Changing the design of the lampshade

Important! Textiles for the lampshade should be selected so that it harmonizes with the shades of the curtains and upholstered furniture. The paper structure, made from the same wallpaper with which the room is covered, looks interesting. You can, on the contrary, play on contrasts. Especially if we're talking about about the nursery or teenage room. For the lampshade, use brightly colored fabric with designs that match your child's hobbies or with images of your favorite cartoon characters. It is quite possible that the lamp will turn out to be the brightest color accent in the room.

Replace the lampshade with a new one:

1. Use old textiles as a pattern.

3. If you plan to make drapery, make a pattern on paper, increasing its width by 20 cm.
4. To ensure that the fabric sits perfectly on the frame, secure it on the back side with threads that match the color. But do not overdo it and do not fasten the textile too tightly. Make it so that it can be removed for washing if necessary.

Important! If the lampshade is draped, then make stitches at the top and bottom so that you can insert elastic bands into them. A lace, slightly corrugated fabric will look great in a romantic bedroom. The room will immediately be transformed, becoming more sophisticated and elegant.

Important! Don't forget to leave a hole for the light diffuser to fit onto the lamp column.

• After the glue has completely dried, pierce the balloon or ball from the inside and carefully pull it out. The result will be an unusually original and beautiful lampshade.
• Now, if you wish, you can paint it with a quick-drying compound. For example, use latex paint. But you should not paint the product for a long time, since the glued threads may get wet and the lampshade will become deformed.

DIY table lamp: main design elements

The most popular and simple materials to create a table lamp with your own hands, these are: cardboard, paper, glass bottles, banks, plastic containers, water pipes and cement. We will tell you how to make a lamp from all this material.

The main design elements in a table lamp of any type:

• Electromechanical - provides stability to a homemade table lamp and a safe power supply directly to the lamp.
• Support - supports the reflector or illuminator.
• The illuminator is a light bulb in a lampshade.

The electrical circuit of a table lamp is quite simple: power plug, cable, switch, light bulb socket. Sometimes a voltage regulator is added. The cartridge for a narrow E14 minion base is also attached to a thread or to a lamella in the form of a steel strip. For a DIY table lamp best option- chandelier sockets with slip-on threaded flanges: between them you can clamp a steel faceplate with a lampshade frame or a clamp for fastening on a hinge.

A DIY table lamp must be electrically safe. This is especially true for lamps on hinges and consoles. You can create a table lamp safety using a simple diagram:

1. The cable must be round, double insulated
2. The conductive cores of the cable are flexible, made of numerous wires.
   Core cross-section from 0.35 sq. mm.
3. Cable wiring locations must be protected with dense dielectrics.
4. Before inserting the cable from the inside, it is tied in a knot or pulled through the holes of the dielectric fixing washer so that it cannot break. Next comes finishing and decoration.

Original do-it-yourself lampshade for a table lamp

The lampshade must be made taking into account not only the aesthetic aspect, but also the practical one. It is important to secure it correctly, and also to make convenient hole for a light bulb. Paper, plastic and thread are the materials most often used to make a homemade lampshade.

The simplest and comfortable material- this is paper. To create such a lampshade, in addition to paper, you will need: thread, PVA glue, sewing needle and scissors. There are many ways to make a lampshade for a table lamp with your own hands from paper. The simplest method- make a ball out of paper strips for the lampshade, gluing them together and at the poles. The shape in the form of a sphere will additionally strengthen the fragile paper lampshade.

You can also simply make a lampshade from disposable plastic cups, which are fastened with a stapler. This lampshade has quite good lighting characteristics, but at the same time the appearance is quite utilitarian. This lampshade is well suited for rooms where it is necessary quality lighting, but aesthetic appearance is not required.

When making a lampshade from threads, you will need at least 100 m. It makes no sense to use inflatable balls as mandrels, because after 10-20 turns the ball will begin to bulge into different sides and ruin the shape. It is best to use a tightly inflated, durable ball for the mandrel. The mandrel must be lubricated with Vaseline. Next, after pre-lubricating with glue, wind the thread around the ball. When winding, be sure to leave a hole for the cable and cartridge. After a day, you need to blow off the mandrel, which, thanks to Vaseline, will not stick to the threads. The threads can also be replaced with jute, sisal or propylene twine.

These lampshades provide an even, soft light and are therefore perfect for any room.
