The shops are full of all kinds of lamps. However, sometimes you want something completely unusual. You can try to make a plafond with your own hands, since there are a great many ways for this. Try to make an original shade from threads.
It is necessary
- Threads of the same color or different
- Fireproof impregnation
- PVA glue in a plastic bottle
- Balloon
- Piece of wire
- Ballpoint pen
- Base from an old chandelier with a holder
- Needle with a large eye
Instructions
Step 1
Unwind the threads. To prevent them from getting confused, wrap them around a long board or book, remove the resulting multi-layer loop and tie it in several places with threads of a different color.
Step 2
Dip the threads in a fireproof fabric soak and hold for as long as instructed. Take them out, dry them and roll them back up into a ball.
Step 3
Inflate the balloon. Thread the ball into the needle. Pierce the bottle of glue with a needle and pull the thread through the bottle.
Step 4
Wrap the thread around the ball, passing it through the bottle of glue. You should have a tight mesh. Pierce the ball, carefully pull it out through the hole left and let the shade dry.
Step 5
Cut a hole at the bottom of the shade. It can be cut evenly, or you can make teeth. Cut a smaller hole in the upper part of the shade.
Step 6
Cut a piece of wire around the circumference of the top hole. Bend the wire into a circle. Take a ballpoint pen refill and cut a piece of the top free of paste from it. Use it to join the wire in a circle. For strength, you can pour some all-purpose glue into the piece of the rod.
Step 7
Sew the shade to the wire circle. It is recommended to use the same threads with fire protection impregnation. It is better to close the entire wire. Tie the shade to the base cord. Try to keep the cartridge in the middle of the structure.
