave the ends of the line on both sides so that they can be fixed to the metal frame.
For such a lampshade decoration, you can use ready-made threads with beads, jute rope, narrow ribbons or braid.
Tie one end of the line to the top circle of the lampshade. Wrap the entire structure through the top and bottom circles. Adjust the winding density at your discretion. You can complement the decor of the lampshade by attaching drop-shaped pendants along the lower edge of the frame. Just thread a piece of fishing line through the hole in them and tie them to the metal circle. Trim the exposed ends of the fishing line and melt them down to keep the thread and individual decorations from unraveling.
