A big greeting to all the people who are part of this great platform, today I want to show you this incredible octopus lamp that I made with recycled material. Everyone knows that the octopus is a marine animal, and is one of the most peculiar animals that we can find in the ocean, really fabulous, interesting, with 8 powerful arms, provided with tentacles and bulging eyes, is a fascinating animal, after all, it is different, as there are also certain animals that are strange but motivate us to investigate to learn more about them, so let's start with the step by step to make this fantastic octopus lamp:
-Materiales:
-Botella de refresco.
-2 CD.
-Tijera.
-Pincel.
-Un Bombillo.
-Pintura al frío azul, negra y blanca.
-Alicate.
-Cobre.
-2 ojos para nuestro pulpo.
-Paso 1: Cortamos cuidadosamente la botella de refresco al borde de la parte inferior, luego recortamos en tiras la botella ya recortada y doblamos las puntas hacia arriba, esto es para los tentáculos de nuestro pulpo.
-Materials:
-Soda bottle.
-2 CD.
-Scissors.
-Pencil.
-A light bulb.
-Blue, black and white cold paint.
-Pliers.
-Copper.
-2 eyes for our octopus.
-Step 1: Carefully cut the soda bottle to the edge of the bottom, then cut the already cut bottle into strips and bend the ends upwards, this is for the tentacles of our octopus.
Paso 2: Procedemos a Pintar nuestro Pulpo de blanco para que la pintura azul pueda agarrar más color, luego cortamos los CD en diamantes o cuadros, para guindarlos de los tentáculos, y al momento de colocarlo en el bombillo brillen, y le de un toque más lindo y divertido.
Step 2: We proceed to paint our Octopus white so that the blue paint can get more color, then we cut the CDs into diamonds or squares, to hang them from the tentacles, and when placed in the bulb they shine, and give it a nicer and funnier touch.
-Paso 3: Con el cobre procedemos a calentarlo para abrir los orificios en las puntas de los tentáculos y así guindar los diamantes hechos con los CD, luego introducimos el hilo por el orificio para guindar los diamantes. Después de esto, debajo de los brazos del pulpo, dibujamos los tentáculos, tomando como molde, el centro de los CD.
-Step 3: With the copper we proceed to heat it to open the holes at the tips of the tentacles and thus hang the diamonds made with the CDs, then we introduce the thread through the hole to hang the diamonds. After this, under the arms of the octopus, we draw the tentacles, taking as a mold, the center of the CD.
-Paso 4: Procedemos a pegar los ojos de nuestro pulpo con Silicón, pintamos la boca y las pestañas de nuestro pulpo, y cortamos la parte de arriba de la botella de refresco para que por allí pase nuestro bombillo.
-Step 4: We proceed to glue the eyes of our octopus with Silicone, paint the mouth and eyelashes of our octopus, and cut the top of the soda bottle for our light bulb to pass through.
This is my final result, thank you all for reading my post, blessings to all.
