Your favorite corner in the house will become noticeably cozier and more joyful if such a pink and fluffy lamp appears in it.
To make it you need: mirror bracket (IKEA), aluminum wire blanks, decorative feathers, PVA glue, mesh, silver paint.
DIY sconces
- Lighting fixture in the interior: this is how a work corner might look like.
- The homemade lamp is adjustable and can illuminate the table surface at the desired location.
- Wire blanks are attached to a bracket taken from the mirror. It turns out the frame of the future lampshade.
- A circle of such a diameter is cut out of the mesh to ideally cover the metal frame.
- The metal frame is covered with a mesh circle. Align the edges if necessary.
- A thin wire is wrapped around the edges of the mesh around the bottom edge of the frame, as if “sewing” it. A needle and thread can be used instead of wire.
- The electrical wire is passed through the mesh as close as possible to the hole for the fasteners so that the light bulb hangs in the center.
- Tools and materials that will be needed to make the lamp.
- The ends of the wires are fixed in the holes of the cartridge and snapped into place (this is a “snap-on” fastener). If the cartridge is old, then the wires will have to be fixed with a screwdriver.
- The cartridge is fixed on a wire arc in the center of the mesh dome. The ends of the arc wire are attached to the holes in the ends of the bracket.
- The feathers are smeared with glue and inserted one by one into the mesh cells, starting from the bottom rows. Fasten the bracket.
- So that the electrical wire does not stand out against the background of metal fittings, it is covered with silver paint.
- The wire is passed through the holes in the bracket so that it does not interfere and spoil the overall view.
- Screw in … The lamp is ready!
