Instructions
Step 1
First, take a balloon, inflate it to the size you want your lampshade to be. Lubricate it with petroleum jelly or wrap it with cling film. This is to prevent the threads from sticking to the ball.
Step 2
Prepare PVA glue, cotton threads and paste, which can be prepared using starch and flour.
Step 3
Soak the threads in the glue. Wrap them randomly around the ball - spare no thread or glue. After all, the more layers, the denser and stronger your lampshade will be. When the threads are completely dry, burst the ball.
Step 4
Use a spray can of paint to color the lampshade. Spray the paint at a distance of 20 cm. This is to ensure that the paint spreads evenly.
Step 5
Optionally, the lampshade can be decorated with applique. Also, an original drawing can be created using stencils.
Step 6
Insert the bulb holder. Attach the lampshade to the holder. Plug into a power outlet. Voila! Your stylish lampshade is ready. The new lighting fixture will be an excellent decorative solution in your interior. In the same way, you can illuminate and transform the rest of the rooms in your home. It may even be the start of your design career.
