Decorating your home with cute little things is very simple. The main thing is to know where to start. For example, if you are a lover of everything original and handmade, then you can try to make it simple and interesting lampshade with butterflies. When creating such an accessory, remember that the lamps in your future lamp should be of low power, otherwise all decorative elements will be deformed under the influence of heat.
Where to begin?
To create a lampshade with butterflies with your own hands, you need to stock up on the following materials and elements:
- round lampshade from an old lamp;
- scissors, pliers, a decorative chain (it can be purchased at any needlework stores);
- silver paint spray;
- thin marker;
- silver wire;
- transparent plastic material.
How to make a lampshade?
After collecting all the necessary materials, you need to think about making butterflies. It is simple to do this - we take a sheet of plastic, draw a butterfly on it, cut it out. We prepare exactly as many elements as you need for your lamp. Using an aerosol, you can fill in several butterflies - then they will stand out in your home-made chandelier. In addition, such a decor under the rays of the sun or light bulbs will shimmer, creating a magical atmosphere in your home.
The simplest lampshade with butterflies with your own hands is created using pliers: with this tool you need to connect pre-prepared chains with butterflies. The upper ends of the chains must be carefully attached to the lampshade ring. Your lamp is ready. Now it needs to be attached to the ceiling. This accessory will look spectacular with the windows open, when a fresh breeze will wave light and graceful butterflies. By the way, to make the interior more harmonious, the same plastic butterflies can decorate walls or furniture.
What to consider?
Before creating a lampshade with butterflies with your own hands, you need to solve several issues. Firstly, the combination of colors in the room is important: the lamp should ideally fit into the format of the room. Secondly, security measures must be observed. For example, you need to make pendants on the lamps higher so that children can not reach them. Thirdly, it is important to consider the power of the lamps. In this regard, it is best to use energy-saving light sources.
