For its manufacture we need: a bracket from a mirror (IKEA), blanks of aluminum wire, decorative feathers,, mesh, silver paint.Bra do it yourself
- Lighting in the interior: this may look like a working area.
- Homemade lamp is adjustable and can illuminate the surface of the table in the right place.
- The wire blanks are attached to a bracket taken from a mirror. This creates the frame of the future lampshade.
- A circle of such a diameter is cut out of the mesh to perfectly cover the metal frame.
- The metal frame is covered with a mesh circle. If necessary, the edges are leveled.
- The edges of the mesh are wrapped around the bottom edge of the frame with thin wire, as if sewing it on. Instead of wire, you can use a thread and a needle.
- The electrical wire is passed through the mesh as close as possible to the mounting hole so that the light bulb hangs in the center.
- Tools and materials that will be needed for the manufacture of the lamp.
- The ends of the wires are secured in the holes of the socket and snapped into place (this is a "clip-on" fastener). If the socket is an old model, the wires will have to be secured with a screwdriver.
- The cartridge is fixed on a wire arc in the center of the mesh dome. The ends of the wire arc are attached to the holes in the ends of the bracket.
- The feathers are coated with glue and inserted one by one into the mesh cells, starting from the bottom rows. The bracket is screwed on.
- To make sure that the electrical wire does not stand out against the background of the metal reinforcement, it is covered with silver paint.
- The wire is passed through the holes in the bracket so that it does not get in the way and does not spoil the overall appearance.
- Screw the light bulb. The lamp is ready!
