DIY Paper Lamp

in DIYHub5 days ago

A few days ago I made a candy box filled with goodwill messages for my boss and it was received with so much love. I saw his reaction and I was so happy that I could make someone smile. I guess that’s the rewarding part of making gifts for people. Making gifts for our friends and loved ones with so much love and seeing their reaction is everything.

Today I decided to do something fun as I wasn’t going to work. I made a beautiful paper lamp. I’ve been wanting to create this lamp for a while now but it looked difficult but after seeing another Hivean create a butterfly lamp I decided to take a leap of faith and guys I did it! My lamp came out just fine against all odds😃

I learnt something today, when we organize our projects in a good tutorial form it helps to guide people who wish to embark on such projects in the future.

To make this beautiful paper lamp of mine I used the following materials:

Materials
Cardboard paper
Plastic bottle
Gum
Scissors
Ruler
Pencil

I took the following steps to make my paper lamp.

Step 1:
To make this beautiful paper lamp you start by drawing a star on your cardboard paper.

Step 2:
After drawing your star on the cardboard paper, proceed to draw a circle in the middle of your star.

Step 3:
After getting both shapes correctly, carve out your star. Do this neatly to avoid disfiguring the shape of your star and invariably your paper lamp.

Step 4:
To proceed to the next step you must first ensure your star looks nice and afterward you carve out the circle in between your star.

Step 4:
Cut your plastic bottle to the length and size that you want and wrap your cardboard paper around it.

Step 5:
Apply gum to the top and bottom part of your star and afterward gently place your wrapped plastic on your star.

Step 6:
Attach the eyes of your star, draw the mouth and do some finishing touches to your lamp and Voila! your lamp is ready and good to go😃

Your paper lamp is quite impressive. It would fit well for decorating a work space at night. A subtle light source. Great work

Thank you so so much😃

Great idea

Thank you

The lamp looks amazing.

I was hoping to see the lights you used though. Were they Christmas string lights?

Thank you so much Zita darling, I used a selfie light.

Wow, this is so cool. I like how it came out beautifully at the end and the blue cardboard produces a cool effect as well.

What kind of light did you use?
