Lighting is the most important component of the interior. The coziness and comfort level of our home depends on the lighting. The play of light and shadow allows you to beat the winning moments of the interior and divert attention from bad moments. And also - lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers and lamps create the atmosphere that we call "home". Unique lamps and The best way- make a lampshade with your own hands. Homemade plafonds and lampshades are the thing that will make your home stand out from the rest.

A few words about security

In the manufacture of lamps, floor lamps and chandeliers in industrial conditions, the minimum distance from the "body" of the lamp to the materials is preliminarily calculated. This distance depends on the power and thermal radiation of the lamp and on the type (combustibility) of the material from which the ceiling / lampshade is made. At home, hardly anyone will bother with such calculations. And in order not to create a dangerous situation, it is worth adhering to certain rules.

And in general, having made a lampshade and installing it, in the first few days, pay attention to whether the ceiling heats up. Heating is any increase in temperature above environment. If the lampshade feels “warm”, change the light bulb to a less powerful one. Check again. So until the homemade lampshade warms up.

Where to get a frame

If you want to remake an old lamp, floor lamp, sconces in which the old lampshade has become unusable, you can simply use the existing base by peeling old material. Before starting work, inspect the frame well, if there is rust or a damaged coating somewhere, maybe it’s worth stripping everything off and painting it again? At the same time, the color can be changed. If there are no old frames, you can buy an inexpensive lamp (in a store or at a flea market) and do the same operations with it. Good lampshades can, by the way, be made from waste baskets. They are wire, there are plastic. The main thing is to find a suitable shape and size. Then make a hole in the bottom for the cartridge. Further - it's up to decoration / plating, and here there are a lot of options.

If this method is also not available, you can make a lampshade without a frame (there are some) or make a frame yourself. The material for making a frame for a lampshade with your own hands is: wire, wood (wooden or bamboo sticks, specially cut elements), plastic bottles.

How to make a frame for a homemade wire lampshade

The wire for the lamp frame needs aluminum or steel. Aluminum is easy to work with, but wrinkle easily. This is not very important when the lampshade is already in use, but this fact must be taken into account during operation: you can ruin the shape. On the other hand, such plasticity allows easy and simple changes in the shape during operation. So that's a good option. Aluminum wire can be "mined" from electrical cables. You will have to remove the protective shell and you can use it.

Steel wire is more elastic, so it retains its shape well. It can be found in the construction market. It's harder to work with her. It is desirable that there were strong male hands nearby.

In addition to the wire, you will need powerful wire cutters and pliers to work. The frame of the lampshade usually consists of two rings and racks connecting them. The shape of the future lampshade depends on the size of the rings and the shape of the racks. Questions may arise regarding the number of racks and how they are attached. The number of posts depends on the size of the rings and how "round" you want the lampshade to be. The more posts, the more “smoothly” the fabric will lie. So it's up to you to choose, but the optimal distance between the racks in the lower circle is about 5-6 cm.

Techniques for creating a frame for a wire lampshade

Methods for attaching the stack to the lampshade rings depend on the thickness and type of wire, as well as the tools you have. The easiest is to make a small hook at the end, then clamp it tightly. And so that the ring does not slide left and right, pre-treat the wire at the attachment point with sandpaper with a large grain. This is an option for thick aluminum wire. If the wire is steel, and with a diameter of 1.2-2 mm or more, the best way is. Thinner wire can be bent and wrapped around the ring or also made a hook.

If you make hooks, wind the wire, appearance it turns out far from being as perfect as that of factory frames. But this imperfection will be covered by the lampshade itself. If she still worries you, find a ribbon of a suitable color (usually matched to the color of the lampshade) and carefully wrap the resulting frame. It will get much better. The tape can be smeared with PVA glue and, wet, tightly, turn by turn, wrap the frame around.

wire mesh

If you can find a fine wire mesh, you can quickly make an almost perfect cylindrical shade for a floor lamp, table lamp, night lamp, candle shade, etc. All you need is to cut off a piece of mesh of the desired length and width, roll it into a ring and fasten the wires by wrapping them around the racks.

To prevent the mesh from straightening when cutting off a piece, cut so that long free ends remain on both sides. They will fasten the ceiling of a cylindrical shape. And the imperfection of the upper and lower rings can be masked with a tape of the desired color.

From a five-liter plastic bottle

An interesting shape lampshade can be obtained from a large plastic bottle. There are bottles of 5-6 liters and even 10. Here they can be used. From the container we cut off the top or the bottom - depending on what you like best. In the cut off part we make a ring for the cartridge. If the top is cut off, a neck can be used for some cartridges. For those with a larger diameter, it will have to be cut off.

Then we cut out the excess plastic, form the rims and racks of the ceiling. In order not to be mistaken, you can first draw all the lines with a marker. Cutting will be easier. Everything is elementary. Then we just decorate. And yes, it is necessary to cut out the plastic, otherwise the warm air will have nowhere to go.

We make lampshades on the frame

There are enough options on how to make a lampshade cover:

From tapes

The simplest and fast way transform an old lampshade for a floor lamp or table lamp - use ribbons. You need a frame or lampshade in the form of a cylinder. It can be "naked" or covered with fabric. If you use a "bare" frame, the light will break through the cracks, which will create interesting lighting effects, but the lighting will not be uniform. Reading in this light is inconvenient interior solution. If you need even lighting, cover the frame with fabric first. It can be the same color as the ribbon, a couple of tones darker or lighter, it can be contrasting. Everything depends on your desire. And remember that the darker the fabric, the less light the lampshade lets through.

We take a tape 1-2.5 cm wide. We fix it from the wrong side of the lampshade with PVA glue, additionally fixing it with a pin. If you took a wire frame without fabric, we attach it to the upper or lower rim (you can sew it on with your hands, you can use glue). Then we begin to wrap the entire frame, from top to bottom, placing the turns of the tape close to each other, but without overlap.

Having finished the circle, we unfold the tape 90 °. We fix it in this position (with a needle and thread or PVA glue, glue from a gun, temporarily fixing it with a pin, pressing it with a clothespin). Then we skip the tape under the first tape, pull it out, lay it on top of the second one, then pull it down again, pull it up through one tape. So, gradually, we create an interlacing, filling the entire lampshade.

Alternatively, you can skip two vertical tapes. But then you need to make sure that each next row moves one crossbar. Then you get a different type of weave. Such a lampshade is ideal for floor lamps, since it will direct the light downwards, scattering through the walls will be small.

In this version, the ribbons can be the same, they can be of the same color, but of a different texture, they can differ by a couple of tones or be contrasting. In a circle, the tapes can be started all the way, or you can - after a certain distance. If you find a wide tape and apply it with an overlap, then horizontal ones will not be needed at all. And if you use a braided or twisted cord (in the lower photo on the right), we get a completely different lampshade in appearance. So only this technique of finishing the lampshade gives a lot of options.

Let's briefly present the ideas. There are many options for how you can design standard frames for lampshades in a non-standard way. The first method has already been voiced: you can knit a lampshade cover on knitting needles or crochet. Several options in the photo.

Not everyone knows how to knit. It is easier to work with beads, especially if you glue them. You can decorate old fabric with beads, sequins, beads different shapes and sizes. You can make such a “new-old” lampshade with your own hands in a couple of hours. You select the decorations that match the color, coat the fabric with PVA glue, stick the decorations. To complete the look, you can assemble pendants from beads and beads that are attached to the lower rim, but this is already painstaking work. Although the effect is interesting.

You can sew a new lampshade out of fabric. But it is not necessary to make it an updated copy of the old one. Fantasy must be turned on! If the lamp or floor lamp is in the girls' room, a new cover for the lampshade can be made in the form of a skirt. The style of the skirt is up to you. Interesting look in the fold. With and without ruffles.

In the boy's room, you can use an old geographical map. They are on thick paper. If the paper is not thick enough, first you need to stick the card on cardboard, and then glue the lampshade from such a blank.

Original shades are obtained if the finished frame is braided with threads or ropes. Ropes can be natural. In this case, they are gray, brown beige. You can find thin synthetic colored cords. Of these, more "fun" in color products will turn out. The situation is even simpler with knitting threads. They are thin, thick, textured, with a smoothly changing color. In general, there are a lot of options.

We take the frame and braid it according to a certain pattern. You can start with racks. Braid each rack with a pigtail (the length of the threads should be 3 times more height racks). When this work is finished, we begin to stretch the threads / ropes between the racks. They will need to be passed through pigtails, so it is more convenient to do this with threads with a needle, and the ropes can be pushed through like that.

The second option is to first entangle the entire frame horizontally, and then braid the racks. A pigtail will no longer work here, you just need to fix the turns on the rack with oblique stitches with a certain slope. This version is somewhat simpler in execution, but the “pigtails” look more decorative.

Homemade ceiling lamps without a frame

Many materials are rigid enough to hold their shape on their own, yet malleable enough to be made into something interesting. There are a lot of such homemade lampshades. And almost all of them are worth your attention. We give here only a part, the other part will go in the photo section (see below).

From knitted lace doilies

Many people have crocheted napkins and they lie in the “stash”, because it’s a pity to throw it away and they don’t know how to use it. There are very interesting idea- make them a lampshade for a chandelier on a suspension. In addition to napkins, you will need a large balloon or an inflatable ball, glue for heavy wallpaper (vinyl, silkscreen, etc.), a brush.

We soak the glue according to the instructions, wait until it swells. Inflate a balloon or take a ball, hang it up. When the glue is ready, lay out a napkin on some clean surface, coat it with glue, put it on a ball.

It is necessary to lay out with such a condition that in the center there will be a hole for the cartridge. Glue the napkins one by one. They need to be laid out so that the edges overlap slightly. When all the napkins are laid, once again coat them with glue and leave to dry. When the glue is dry, blow off the ball or ball (the ball can be pierced if you don't mind) and take it out through the hole. That's all, the lace lampshade is ready.

In some cases, there are problems with how to hang the finished lampshade on the cartridge. The problem is solved simply - take a transparent plastic bottle, cut off its neck, if necessary, expand the hole to the right sizes(so that it fits tightly on the cartridge), then cut off the plastic so that you get a ring 5-7 cm wide. Coat this ring with PVA glue, and glue it to the lampshade from the inside of the ball.

Round plafonds made of threads

Almost the same technology can be used to make round and semicircular stylish shades. Choose the thread of the right color. Their composition is absolutely unimportant - the color, thickness and texture are important. They can be shaggy, smooth, twisted, thinner and thicker. It depends on the appearance. It is most convenient to work with cotton threads of medium thickness. They absorb glue well and then, after drying, keep their shape perfectly.

You will also need a ball or ball. This will be the base of the lampshade, which sets the shape. Choose the size of the base as you wish. The threads will need to be glued, for this you need PVA glue. It is poured into a container, diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 1.

You can use other glue. It is important that it becomes transparent after drying. These are WB-29 from TYTAN Professional and D2 joinery adhesive. If you use any of these types of glue, read the instructions.

On the ball or ball, draw a circle, which will be slightly smaller in size than the lamp socket. On the opposite side, draw a larger circle - this will be the lower edge of the ceiling. Now everything is ready, we can start.

We coat the threads with glue and wind them around the ball in a chaotic manner. It is more convenient to do this if the glue is poured into a container - you can lower the entire skein there, and just pull the thread slowly. With glue in a tube, everything is not so comfortable: you have to coat sections up to a meter long, rewind, coat again. Time goes much longer. This is if you do not use PVA. But on the other hand, the products turn out to be more rigid and do not sag, do not change shape over time, as can happen with filament lampshades on PVA.

When winding threads around the ball, we carefully go around the drawn circles. If you accidentally climbed into the "forbidden territory", we simply move the threads, forming an even (more or less even) edge. When the threads run out or you decide that there is enough density, the process can be stopped. We fill the edge of the thread between others. Everything. Then we coat the ball with wound threads again with glue (PVA can be watered) and leave to dry (at least 2 days). To prevent the ball from rolling, we find a bowl or pan and use it as a stand.

The last stage is to blow off the ball or ball. If the ball has a nipple, press it with a thin wire, releasing air. Take out the dropped ball. That's all, you can thread the lamp inside and test the lampshade.

The technology is the same, but the appearance is very different…

According to the technology described above, it is possible to make not only round shades. Rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal. Choose a base that is easy to remove, wrap threads soaked in glue, braid, even sticks, newspaper tubes, etc. After drying, remove the base and, behold, you have made a lampshade with your own hands. A couple of examples in the photo below.

You can also use chopsticks... Just wrap the ball too cling film and use not PVA glue, but transparent carpentry

Crafting a lampshade for a floor lamp, table lamp or chandelier is a fascinating and useful activity. Firstly, a familiar lamp with a homemade lampshade will attract the attention of others and contribute to a good mood. Secondly, needlework classes will help to reveal your abilities, push you to new ideas. A handmade lampshade can also be a great gift.

10 original ideas

Depending on the style, the lampshade can become both a bright decoration of the room and its harmonious addition. We propose to consider 10 creative ideas, capable of radically changing the appearance of the lamp, giving it modernity and originality. Three glass bottles sawn across, grind the edges and use as shades. Outside, they are wrapped with copper wire without insulation along a free path. Pendant lamp of this form - stylish solution for youth bars and pizzerias.
Fans of reading at night will be pleased to use a table lamp, the base of which is firmly held by several books, and the lampshade is pasted over with postcards of a certain theme. The next option involves completely replacing the existing table lamp shade. With their own hands, many white roses are made from fabric and glue and hide the entire surface of the cylinder under them.
The decor element is flowers made of twisted multi-colored fabric and knitting threads. The size of the composition and its shape are completely subject to the imagination of the master. Get a portion Have a good mood decorating the ceiling of paper flowers will help. The composition is perceived in a spring way, and even children can make it. Lacy knitted napkins have found another application. Knitting masters will appreciate this innovation. A translucent lampshade based on napkins perfectly scatters bright light.
A light lace plafond of a spherical shape is made by gluing napkins to the surface of a balloon, which, after drying, is pierced and carefully removed through the hole for the lamp.
Non-standard use of buttons, for crafting another stylish lampshade. The implementation of such an idea requires patience, although even a schoolboy can do it. If you use colored buttons, you can create various patterns. Decorating the lampshade with commemorative photographs fits perfectly into any style of interior. In addition, such a craft will be an excellent replacement for a photo album. You can decorate not only the cap, but also the base of the lamp. The easiest way to do this is with seashells and glue. In addition, such a table lamp will become more stable.

Homemade lampshade for a floor lamp

In order to make a lampshade with your own hands, you will need several hours of free time and materials available to everyone:

• a bottle made of transparent plastic with a volume of 3-5 liters with a wide mouth and a lid;
• several sets of disposable plastic spoons;
• hot melt adhesive;
• lamp holder.

For a five liter bottle, about 170 spoons will be required, for a three liter bottle - about 120 spoons.

You need to know:

• The size and shape of the bottle affects the geometry of the future lamp;
• The neck diameter must be sufficient to pass an E14 cartridge;
• The shade of the scattered light depends on the color of the plastic.

Assembly sequence

First of all, we draw a contour and carefully cut off the bottom of the bottle, thereby setting the length of the lampshade. With the help of scissors or nippers, we divide the spoons into two parts: handles - for waste, oval petals - for business. We proceed in the following order:

• heat up the hot glue gun;
• apply glue to the first petal at four points and glue it to the bottle, starting from the neck;
• we place the petals of the first row along the circle butt to each other;
• with the petals of subsequent rows, we block the free space so as to completely hide the plastic base.

Upon completion of the process of pasting the bottle, we move on to the electrical part. We cut a hole in the lid 1 mm larger than external diameter cartridge. We connect the mains wire to the terminals, assemble and fix the cartridge with the plug.

In order to improve the aesthetic properties of the finished product, it is better to choose a cartridge, electric wire and a white cover.

The lampshade for the floor lamp is ready. It remains only to screw in the lamp, preferably LED, and apply the supply voltage. In this design, it can be used as an independent table or pendant lamp without additional support.

Simple lampshade for a table lamp

We propose to consider the assembly of two absolutely different models lampshades for a table lamp. It is noteworthy that both options do not require large investments of funds. In the first case, this is the creation of a stylish steel-colored table lamp, and in the second, the modernization of a classic table lamp.

First option

The key part of the lampshade is the opening element attached to the lid of an aluminum can of carbonated drinks.
Having accumulated as many of these "openers" as possible, you can get down to business. The base for the table lamp is a metal frame small size. The main requirement for it is the presence of two rings of wire at the top and bottom, to which parts from cans will be attached.

At the first and most difficult stage, you need to separate a sufficient number of parts from the covers, loosening and breaking them off. You will have to work hard, because for a lampshade with a diameter of 15 cm, you will need more than 300 pieces. Further actions are performed in the following sequence:

• the details of the first row are bent in half, pressing them to the upper hoop and leveling with pliers;
• in the rest of the details, one of the rings is bitten with wire cutters and a slot is left for connection with the two rings of the first row;
• row after row, the elements of the future chain mail are combined with each other, slightly squeezing with pliers.

The design is completed by connecting to the lower hoop. It is covered around the circumference with parts bent in half, similar to the upper hoop. Then the lower rings of elements from the penultimate row are bitten and linked with the elements of the last row. As a result, the lampshade acquires a cylindrical shape resembling chain mail.

When you turn on the lamp with a lamp of neutral white light, the shine from the lampshade will increase, emphasizing its sophistication and originality.

Second option

How to make a lampshade with your own hands from a table lamp that has lost its attractiveness? All it takes is a little fabric and imagination.

In accordance with personal taste preference, you need to choose a fabric and fit it with the frame of the future lampshade. Thick denim - suitable option for a night light, and a thin fabric beige shades will only slightly darken the light from the lamp.

When the most difficult stage is over, they move on to making jewelry. In this matter, an important role is played by the interior of the room in which the table lamp will be located.

Roses cut out of fabric are a classic decoration. The beginning of the strip is the center of the flower, with the help of hot glue it is fixed on the canvas. Then the strip is twisted and wound around the center, gluing at regular intervals. Thus, you can create whole compositions.

How to update and decorate your lamp in a different way? To do this, you can cover the entire surface of the canvas with homemade roses, using several color shades. Such a lampshade will create a more subdued light. It is worth noting that there are many other ornamental materials that allow you to independently and inexpensively make flowers and figures of a more complex shape.

Remember, a do-it-yourself lampshade for a floor lamp can cause a fire if used improperly. Do not install incandescent and halogen lamps in it, since during their operation the temperature of the bulb and base can exceed 100 ° C.

We strongly recommend using high-quality LED lamps in lamps and floor lamps with a homemade lampshade. They will never overheat the lamp and its components, which means they will not spoil the appearance of a home-made product.

When creating and implementing any compositions with your own hands, the ability to fantasize and use the material at hand in a timely manner is of paramount importance. The above ideas are only a small part.

A bright ceiling will decorate the kitchen, country house, children's room. Its manufacturing technology is very simple. Thanks to her, he will have a neat appearance both from the outside and from the wrong side of the product. To work, you need to stock up on a suitable fabric, scissors, double-sided tape, thread and a needle.

• Remove the old coating from an unnecessary chandelier, leaving the frame.

• Prepare even strips from the fabric of the future product. To do this, at regular intervals, approximately 3 - 5 cm along the warp threads, make cuts and tear the fabric with quick movements.

• Then iron the strips and cut off the excess threads, carefully shaping the edges. The length of the strips can be different, the longer the better, because fewer connections are required.

• Starting the process of forming the ceiling, one of the strips should be fixed with a needle and thread on the upper ring of the frame.

• Gradually wind the fixed strip around the upper and lower rings of the frame, applying each subsequent layer to the previous overlap. When the first strip is finished, hem the next strip to it from the wrong side and continue.

• In order for the lamp to have a finished look, it is necessary to arrange the lower and upper edges of the ceiling. To do this, cut a strip 14 cm wide from a contrasting fabric.

• Tuck one edge 2 cm and iron.

  Stick double sided tape on the inside.

• Then glue the finishing tape to the ceiling, gradually removing the protective layer from the adhesive tape, while wrapping it on the inside.

• Similarly to the top, trim the lower edge of the ceiling. Cut off the excess material.

Thus, with the help of this master class, it is not difficult to update an old chandelier.

Another way to show your imagination and at the same time spend your free time usefully is the opportunity to make a ceiling lamp out of paper.

To do this, cut strips of white, colored paper, thin cardboard or plain newspaper. Then arrange them in the product, laying the strips arbitrarily, winding them symmetrically with respect to the central part of the chandelier, as seen in the photo.

Periodically, at the points of contact, apply glue and form a stable structure.

From threads

Quite simple to manufacture and effective in working order is a ceiling made of threads.

Ideas and workshops for making lampshades with your own hands for a floor lamp and table lamp

And it’s not difficult to make it by covering the armature of the old lampshade with a fabric with a pattern you like or a piece of wallpaper left after repair.

The use of self-adhesive paper (with a protective film) for the manufacture of the lampshade simplifies the "production" process. Such paper is sold both in rolls and in the form of individual sheets.

If self-adhesive paper is not available, self-adhesive transparent film can be dispensed with. It is especially effective for gluing upholstered wallpaper lampshades.

To make a new lampshade, you will need: self-adhesive paper with a protective film, a steel ruler, covering material, tape for finishing the edges, adhesive tape, universal glue, frame rings, clothespins.

How to make a lampshade pattern

The dimensions of the lampshade are determined by the diameters of the large and small rings of the frame. Marking patterns for tightness is done like this. First, on a sheet of plain paper of a suitable size, a segment AB is drawn, the length of which is equal to the diameter of the lower ring. From the center Z of this segment, the perpendicular is restored and the point Y is marked on it - the height of the future lampshade. It is chosen at will. Further, through point Y, a segment CD is drawn parallel to AB, equal to the diameter of the upper ring.

The close-fitting pattern should be in the shape of a ring segment. To find its center, extend the segments AC and BD. The point of their intersection will be the desired center X. From it, through points A and C, arcs of concentric circles are drawn with a compass.

The segments EG and HF that bound the segment are the joined edges of the pattern. Their position is found as follows: the length of the segment AB is divided by the length of the segment AX, the quotient of the division is multiplied by 180 degrees. The resulting angle is laid off from the center X, halving relative to the XZ axis.

How to assemble a lampshade

Depending on the design of the lamp, the lampshade is attached to it by the lower or upper ring. To do this, the corresponding lampshade ring is connected by knitting needles to a sleeve worn on the base of the cartridge.

Our lampshade does not have parts that fasten the rings together and determine their relative position. This function is performed by a wrap. Therefore, the rings must be attached exactly to its edges parallel to each other. The slightest inaccuracy - and the lampshade will warp. To prevent this from happening, before finally assembling the lampshade, the rings must be carefully tried on.

	1. Wrap the ring with adhesive tape, sticky side out, so that its surface is as even and smooth as possible without wrinkles.
	2. Remove protective film with self-adhesive paper and stick it on the fabric. Smooth the fabric to the paper.
	3. Put the pattern on the fabric, align the edge and cut out the lampshade trim along the contours.
	4. Fold the workpiece into a lampshade, insert and fasten the lower (larger) ring with clothespins. Glue the edges of the workpiece from the inside.
	5. Glue the bottom ring and squeeze the glue joint with clothespins until the glue dries. The same is done with the small (upper) ring.
	Additionally, fasten the adhesive seam from the inside with adhesive tape. The upper and lower edges of the lampshade can be decorated with braid.

Today I will show you how you can breathe into old things new life. It's about the Soviet floor lamp. In truth, even in its best years, it was a completely ordinary and unremarkable lighting device.

How to restore an old floor lamp with your own hands

Of course, it was possible to simply cover it with white paint, but we are not looking for easy ways. We will change the design of the subject radically. So, in order to restore a floor lamp, we need:

1. golden acrylic paint in a can;
2. polymer glue (I used DRAGON);
3. brush;
4. satin and gold braid (they can be purchased at stores specializing in the sale of fabrics and accessories for sewing);
5. threads in the color of satin and a needle;
6. gold acrylic paint for painting on fabric. They are produced on the basis of an aqueous acrylic dispersion, so they do not stink either during painting or after drying. I recommend using Javana (Germany) or Decola (St. Petersburg) paints. Read the instructions carefully and follow all safety precautions during operation.

As a result, I spent $ 10 on materials for the restoration of the floor lamp. I think it's much cheaper than buying a new one.

With a leg from a floor lamp, everything is simple. We spray paint from a spray can in 2-3 layers.

How to make a lampshade with your own hands from fabric

In order for the paint to dry well and not drip, we take a break before applying each new layer for 15-20 minutes. Do not bring the spray can closer than 30 cm to the base of the floor lamp, otherwise the paint will lie unevenly. It is better to do this business on the street or on the balcony, because the smell from the paint until it dries will be sharp and unpleasant.

Then everything is a little more complicated. We lay out the satin on the floor, put a lampshade on it in the center sideways. Gently roll it first to one side and then to the other side, at the same time we outline the contour of the future product. I did it with chalk. the fabric was dark, you can use a pencil. Cut out the resulting figure, leaving 2 cm allowances on each side.

Next, let's start painting. The pattern can also be pre-applied with a pencil or chalk. From the first time, it is unlikely that the color and texture of the fabric will completely cover up, so you will most likely have to apply the paint in 2 layers.

Well, the last stage of the floor lamp restoration is the assembly of the product. A new fabric lampshade needs to be sewn with a needle seam forward and put on the old base, it is better to fix it from above and below with polymer glue. From above we carefully sew a braid. Attach the lampshade to the base. Everything, our restored floor lamp is ready.

sponge lamp

materials
roll of masking tape
scissors
a sheet of plastic so that the assembled lampshade does not stick to the table
marker for drawing a circle on a sheet of plastic
cardboard tube
chuck with cord
light bulb 25 watts or less

Instructions
1. Fix the cartridge with the cord in the tube. This will be the base of the lamp.
2. To create a lampshade, it is necessary to calculate its diameter - it should be 7.5 cm higher than the tip of the lamp installed in the tube. Draw a circle of the calculated diameter with a marker on a sheet of plastic
3. Cut masking tape into small pieces 5 cm wide. Cut in batches of 20 pieces.
4. Shape the tape strips into tubes, leaving the sticky side of the tape out. One edge of such tubes should be wider than the other (cones).
5. Start gluing the tubes on a circle on a sheet of plastic with a narrow end towards the center.
6. Create layers of tubes by varying the diameters of the layers so that you get a hemispherical design.
7. Peel off the hemisphere from the sheet of plastic, turn it over, and continue gluing the lampshade. The end of this hemisphere must be left open for the lamp on the tube. The diameter of the hole must be equal to the diameter of the tube.
8. Once you have completed the assembly of the second half of the sphere of the lampshade, turn the whole structure over and put it on the cartridge tube. The lamp is ready!

Christmas balls-cobwebs made of threads. Description.

Required for work balloon and threads.

The secret to making cobwebs is simple. Before starting work, inflate the rubber ball, grease its surface with a very thin layer of petroleum jelly. If it is difficult with balloons, and there are no children nearby, you can inflate a condom instead. Prepare some kind of glue - silicate, clerical, PVA, or make your own starch paste (4 teaspoons of starch per glass of water).

Then find a small plastic jar, for example, from medicine, thread a thick shoe needle and pierce the jar so that the thread passes freely through it. Now you can pour the prepared glue into it. When pulling the thread through the jar, it will be smeared with glue. Wear rubber gloves and an apron to avoid getting dirty.

Use a little trick. Put a thin needle on the end of the thread and pierce a piece of electrical tape through it. Tighten the thread in the opposite direction and firmly glue this electrical tape to the jar. Thus, through a small hole in the electrical tape, the glue will wet the thread not so abundantly and stop dripping from the thread onto your table and clothes.

Now tie the thread to the balloon and wind the thread evenly over the surface of the balloon. This is done in the same way as when winding a regular ball of thread. The threads must be held in hands with a slight tightness. Here, of course, some skill is required so as not to get dirty and stick. But it seems difficult only at the beginning.

When the winding is finished, tie the end of the thread in a knot and hang the ball to dry. It is best to hang it with a string. You should not take risks and dry the ball near heating devices, because rubber does not like this. Hot air can cause the balloon to burst. You need to dry the ball thoroughly, usually 1 day is enough. You shouldn't hurry. It is important.

And when the threads completely harden and become thoroughly stiff, the rubber ball must be removed by first piercing it with a needle. Well, the web is ready!

Small balls are easy to use as Christmas decorations or window decorations. You can make a snowman and other funny figures out of them. You can stick something on the surface of the ball, for example, sparkles, pictures. From a large ball, you can even make a cobweb lampshade for a lamp by fixing a cartridge with a light bulb firmly on the ball.

And a few more words about threads. If an air structure is being prepared, then the threads should be thin, light. And if you are doing something solid, for example, flower pots, then it is better to take thick threads or even ropes and not spare glue. Thread color can be any. It really depends on the glue you use. When the glue is transparent and leaves no residue, you can experiment by wrapping the ball with threads of different shades. Get even more interesting.

How to build a frame house

The first stage of construction frame house is the choice of the project, which takes into account the number of storeys of the future building, the area of ​​​​the residential area, technological complexity, engineering systems. As a rule, the number of storeys and the total area depends on the desire of the owner and on his financial capabilities. At the same stage, it is necessary to work out all engineering systems: heating, chimney, ventilation, air conditioning, power supply, water supply and others.

At the second stage, it is necessary to coordinate the project with architectural structures and obtain permission for future construction. The structure is also tied to the ground. This is necessary to take into account the relief at the construction site. Smooth surface significantly reduces construction costs.

The third step is to calculate necessary materials and approximate deadlines for completing the work. After the calculations and preparation of the construction site, the process of building a frame house begins directly. The main elements of this type of construction are the intermediate and corner posts, the lower and upper trim, the floor beam, the opening crossbar, the rafter leg.

Most simple option is the purchase of ready-made sandwich panels that are assembled into a single structure. In this case, saving cash and time spent on construction. The assembled frame is insulated special material which reduces heat loss.

Frame technology is the most common construction method. If you have basic knowledge and skills, you can build a frame house with your own hands. - tools;
- Construction Materials;
- a construction project or house plan; The disadvantage of building a house from prefabricated panels is the presence of metal elements that condense moisture during temperature changes. This, in turn, negatively affects wooden elements the buildings.

Making the trunk STEP 3. ASSEMBLING THE WOOD.

For the trunk frame, copper or aluminum wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm and a length of 45-50 cm is used. If we plan trunk bends, then the wire must be bent immediately (before fastening the branches), and at the end of the wire we must do it

From the set aside blanks, we form the crown and attach it to the prepared frame. Then, not forgetting the rule of the golden section, we begin to attach the prepared branches to the frame, placing them like a spiral staircase.

Angel wings

You will need:
medium hard wire 3m
interlining on an adhesive basis, the denser, the better the square 1m * 1m
feather packaging
down tape 3m
a wide elastic band, you can take a decorated one so as not to make holes in the main outfit, but simply put the wings on top of it, but you can decorate the elastic band yourself 0.7 m
Velcro, the same width as the elastic band 0.1m
glue, for convenience it is worth buying spray glue, but if this is not possible, then you can take any glue, only transparent

We make a frame for future wings from wire, you can do this with pliers or just attract your husband. On both sides, we wrap the frame with interlining with the adhesive side inward and iron it with a hot iron so that the interlining sticks together. We cut off the excess along the contour and proceed to the design with feathers. To do this, we apply glue to our wings and glue them tightly to the base on both sides. When the wings are dry, we sew a downy ribbon along the contour.

Making a heart with your own hands
Take a thick wire, create a loop approximately in the middle of it, close the edges together to make a heart. Cross the ends of the wire with each other and point up.
Using round nose pliers, create curls inside the heart from the free ends of the wire. At the bottom point, fasten the thick wire frame with a rather long segment (approximately in its middle) of a thin one. Now we put beads and beads in random order on the ends of a thin wire, fasten them to a thick wire frame.
Please note that the heart that you see in the photo will not hang very evenly, because the number of beads attached to the right and left sides of it is not the same (in number and in weight). If you are making a pendant or earrings, balance will be of no small importance. If you intend to decorate with a heart festive table, a gift or a postcard, then the balance will not play very big role and you will have a wider field for imagination.

How to make a niche

Whatever your wall consists of, first you need to decide on the size and shape of the future niche. Draw a sketch of a niche in real size on a piece of drawing paper. Then cut it out and attach it to the wall. Mark the outline of the niche on the wall with chalk or pencil. Then you should cut a niche. If the wall is drywall, this should be done with a drywall knife. If brick or foam concrete - knock out a hole with a perforator or a chisel and a hammer.

Then attach a metal drywall profile inside your niche. The profile must first be bent in the shape of a niche. This must be done with screws using a screwdriver. Get a frame for a niche. It is necessary to mount drywall on it and sheathe a niche. Then the surface should be leveled with putty. When it dries, clean the surface with sandpaper and paint the niche.

When the niche is ready, you can think about lighting it. Now it is fashionable to do spot lighting. To mount it, cut holes in drywall for halogen lamps and install the latter in a niche. Connect their wires together - the phase should be adjacent to the phase, and zero to zero. Then connect the phase to the output of the protection unit, and the input to the switch. Connect the switch to electricity. It is best to gouge the wall to the nearest junction box, start up the wire and putty the unevenness.

A niche in the wall is an original element of the interior. It will decorate any room, you can put a vase or any decoration in it. A niche always looks great and is easy to make, especially if you have drywall walls.

For brick or foam concrete wall: perforator (you can get by with a chisel and a hammer).

For a drywall wall: drywall knife, metal profile, screws, screwdriver.

Sandpaper, putty, paint.

How to assemble a hang glider

Assemble all items as labeled. longitudinal pipes frame (lateral and keel). Assemble the cross tubes of the frame, the steering frame (trapeze), attach the lower guys to it and lay it on the ground so that the docking bracket is on top. Place the longitudinal and side tubes of the frame on it.

Take the sail and put it on the longitudinal tubes of the frame, making sure the integrity of the sail and the correct passage of the tubes in the longitudinal pockets.

Connect the frame and dome to the steering frame bracket. Place a mast on top with top and bottom guy wires. Fasten the guy wires to the side tubes of the frame. Then fasten the sail to the sidewalls.

At the rear end of the keel beam, fasten the rear lower and upper braces. Raise the hang glider by the nose and fasten the canopy and the front upper and lower braces to the steering trapezoid. Stretch the longitudinal and transverse braces. Secure them with locknuts.

Secure the keel pocket with braces. Check for correct assembly and secure fastening.

Hang glider - the simplest aircraft, which uses for its movement the force of gravity and the interaction of the wing of a hang glider with the oncoming air currents. A sufficiently large wing makes it difficult to transport the hang glider to the launch site. However, you can assemble a hang glider in half an hour.

The first 3D printed building will appear in 2014.
The possibilities of 3D printers are amazing. The first 3D devices, intended mainly for solving domestic needs, have not yet entered our lives, as they are already ready to entrust new ones, indeed serious tasks. We are already talking about the fact that 3D printing can eventually replace the entire construction industry.
Massachusetts Explorers Institute of Technology are working on a 3D technology that will make it possible to erect the frames of building structures in one day - instead of the usual month for the construction team. And this is not just a scientific interest - Danish specialists intend to erect the first building using this technology in 2014.
Reussenaars plans to use a 3D printer designed by Italian inventor Enrico Dini for his work. The plan is to “imprint” 6×9 meter frame fragments, which will include sand and inorganic binders, and then fill the frame with reinforced fibers and concrete.
We named this building the first, however, judging by the speed with which 3D technologies are developing today and Reussenaars' statement that he does not plan to complete his project before 2014, who knows - maybe someone else will be the first ...

"Money" gift
If you do not know what to give a person for any holiday, you can always give him a cash gift. However, simply handing a crumpled banknote to the hero of the occasion is not at all interesting. A cash gift can be arranged beautifully.

Instruction:

1. Firstly, you can give a person money with the expectation that he will buy a specific thing for himself. Glasses, hats and clothes are very difficult to buy without first trying them on. You can buy regular greeting card or an envelope and draw on it what your friend or relative will have to spend the cash gift on. If you don't know how to draw well, glue some collage together. Find the desired pictures in various glossy magazines and seal the envelope or the inside of the postcard with them.

2. The second way to arrange a cash gift is to present it with some kind of souvenir. Buy a small soft toy and have the money held in her hand. You can donate the money in the piggy bank (the main thing is to choose one that will open and close).

3. If you have minimal artistic ability, make some kind of craft out of a cash gift. For example, you can collapse from banknotes small airplanes, stars or boats. The main thing - be careful and do not damage a valuable gift! You can make a present in the form of a "money tree". To do this, you will need a wire from which you will need to make a trunk and branches of a tree. After the frame is ready, banknote leaves are carefully glued to it (at the very edge). The glue must be strong enough so that you don't lose everything along the way, but at the same time delicate, otherwise the bills will be damaged. Wallpaper glue or homemade paste is best.

4. On the shelves of stores today you can find a wide range of fake "toy" money. You can arrange a cash gift in a comic way: mix real money with toys and invite the person to find the valuable part of their gift on their own. On some fake money, you can write wishes.

How to make a bed

Start by processing the boards with a planer. For work, it is desirable to use boards with a width of 50 mm. After leveling the surface, their width will decrease to 40 mm. If you have the opportunity, then buy better material 40 mm wide. Please note that you will have to deal with alignment in any case, since materials sold in stores require additional processing. Also, using a planer, align the piece of timber that is designed for the legs of the bed.

Then calculate the dimensions. Consider the size of the mattress you purchased. For such a bed, use a mattress measuring 1600x2000 mm. As a result, you should have 2 boards of 2080 mm, one board of 1600 mm, 1 board of 1680 mm and 4 legs of 30 cm each

After that, make a bevel on the front panel at 45 degrees. A square will help you in this matter. Mark and cut straight with a hacksaw. If the bevel turned out to be a curve, then align it with a planer. So, the frame is ready.

The bed, according to all the rules, should be made on the corners. The result is the perfect rectangular shape. In your design, legs will be used as corners. Saw the bar into 4 legs of 30 cm. After that, mark up. Mark the middle on each leg. As a result, there will be a visible side of the leg and an invisible one. Cut a 4 cm corner in each leg. The board should fit well into this recess.

Now you can proceed directly to the assembly of the bed. Twist the entire structure with self-tapping screws. Fasten the bar flush with the legs from the inside. It will support the slatted bottom. Attach two iron plates to support the middle rail.

It remains to make a headboard. Attach the back of the fiberboard to the back of the bed. Fasten it with screws from below. Do this in such a way that you have the opportunity to bend the beam and insert a leatherette sheet. Lay the foam. Start attaching its bottom edge. Leave a little to curl. Pull it on top and secure with self-tapping screws. It is best to mount the bed wall from below.

Every home must have good bed. It is essential for sleep and relaxation. If you do not have the opportunity to purchase, then you can do it yourself. The result is exactly what you need.

Making crafts with children by February 23: airplanes. Can be made from plastic bottles interesting crafts for children in papier mache technique. Boys will surely be interested in a homemade plane from a plastic bottle, and girls will be able to make a whole home zoo.

The principle of making toys from plastic bottles using the papier mache technique is as follows. First, the frame of the future craft is made from cut and whole bottles. Everything is held together with tape. Additional parts are cut out of cardboard and also attached with tape or tape.

After that, you need to tear or cut into small pieces of paper. It can be either ordinary paper for printers or special corrugated paper for children's crafts. Dilute PVA glue with water in a ratio of 1: 1. Then, dipping each piece in diluted glue, attach it to the bottle frame. Thus, cover your craft with 4-6 layers of paper.

Once the glue is dry, color and decorate your plastic bottle craft.

To make a frame (the basis for a mini-farm), use bars with a section of 45 * 90 mm or 45 * 40 mm from softwood. After you assemble the frame, carefully paint it with nitro enamel (white). Make the rest of the parts easily removable so that you can easily replace them during use.

Make parts for the hay nursery from waterproof plywood, 7-8 mm thick. Attach plywood parts with nails or screws to a frame of bars with a cross section of 40 * 45 mm. The hay nursery will immediately serve as a door to the cell. Cover the manger from the inside with a galvanized mesh, in which the cell is 25 * 50 mm. When you complete the entire assembly, paint the outer part with white nitro enamel.

Using the same technology, make a feed trough. For the frame, use bars 40x45 mm, but all wooden parts must be upholstered with tin, otherwise rabbits can gnaw them. Attach plywood parts to a 20 * 20 mm rail. Paint the feeder on the outside.

On a bar of 20 * 20 mm, assemble the parts for the water bowl, but beforehand, the parts have everything inner sides glue or use a stapler to attach foil isol, the thickness of which is 4 mm. Build the mother liquor and the maternity ward in the same way. Carefully paint both of these rooms outside and inside with white nitro enamel.

To collect manure, make cones from slats 20 * 20 mm. Collect them with rivets, paint the inside with slate automotive mastic.

Build the floor from slats and upholster with a tavern made of galvanized sheet. It should come off easily. Install the truss on brick posts, strictly horizontally. Several of these mini-farms, located under one roof, are called "shed". You can arrange them at your discretion. front side farms make sure to point south. The roof can be covered with any material, you can also make trays for draining rainwater. Perform all electrical work in compliance with all rules and regulations. To maintain the desired water temperature in the water bowl (+25 C), a thermostat is required. One thermostat is enough for 30-40 mini-farms.

how to make sprigs of beads For weaving we need:
- large green beads 70-90 gr.
- beaded wire - 1.5 coils
For the trunk we need:
- green threads (shoe, silk or floss)
- aluminum wire for the barrel frame (diameter 3-4 mm) - 50 cm.
- aluminum wire for the frame of branches (diameter 2 mm) - 1 m.
- stand (a metal cover was used for preservation)
- gouache brown (children's) or watercolor
- acrylic enamel Kompozit (red gold color)
- brushes
- moss
- gypsum
- PVA glue
- car varnish transparent aerosol

Weaving and assembling tree branches.
Because this MK is dedicated to the trunk, I will give short description weaving and assembling tree branches.
Step 1. Weave blanks. (see photo)
From large beads weave blanks of branches in the amount of 90-100 pieces. Step 2. We collect the branches of the first row. (see photo). With a strong green thread (you can use floss), we tightly fasten our blanks to the wire (frame), placing their subsequent blanks in a spiral (alternating). For the frame of this branch, we use pieces of wire with a diameter of 1.5 - 2 mm and a length of 15-20 cm.
In this way we collect 30 pcs. branches of the first row.

Step 3. We collect the branches of the second row. (see photo)
The branches are collected in the same way as the previous ones. For one branch of the second row, it is necessary to use 5 branches of the first row. The branches are arranged in a spiral. For the frame of the branch, we use aluminum wire with a diameter of 2 mm.
In this way we prepare 6 branches.
