When there is a desire to change the decor in the apartment and add a little originality to it, start with the little things. Try changing the lampshade and you will be amazed at the transformation of your family nest.

And if you manage to find an original model that differs from analogues, then the changes will impress not only you, but also your guests.

True, unique lampshades cost a lot of money, because the piece works of eminent masters cannot be bought for a penny.

But after all, no one bothers you to create your own unique masterpiece from cheap, and sometimes even waste materials, which will look much better than the samples presented in the store.

All you need is simple materials, a bit of patience and a flight of imagination, and we will tell you how to make a lampshade with your own hands.

Materials

You can create a masterpiece from everything that you have at hand: fabric, paper, thread, twine, wire, a plastic bottle, beads or beads.

In general, absolutely everything will do, even what you usually send in the trash bag.

Don't believe me? Just see the photo of the lampshade.

Frame

If you have a frame from an old lampshade, then this is just great.

However, do not be upset if one is not found, because you can create a frame yourself from ordinary wire.

Copper, aluminum, steel - anything that you can combine into a single structure will do.

The metal frame of a classic lampshade consists of three rings and six bridges between them. The small ring is a holder that connects to the larger ring with three straps.

The same, in turn, is connected with jumpers to the last ring. The following photos will help you figure out the design.

From fabric

When a frame for a lampshade is available, the easiest way to create your masterpiece is to wrap the base in fabric. For this you will need:

• paper (newspaper);
• scissors;
• the cloth;
• chalk or pencil;
• threads.

Wrap the frame with newspaper in such a way as to form a pattern out of it. Then transfer the resulting shape to the fabric using chalk, adding 1 cm per seam on each side.

Make a pattern, cut off the edges and sew the sides, forming a cover on the base of the future lampshade. We fold the upper and lower edges of the "cover" in such a way as to close the rings of the frame and fix it with a seam.

Note!

Voila, your floor lamp shade is almost complete. It remains to add a few highlights to your taste, making it unique.

From threads

How to make a lampshade when there is no frame? As easy as pie.

Take a balloon without drawings, glue, thread, marker and start creating.

First you need to inflate the balloon and mark the upper and lower boundaries of your future masterpiece on it. Then take the threads and wrap the ball with them, trying not to protrude beyond the marked contours.

Apply glue diluted with water 1: 1 to each layer of thread. When the thickness of the wound thread satisfies you, fix the cut edge and hang the ball to dry. After 3-4 hours, the threads will dry. Then pierce the ball and carefully detach it from the walls of the finished lampshade.

Additional charm to a thread lampshade can be given by leaves and flower petals woven between the layers of threads.

Note!

The ball, decorated with sparkling beads, also looks original. In general, watch and get inspired.

From paper

Plain sheets of office paper, glossy magazines, a cheap newspaper, an unnecessary book or ordinary notebook, paper towel or napkin - these are all future lampshades.

It doesn't matter if there is a frame or not, the main thing is that there are scissors, glue and paper. One thousand and one versions of such lampshades can be described with the words "cut and stick".

The main thing is not to forget a few simple rules:

• a paper lampshade is safest to use together with economy bulbs, which heat up much less than incandescent bulbs;
• the diameter of the lamp shade should be large so that the paper does not heat up unnecessarily;
• for a bright room, you can make a lampshade of thick paper, but for a dark one you need a thin one that transmits light well;
• be careful with the color. For example, red or yellow paper will add warmth to the room, green and blue - cold.

Well, that's all. Charge yourself with new ideas, arm yourself with improvised means and forward to light changes that bring warmth and comfort to your home.

Well, for those who still prefer to buy ready-made lighting fixtures, I recommend looking into a specialized online store Lampa.ua - where high-quality and stylish table lamps, chandeliers, sconces, accessories, etc. are presented in a huge assortment. from the best manufacturers and at very flexible pleasant prices :) By the way, according to Google statistics, this online store is the most popular among Ukrainian buyers :) Use it with pleasure!

I wish everyone good luck and good mood !!

Many designers recommend using multiple light sources in a room, ranging from chandeliers to lamps and floor lamps. This will illuminate specific areas in the room or create a special spectrum of lighting depending on the mood. But in order to realize the plan, significant financial investments will be needed, since creative and cost a lot of money. In this regard, you can make a floor lamp yourself and not spend much money at the same time. You can assemble it from scrap materials, such a product will look good in a country house, apartment or in the country. Next, we will tell you how to make a floor lamp with your own hands, providing instructions with photo and video examples.

Step-by-step instruction

Preparation of materials

In order to make a homemade lamp, you will need the following tools and materials:

• lumber and wood glue;
• hacksaw;
• drill and pliers;
• knife, screwdriver;
• fasteners;
• copper elbow;
• wooden beam for the frame (approximately 140 cm);
• copper tube for the frame (about one meter);
• lamp and electric cord with plug;
• plastic bin for garbage (openwork).

You should make a floor lamp yourself step by step. First of all, you need to start making the base of the structure.

Making the foundation

So, the foundation is done as follows:

1. First of all, two boards should be cut from the board. One should be 35x5x20 cm in parameters (length, thickness, width, respectively), the other - 30x2.5x15 cm. Other dimensions can be taken, but it must be borne in mind that the base must withstand the weight of the entire structure and not allow it to tip over.
2. Then you need to glue the two bars with glue. To do this, grease the smaller board with special glue and attach it to the larger board. This must be done so that it is in the center. Using clamps, fix the bars until the glue is completely dry.
3. After that, you need to measure 5 centimeters from the edge and make a hole with a diameter of 3 cm. And since the base is relatively thick, you will periodically need to remove the wooden parts from the hole. Once the hole is through, sand all edges.

We make the frame

For the frame, a stand of almost one and a half meters was chosen. This height was selected taking into account that a homemade floor lamp can be placed near the sofa and the light will fall on it from above. But you can choose a different height.

Before you start making the frame, you need to wipe the copper pipe with alcohol. This will remove any remaining stickers and grease.

Then you need to do the following:

We collect the lamp

To assemble a homemade floor lamp you need:

Coming up with a lampshade

It is very easy and simple to make a lampshade. To do this, it is enough to have an ordinary office wastebasket with you and adhere to the following instructions:

The floor lamp is made by hand. Now you can put it near your favorite chair, open a book and enjoy reading. A photo of the finished product is shown below:

A floor lamp for the home can be assembled from a variety of materials at hand. For example, you can simply change an old lamp by adding a new leg or lampshade. For lovers of coziness and comfort, a lampshade made of threads and beads will be an excellent solution. To do this, you need a mesh and thread. Satin threads are wound around the mesh, and the lampshade is installed on the rack.

Also, the lampshade can be constructed from plain white paper or fabric. A homemade frame is wrapped in cloth or paper and, with the help of special paints, give it its own style. And handmade jewelry made of beads, shells, rhinestones or buttons will give the lamps their individuality and originality.

We recommend watching a video that demonstrates master classes on assembling a floor lamp from scrap materials. Learn how to make a beautiful floor lamp from a washing machine drum, as well as a tabletop model from paper plates:

Such unusual ideas will allow you to create a lamp for any room interior. The advantage of a homemade floor lamp is that no one will have such a product. It will be special and individual. Moreover, you can make not only floor lamps, but also build a table lighting device that can be placed near the bed.

So we looked at how to make a do-it-yourself floor lamp at home. We hope that you liked the provided photo and video examples, as well as master classes and inspired you to make a homemade lamp from scrap materials!

Lighting is the most important component of the interior. Coziness and comfort level of our home depends on lighting. The play of light and shadow allows you to play up the winning moments of the interior and divert attention from unfortunate moments. And also - lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers and lamps create the atmosphere that we call "home". Unique lamps and the best way - to make a lampshade with your own hands, will help to make a home only "your own", personal, individual. Homemade shades and lampshades are the strong point that will make your home stand out from others.

A few words about safety

In the manufacture of lamps, floor lamps and chandeliers in industrial conditions, a preliminary calculation is made of the minimum distance from the "body" of the lamp to the materials. This distance depends on the power and heat radiation of the lamp and on the type (combustibility) of the material from which the shade / lampshade is made. At home, hardly anyone will bother with such calculations. And in order not to create a dangerous situation, it is worth adhering to certain rules.

And in general, having made a lampshade and installing it, in the first few days, pay attention to whether the lamp is warming up. Any rise in temperature above ambient is considered heat. If the shade feels “warm”, change the bulb to a less powerful one. Check again. So until the homemade lampshade is warm.

Where to get the frame

If you want to remake an old lamp, floor lamp, sconces for which the old lampshade has become unusable, you can simply use the existing base, peeling off the old material. Before starting work, inspect the frame well, if there is rust or damaged coating somewhere, maybe it is worth peeling and painting everything again? At the same time, the color can be changed. If you don't have the old frames, you can buy an inexpensive lamp (in a store or at a flea market) and do the same thing with it. Quite good lampshades can, by the way, be made from waste baskets. They are wire, there are plastic. The main thing is to find the right one in shape and size. Then in the bottom you make a hole for the cartridge. Further - it's up to the decoration / cladding, and then there are a lot of options.

If this method is not available either, you can make a lampshade without a frame (there are some) or make a frame yourself. The material for making a frame for a lampshade with your own hands is: wire, wood (wooden or bamboo sticks, specially cut elements), plastic bottles.

How to make a wire frame for a homemade lampshade

The wire for the lamp frame needs aluminum or steel. It is easy to work with aluminum, but it wrinkles easily. This is not very important when the lampshade is already in use, but this fact must be taken into account during work: you can ruin the shape. On the other hand, such plasticity makes it easy and simple to make changes to the shape during operation. So it's not a bad option. Aluminum wire can be obtained from electrical cables. You will have to remove the protective shell and you can use it.

Steel wire is more elastic so that it retains its shape well. You can search for it in the construction market. Working with her is more difficult. It is desirable to have strong male hands nearby.

In addition to the wire, you will need powerful pliers and pliers for work. The frame of a lampshade usually consists of two rings and posts connecting them. The shape of the future lampshade depends on the size of the rings and the shape of the racks. Questions may arise about the number of racks and how they are attached. The number of posts depends on the size of the rings and how “round” you want the lampshade. The more racks there are, the smoother the fabric will be. So it's up to you, but the optimal distance between the posts along the lower circle is about 5-6 cm.

Techniques for creating a wire lampshade frame

How you attach the stack to the rings of your lampshade depends on the thickness and type of wire and the tools you have. The easiest is to make a small hook at the end, then clamp it tightly. And so that the ring does not slide left and right, pre-process the wire at the attachment point with coarse sandpaper. This is an option for thick aluminum wires. If the wire is steel, with a diameter of 1.2-2 mm or more, the best way is. The thinner wire can be bent and wrapped around the ring, or you can also make a hook.

If you make hooks, wrap the wire, the appearance is far from being as ideal as that of factory frames. But this imperfection will be covered by the lampshade itself. If she still worries you, find a ribbon of a suitable color (usually matched to the color of the lampshade) and carefully wrap the resulting frame. It will get much better. The tape can be coated with PVA glue and, wet, tightly, turn by turn, wrap the frame.

Wire mesh

If you can find a thin wire mesh, you can quickly make an almost perfect cylindrical shade for a floor lamp, table lamp, night light, candle shade, etc. All you need is to cut off a piece of mesh of the required length and width, roll it into a ring and fix the wires by wrapping them around the racks.

To prevent the mesh from straightening when cutting off a piece, cut so that there are long loose ends on both sides. They will fasten the cylindrical shade. And the imperfection of the upper and lower rings can be masked with a tape of the desired color.

From a five liter plastic bottle

An interestingly shaped lampshade can be obtained from a large-capacity plastic bottle. There are bottles of 5-6 liters and even 10. So you can use them. Cut off the top or bottom from the container - depending on what you like best. In the cut off part, we make a ring for the cartridge. If the top is cut off, the neck can be used for some cartridges. For those with a larger diameter, it will have to be cut off.

Then we cut out the excess plastic, form the rims and posts of the plafond. In order not to be mistaken, you can first draw all the lines with a marker. It will be easier to cut. Everything is elementary. Then we just decorate. And yes, you must cut out the plastic, otherwise the warm air will have nowhere to go.

We make lampshades on the frame

There are enough options for how you can make a lampshade cover:

From ribbons

The easiest and quickest way to convert an old lamp shade to a floor or table lamp is to use ribbons. You need a frame or a lampshade in the form of a cylinder. It can be “naked” or covered in fabric. If you use a bare wire frame, light will filter through the slits, which will create interesting lighting effects, but the lighting will be uneven. Reading in such light is inconvenient - this is an interior solution. If you need even lighting, wrap the fabric over the frame first. It can be the same color as the ribbons, a couple of tones darker or lighter, it can be contrasting. It all depends on your desire. And remember that the darker the fabric, the less light the lampshade lets through.

We take a tape 1-2.5 cm wide. We fix it from the seamy side of the lampshade using PVA glue, additionally fixing it with a pin. If we took a wire frame without fabric, we attach it to the upper or lower rim (you can sew it by hand, you can use glue). Then we begin to wrap the entire frame, from top to bottom, placing the turns of the tape close to each other, but without overlap.

Having finished the circle, unfold the tape 90 °. We fix it in this position (with a needle and thread or PVA glue, glue from a pistol, temporarily fixing it with a pin, pressing it with a clothespin). Then we pass the tape under the first tape, take it out, put it on top of the second one, then pull it down again, pull it up through one tape. So, gradually, we create a weave, filling the entire lampshade.

Alternatively, you can skip two vertical belts. But then you need to make sure that each next row is shifted by one crossbar. Then you get a different type of weave. Such a lampshade is ideal for floor lamps, since the light will be directed downward, and the dispersion through the walls will be small.

In this version, the ribbons can be the same, they can be of the same color, but of different texture, they can differ by a couple of tones or be contrasting. The tapes can be run in a continuous circle around the circle, or after a certain distance. If you find a wide tape and overlap it, then horizontal tape is not needed at all. And if you use a braided or twisted cord (in the lower photo on the right), we get a completely different kind of lampshade. So only this lampshade finishing technique gives a lot of options.

Let's briefly present the ideas. There are many options for how you can customize standard lampshade frames. The first method has already been announced: you can knit a lamp shade cover on knitting needles or crochet. Several options in the photo.

Not everyone knows how to knit. It's easier to work with beads, especially if you glue them. You can decorate old fabric with beads, sequins, beads of different shapes and sizes. You can make such a "new-old" lampshade with your own hands in a couple of hours. Pick up jewelry that matches the color, coat the fabric with PVA glue, glue the jewelry. To complete the look, you can assemble pendants from beads and beads that are attached to the lower rim, but this is already painstaking work. The effect is interesting though.

You can sew a new fabric lampshade. But it is not necessary to make it an updated copy of the old one. Fantasy should be included! If the lamp or floor lamp is in the girls' room, a new lamp shade cover can be made in the form of a skirt. Choose the style of the skirt yourself. They look interesting in the fold. With and without ruffles.

You can use an old geographic map in the boy's room. They are on thick paper. If the paper is not thick enough, first you need to glue the card onto the cardboard, and then glue the lampshade from such a blank.

Original shades are obtained if the finished frame is braided with threads or ropes. The ropes can be natural. In this case, they are gray, brown beige. Thin synthetic colored cords can be found. From them you will get more "fun" in color products. The situation is even simpler with knitting threads. They are thin, thick, textured, with a smoothly changing color. In general, there are a lot of options.

We take the frame and weave it according to a certain pattern. You can start with the racks. Braid each stand with a pigtail (the length of the threads should be 3 times the height of the stand). When this work is over, we begin to stretch the threads / ropes between the posts. They will need to be passed through the pigtails, so with threads it is more convenient to do this with a needle, and the ropes can be inserted like that.

The second option is to first entangle the entire frame horizontally, and then braid the racks. The pigtail will not work here, you just need to fix the turns on the rack with inclined stitches with a certain inclination. This version is somewhat simpler in execution, but the "pigtails" look more decorative.

Homemade shades without a frame

Many materials are tough enough to hold their shape on their own and, at the same time, they are flexible enough to make something interesting out of them. Well, there are a lot of such homemade lampshades. And almost all of them are worth your attention. We will give here only a part, the other part will go in the section with photos (see below).

From knitted lace napkins

Many people have crocheted napkins and they lie in the "zagashniki", as it is a pity to throw it away, and do not know how to use it. There is a very interesting idea - to make of them a lampshade for a chandelier on a suspension. In addition to napkins, you will need a large balloon or bouncy ball, glue for heavy wallpaper (vinyl, silkscreen, etc.), a brush.

We soak the glue according to the instructions, wait until it swells. We inflate the ball or take the ball, hang it up. When the glue is ready, lay out a napkin on some clean surface, coat it with glue, put it on a ball.

It is necessary to spread it on such a condition that a hole for the cartridge remains in the center. Glue the napkins one by one. They should be laid out so that the edges overlap slightly. When all the napkins are laid, we coat them with glue again and leave to dry. When the glue is dry, blow off the ball or ball (the ball can be punctured, if not sorry) and take it out through the hole. That's all, the lace lampshade is ready.

In some cases, problems arise with how to hang the finished lampshade on the cartridge. The problem is solved simply - take a transparent plastic bottle, cut off its neck, if necessary, expand the hole to the desired size (so that it fits tightly on the cartridge), then cut off the plastic so that you get a ring 5-7 cm wide.You coat this ring with PVA glue , and from the inside of the ball glue to the lampshade.

Round shades made of threads

Practically the same technology can be used to make round and semicircular stylish shades. Choose a thread of a suitable color. Their composition is absolutely unimportant - the color, thickness and texture are important. They can be shaggy, smooth, twisted, thinner and thicker. The appearance depends on it. It is most convenient to work with medium-thick cotton threads. They absorb glue well and then, after drying, keep their shape perfectly.

You will also need a ball or a ball. This will be the base of the lampshade that defines the shape. The dimensions of the base are selected at will. The threads will need to be glued, for this you need PVA glue. It is poured into a container, diluted with water in a 1: 1 ratio.

Other glue can be used. It is important that it becomes transparent after drying. These are WB-29 from TYTAN Professional and D2 glue for carpentry work. If you will be using any of these types of glue, read the instructions.

Draw a circle on the ball or ball, which will be slightly smaller than the lamp holder. Draw a larger circle on the opposite side - this will be the lower edge of the plafond. Now everything is ready, we can proceed.

We coat the threads with glue and wind them around the ball in a chaotic manner. It is more convenient to do this if the glue is poured into the container - you can lower the entire skein there, and just slowly pull the thread. With glue in a tube, everything is not so comfortable: you have to coat areas up to a meter long, wind up, smear again. Time takes much longer. This is if you use not PVA. But on the other hand, the products are more rigid and do not sag, do not change shape over time, as can happen with filament lampshades on PVA.

When winding threads on a ball, carefully go around the drawn circles. If you accidentally climbed into the "forbidden territory", we simply move the threads, forming an even (more or less even) edge. When the threads run out or you decide that there is enough density, the process can be stopped. Thread the edge of the thread between others. All. Then we coat the ball with wound threads again with glue (PVA can be poured) and leave it to dry (at least 2 days). To prevent the ball from rolling, we find a bowl or saucepan and use it as a stand.

The last step is to blow off the ball or ball. If the ball has a nipple, press on it with a thin wire, releasing air. We take out the deflated ball. That's all, you can thread the lamp inside and test the lampshade.

The technology is the same, but the look is very different ...

Using the technology described above, you can make not only round shades. Rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal. Choose a base that is easy to remove, wrap threads dipped in glue, braid, even sticks, newspaper tubes, etc. After drying, remove the base and now, you have made a lampshade with your own hands. A couple of examples in the photo below.

You can also use sticks…. Only wrap the ball with cling film and use not PVA glue, but transparent carpentry

It is a paste-like polymer clay in a tube, which was applied to a milk bag, then dried and the bag was removed ...

Creative homemade shades for lamps, floor lamps and chandeliers

You simply wonder why people don't make beautiful and unusual things. A plafond made of a cup, grater, bottle, beer or glass can, metal parts and rings from beer cans ... It seems that everything can be used ...

Old sieve shade ... stylish

Candlesticks turn into lamps ... without lampshades

You won't tell in life, but these lampshades are made of hooks used to open metal cans for drinks and canned food ... if you paint them, it will be even more interesting

A chandelier in any room has long been not only a lighting device. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the piece of furniture that is the main decoration in any room.

Of course, a do-it-yourself chandelier will be an especially valuable thing. This will allow not only to highlight the special taste of the owners of the house, but also their creative mind.

Despite the fact that deciding to make a lampshade with your own hands for a chandelier, you will need to spend a lot of effort, because the process requires special concentration - for sure, the work time cannot be considered wasted, since the work will bring incredible pleasure and after that there will be even a pleasant aftertaste, and in the future you will definitely want repeat again this kind of work.

If you are thinking about how to make a chandelier, you have probably already seen that today you can use a variety of materials for this, and sometimes completely unusual ones. For example, very often a ceiling for a chandelier is made of wood or glass.

However, if you want something even more incredible, then you can also use cardboard, and wood skewers, and even wine bottles. The choice here depends solely on the ideas that the creator has, as well as on the various wishes of the apartment owners.

In addition, a chandelier made of scrap materials must also be created taking into account the overall interior of the room.

Chandelier made of plastic spoons

Disposable spoons, which most are accustomed to using exclusively for a picnic, in reality can also act as one of the simplest and at the same time easily accessible materials for everyone to create an interesting version of a chandelier in any room.

If you look at a photo of a chandelier of such a plan, you will be struck first of all by the variety of colors, and in the future it will be easy to understand that the material will last a long time.

In addition, in order to create such an interesting piece of furniture, you will need a minimum of financial and material investments.

What materials will you need?

• Any empty plastic bottle. The only condition is that its volume cannot be less than five liters.
• Any plastic spoons. Their number depends solely on the chosen size of the future chandelier.
• Glue that will allow the plastic to stick together.
• The cartridge is from an old, no longer working chandelier.

The process of creating an original chandelier

Prepare a plastic bottle. First of all, you need to get rid of the label and bottom, and also dry it properly.

Remove the plastic spoons and use a knife to remove any handles you don't need. The only thing that needs to be done is to leave a couple of centimeters above the so-called "scoop" level.

Glue the blanks to the base of the prepared bottle. On the "tail" that remains, you need to apply as much glue as possible and then press it to the surface.

It is very important to continue to cover the entire bottle in this way directly in a circle until the entire prepared perimeter is “occupied” with plastic spoons.

It is best to arrange them in a classic checkerboard pattern and slide them together a little.

Thus, it will be possible to reduce the number of "free spots" to a minimum.

• The ceiling is removed from the old prepared chandelier and placed in a dried bottle.
• If there is a desire, then decorative can often be performed in a similar way.

That's all. It remains only to install the chandelier in the chosen place, and also check its operation by connecting it to the power supply.

Another interesting chandelier option is a chandelier with decorative butterflies. It is worth noting that going to almost any master class on making a chandelier, designers always offer to learn how to create it, which is not surprising, because it can perfectly fit into almost any interior of the room.

Note!
