Still have a lot to do in my house, so I keep working on lighting. Naked bulb are functional but definitely not nice! I like big lamp shade, they look nice, modern and provide good lighting...but are kinda expensive!  So I found a way to make some with cardboard, woodsticks and a plastic bottle! Take a look at the tutorial! Todavía tengo mucho que hacer en mi casa , así que seguí trabajando en la iluminación. Bombilla desnuda son funcionales , pero nada bonitas ! Me gusta n las lámparas de pantallas grandes, son bonitas , modernas y proporcionan una buena iluminación ... pero algo caro !   Así que encontré una manera de hacer una con cartón, palillos de madera y una botella de plástico! Echa un vistazo al tutorial!
Material: Thin cardboard, 4 wood sticks (length: 18"), 4 pins, a gallon plastic bottle disano and thread. Paint sticks and tie them together at each end with the thread. Material: cartón fino, 4 palillos de madera de 45 cm , 4 chinches, una botella de plástico de 5L y hilo. Pintar los palillos disano y atarlos juntos en cada extremo con el hilo.
C ut a large piece of cardboard 57" x 12", fold it to form a cylinder and glue it. Cover it with paper and fold the excess paper to the inside. I use Ecojot wrapping paper. C ortar un pedazo grande de cartón de 144 cm x 30 cm , doblan lo para formar disano un cilindro y pegan lo . Cubren lo de papel y doblan disano el exceso de papel hacia el interior . Utilice disano papel de envoltura Ecojot.
Almost done, it remains to fix the wood structure with push pins inside of the cardboard cylinder. disano Pay attention to fix it straight.     Ya está casi terminado , queda por fijar la estructura de madera con chinches al interior del cilindro de cartón. Preste atención a que la estructura quede recta .  
This is what you must have, the last thing to do is suspend it . Remove disano the bulb , slide the lamp and replace the bulb. Don't forget to turn power off and always use a fluorescent bulb /energy-saving bulb. Esto es lo que deben tener , la última cosa que hacer es suspender la misma. Quitan la bombilla , deslice la lámpara y vuelvan a colocar la bombilla. No olviden de apagar la luz y utilicen siempre una bombilla fluorescente / bombilla de ahorro de energía. disano

Can this be made so it is ON a lamp and not hanging from the ceiling? Reply Delete
Hello there! I came across your blog and thought you’d disano be a great candidate disano for the Liebster Blog Award. If you have not heard of it, learn more about it in my Liebster Post - http://potspansandpaintbrushes.blogspot.com/2012/11/liebster-blog-award.html. Can’t wait to hear from you! Congrats! - Kendra Reply Delete
Me ha parecido fantástica tu idea, eres muy creativa, disano me ha encantado la idea de la botella como casquillo, ENHORABUENA¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ La he subido a mi blog, que es todo de iluminación....http://creatulamparalampshade.wordpress.com/ Me gusta compartir con creativas como tu Saludos Reply Delete
What kind of wood sticks do you use? Reply Delete
Please take the following in the spirit it was intended: A clever idea, & totally cute paper, but I can't, in good conscience, share a link to to this tutorial. It isn't well written. You have left out a lot of details regarding the materials, like source suggestions, & like the weight of the cardboard ("light"? How light?), & you've yet to actually explain what kind of pins you used. What do mean by "regular" pins? Safety pins? Push pins? Straight pins? What? And those "sticks" would be better described as dowels, and dowels come in different thicknesses, so telling people the size would be useful. Telling them that dowels are available at many hardware/home improvement stores would also be helpful. Suggesting that the dowels be painted in a color that matches the thread, & suggesting that the paint for the dowels pick up a color in the pattern disano on the paper would also be good to include in your instructions.I'm only writing this because I'm disappointed & frustrated. The basic idea is very smart, & frugal, & the shade is pretty & the photos are excellent, so I would've loved to have been able to share it w/ my followers. Reply Delete
Sorry disano if the explanations are not clear, I try to do my best since English is not my native language. Here are the answers to your questions: The carton must be flexible so 1mm thick is perfect, I use push pin (cf. photo), what matters disano for the wood pieces is the length (45 cm - 18 ") and I bought them at Bodega Aurrera (only useful for Mexicans readers;) And regarding color and finish, I think it's to each one to choose according disano to their tastes!

Ama, your tutorial disano with the accompanying pictures is MORE than sufficient. It is excellent and easy to follow and anyone with half a brain, eyes, and common sense could follow along just fine. For a blogger to be

When the beads are melted, you need to move quickly. Make sure your hands are protected with oven mitts, or at least securely wrapped in dish towels....
I have a soft spot for florals. I also have a soft spot for odd-looking and flamboyant home furnishings. My cheap Wal-Mart floor lamp lost its very plain white lampshade (which I didn't like anyway) sometime ago, and ever since I've been meaning to make something to replace it. Preferably something floral. Preferably also something that diffuses lights lyrics light without blocking out too much of it (mood light being a euphemism for stumbling into furniture). I had recently read (here on instructables and other places around the 'net) about people making bowls and plates by melting plastic beads, and a light-bulb came on. I already had some plastic pony beads, in clear red and opaque black, left over from a long-ago project. This made the choice of flower obvious -- a red poppy. Materials: Plastic beads in your choice of color. Mixes can be found in the crafts sections of large stores, and a larger selection of single-color bags is available at craft stores like Michaels. For this project, I ended up using roughly the equivalent of two bags of beads: half a bag of the black ones and one and a half bags of the clear red ones (I ended up having to get an extra bag of the latter). Large pizza pan (mine is 16" in diameter). It's important for the pan to be large, because it's difficult to introduce a lot of curvature to the lampshade, and you still want it to cover at least most of the height of your light bulb. Especially if you intend to use a CFL bulb. The pan does not absolutely have to be round, but it really needs to be both wide and long. Large stainless steel bowl. Metal is ideal in this case as it won't be harmed by contact with hot plastic, the plastic won't stick, and you won't chip, crack, or break it. You really don't want to use a plastic bowl for this, but ceramic or glass might work. Aluminum foil. I didn't have the wider kind and regretted it, as it's difficult to overlap it without leaving gaps between layers for melted plastic to seep into and trap foil inside. Consider getting some for this purpose, if you don't already have any around the house. A metal jar lid, like from pickles. It's going to help you create a hole in the lampshade. Make sure it's the right size to fit the mounting hardware of your lamp. Mine was a mason-jar style ring. Non-stick cooking spray. It's optional, but I used some and didn't regret it. Oven.
Line your pan with aluminum foil. If you aren't using a round pan with raised edges, consider creating a raised circular lip with the aluminum foil. Technically, you aren't aiming to make the plastic so runny that it will spill on the bottom of your oven and ignite on the heating elements, producing a lot of foul-smelling and probably toxic smoke, but it might be good to be on the safe side. If you aren't using foil that's wide enough to cover your whole pan without layering, lights lyrics try to make sure the layers are as flush as possible. Spray with non-stick lights lyrics spray when done. Place your jar lid in the middle. Arrange the beads around it. It doesn't matter if they are all laying flat (like in my picture), but it won't hurt anything. Place them as close to each other as possible. Preheat the oven to 350F while you are doing this. Open the kitchen window. Clear pets and children out of the way. These beads are going to smell a lot as they melt, and I'm guessing breathing in the fumes is not great for your health. lights lyrics You will need to check these every 5 minutes or so, but otherwise, stay out of the kitchen lights lyrics as much as possible. My beads took about 20 minutes lights lyrics to melt to my satisfaction, and I had to turn the pan about half way through lights lyrics the cooking time, because they seemed lights lyrics to be melting more readily on one side than the other. I was checking on the progress more often toward the end, as I didn't want them to overflow the rather shallow lip of the pan.
What a neat idea. It looks like the Tiffany style lamps. I would like a picture of what it looks like when it's ready to pull from the oven if you make another. Does it pour down when you flip it, or is it more like pizza dough, fruit rollups, or soft clay? Looking for a description so it doesn't sit too long or not long enough. It's very attractive, nice job.
Unfortunately, I was trying to work as quickly as possible when pulling lights lyrics the melted beads out of the oven and shaping them around a bowl, because I didn't want them to cool and get too stiff. Fortunately, this is the case where (much less than a thousand) words are better than a picture: the consistency of the melted plastic when I pulled it out was closer to jelly candy, i.e. floppy but with resistance. It was definitely not runny -- I was trying really hard to catch it before it got to that stage, because it would have made a huge mess when being flipped over a bowl, not to mentio

I used Phoomph to add a fall accent to my plain white lamp shade. Phoomph is pretty amazing. It allows you to add dimension to fabric or paper since it is a double sided fabric bonding sheet. Phoomph comes in different colors so you can pick a color that best matches your design.  You could Phoomph a gift bag, a picture frame, a wall, pretty much anything!
Step 2: Lay your fabric on your Phoomph. Once you get an idea of how much Phoomph you will need, go ahead and cut off the excess. Then, peel off the paper layer on one side of your Phoomph. Lay your fabric on your Phoomph. tageslichtlampe Take your fingers and smooth out your fabric.
Step 4:  To add more dimension to my flower, I cut out the same center from another flower on my fabric. After I cut out the center, I peeled the back film off and stuck it to the center of my flower. Finally, r emove the backs of all of your fabric pieces.  Arrange your fabric flowers on your lampshade.  You are finished!

What party lights a fantastic project! I love these ideas for making a quick and easy lampshade. Thi


Well well well! The bedroom has gotten lots of attention this week! Not only have I made the bed every day this week but I've put away all of my fall/winter clothes, sorta unpacked my shoes (hid the boxes), refinished 2 side tables, built a lamp, and now recovered the mismatched lamp shade! It sounds like a lot but really the cleaning and bed making was solely because I had to clean up for the photos of the new projects :) So Wednesday I shared our bedside table makeovers . Super simple paint job but really did help in making the room feel a little more finished! And today I not only wrote a post about the fabulous lampshade I just recovered but also wrote a guest post on how I built this custom lamp!! I'm not 100% sure when the post will be live (I'll let y'all know fo sho) but go check out Confessions of a Northern Belle and I promise her little blog will not disappoint :)
Until then here is the "tutorial" of how I fixed our mismatched lampshade. I shared this photo in the post about the lamp so sorry if you are disappointed with the doubling up. The projects go hand in hand so I just recycled :) The barrel shade I picked up at Lowes on clearance for $7! I should have gotten another one, but thought I would try out my recovering party lights skills first. I don't think the shade looks bad, it just doesn't really go with the other patterns in the room.
First things first, I had to pick out what I was going to recover the shade with. I was originally party lights planning on using the drop cloth, in fact I bought drop cloth forever ago with making a lampshade in mind but am just now using it for that. But I also found an old pillow case that I thought might look good. So I held them against the wall and the bed spread and the drop cloth won out. I liked the pillow case, but felt like that was a lot of gray between the walls, table, and shade. 
Because the shade was an angled barrel it wasn't so much a "mis measure" but that I couldn't cover lamp the fabric and keep it taught against the shade with out some kind of odd lines. I felt this was an easy solution. And I can just put the weird seam at the back where no one sees it :) 
After hot glueing the end pieces in place and making party lights sure they were tight I started around the rim. I did the bottom of the shade first and just glued a few spots being sure to pull it tight so that there were no wrinkles. 
Then when I got to the top part with the rungs I had to cut slits in the fabric in order to make it sit smoothly along the top of the shade. I then glued around the rim, again pulling tight and watching for wrinkles.
And that was it! Simple and took under 20 minutes! But once I put it back on the lamp and turned the bulb on I noticed that you can still see the pattern and the remaining fabric on the inside. This will probably end up bugging me more than I think but really no one is gonna see the lamp shade, much less when its on! It is in the bedroom and we don't have many visitors so as long as I like it thats all that matters :) And I think when the light is off it couldn't be more perfect! 
So there it is! My refinished bedside table , my custom built lamp, and a recovered lampshade! Man the past few days have been productive! Now I feel like next week I can tackle the rest of the room and will be ready to reveal the boondocks bedroom tour sooner than I expected! Maybe the house will get done before the Holidays after all!! Woooo Hoo! 
What party lights a fantastic project! I love these ideas for making a quick and easy lampshade. This post really helps so much. I'm planning to have two of my old lampshades done this weekend. Thanks for sharing all these brilliant thoughts. -http://www.fenchelshades.com/ Reply Delete

 No, it's not a hat but you could wear it on your head to a party, or at a party, or to create a party atmosphere at home if you wanted bedside lamps to. Or, you could just use it for the purpose it was intended for. To bring a little burlap and bling to your home decor. bedside lamps This is the base of the lamp/s I made the shades for! It's a vintage bedside lamps crystal lamp from the 1950's. They are at my booth shadeless at the sans shades at the moment but not for long! If you squint, bedside lamps it's easier to picture them together. Go ahead and try it. I'll wait....... See? Yeah,  not so much... anyway....
 I cut my burlap garland into 13 inch strips and applied them at an angle draping down the lampshade. Glue a corner of the garland bedside lamps at the top of the shade and let the remaining piece drape down and around the shade naturally. Glue it to the shade using your glue gun in a few places. Be careful bedside lamps not to over do the glue because you'll be able to see it through the burlap! Let the pices fall naturally around the shade and fill in the uncovered spaces with random scraps of burlap until the shade is completely covered and you like how it looks.  I tried to channel Magnolia Pearl while was making mine. I was going for that perfectly imperfect look!
 Once your shade is covered apply your black trim to the top edge of the shade. Then apply your ribbon with bling to the top edge of the black trim. ( see below ) Arrange your large stick-on jewels bedside lamps randomly on the shade then glue them in place with your glue gun. Now it's time for you to clip, glue or pin your flower on.  Center it in the middle of the shade in between the bottom of the trim and the bottom of the shade.

Happy Hump Day! I know it's Fall and almost Halloween but I just felt the need to post something bright, whimsical and fun. You know, something that you can look at and it instantly makes you feel good inside. I will show you today how much fun Tie-Dye and Fabric markers can be. I am really happy with today's neon lampshade and I know you will love it! 
When you purchase your Tie-Dye pack it will come with instructions on how to mix it. It is really simple. The bottles come with dye powder in them and you simply add water. If you want a visual, check this post out. 
 This is what my first color looks like. I added green right above my yellow since they go great together. You will get shades of lime green doing this. It's important to use shades that compliment each other.
 The next thing we will do is grab your Tulip Fabric Markers. I am using the pack that has NEON shades in them. If you don't want to use markers you could use the beads in a bottle instead. 
IMPORTANT: When you apply your fabric markers make sure you do this when the lamp shade is still wet. This is really important because we want the colors to "marry" each other and this won't happen if the lamp shade is dry.  three way switch
What colors three way switch or pattern's will you use in your lampshade? Let us know in the comment section. Don't forget to share all over the inter-webs because the reality is, everyone needs a Neon Tie-Dye Lamp and it's up to YOU to bring it to their attention.

This is a fun idea. I don't know if I would personally choose to use so many colors, but there are some great tips on here that I could use to create my own sort of dyed lamp shade. Thanks for sharing! Reply Delete
