The second way is to use tubes. The sheets are rolled diagonally protruding tips glued. We need two hundred tubes: they are glued together in a circular or triangular shape. A further embodiment - lampshade wire: it swirled into a spiral or conical shape. Create light and can be made of plastic bottles: they cut off the bottom and neck. Need wire, acrylic paint, sealant and a marker. There are many other techniques to create a lamp with his hands.
Options to create fixtures of wood
Production of the lamp with your hands - it is primarily an art rather than savings. Despite the fact that a tree - a simple and inexpensive material, products made of it can compete with the others in terms of performance and aesthetic quality. Their production process is not the easiest. It needs to carry out complex calculations to work with a lot of tools to clean up a lot of trash.

Master Class: How to make a candlestick of cut a tree
Need tree trunk, grinder, hacksaw, LED ribbon (2 m), brush, paint for wood, adhesives, matt plastic pipe. First trunk is cut into slices of equal thickness - about 2 cm. Then, in the middle of one of SPIL is a template. He and all the other sections are drilled along a line. Measurements should be done carefully, because the whole process is poorly marked fragments will have to start anew. After that, they must be sanded. The next step - strengthening with glue and laying in the pads to dry. After that log-varnished. In parallel, you can prepare a matte tube - rod design. Its surface is processed to maximize the effect of haze. Spila put on the phone and then have to do one more step. The last thing the tape is mounted. It needs to be folded into the hands and in this way put into the tube.
Geometric Light of wooden slats
The list of necessary materials and tools include: self-tapping screws, drill, chipboard, brush, acrylic lacquer, electric block, 4 rounds and 7 two-meter rails.

In places where the slats create intersection, set pieces of bamboo sticks or dowels. The basis must be drilled 8 holes 4 intended to ceiling, and the same for the main body of the lamp. Of tin need to bend the 4 corners with bevelled edges. They are mounted with screws so that the exposed parts of the angles were directed inside the lampshade. The entire wooden frame is covered with varnish twice, with a break for drying. At the end of the cruciform structure is screwed SCREW.
Lampshade made of veneer
It can be made of twelve strips. To the inner part is taken smaller - 60 cm for the external - 70 cm. Strips made from a sheet they are cut along the line fibers and steel knife. On a large sheet of paper is necessary to draw a circle with a diameter of 350 mm. It is divided into sectors of 30 °. On the left and right side of the line separating the sector, on the perimeter of the circle drawn parallel lines to determine the correct position of veneer strips. Then prepares the disc with a small hole to put the band. They are glued in a clockwise direction in the form of snowflakes, first three short, three long afterwards. After drying of the adhesive in the construction of the strips is required to make an opening width of about 1 cm. Wire is pushed through it, and is fastened to the drive sleeve.

When they are impregnated with a solution to get them; then removed the glue clots. The end of the thread is tied to a node of the inflatable ball. Then she wrapped around the entire world, it must be done uniformly over the entire surface, but chaotic. It is advisable to use multiple threads of different colors. Then the ball is suspended until the construction is dry. Then it burst and cut assembly. The ball is extracted through the large hole in which will then need to insert a cartridge with a bulb.

Then you can use ready-made lampshade for pasting elements or cut it from a flask. From it makes the lower part and doing a hole for a light bulb, or cut off the top of the neck, leaving a sufficiently wide opening. Next you need to determine the pattern. The upper surface of the cups will create rakovinoobrazny drawing, and the lower - "scaly" surface. If you choose the second option, you need to stick to the plastic bottles jumper. First, trim the top, laying out one after the other rows of spoons. When the process reaches the open part, you need to calculate everything so that the last row of concealed cut edge of a flask.

Ideal pieces of birch leaves and other leaves with a more or less compact form. Thus, you get a greater number of elements. Sections were imitating the plate, it is better to handle a soldering iron to make them slightly bent. The edge of the tip needs to be done and veins: the leaves will gain a more natural look. Since the bottles have a cylindrical shape, the preform will be the curvature. Hot needle pierced holes for thin wires. It should be at least two on each leaf, but even better four to thread the wire "eight". On each put on as many sheets. Then twist flexible wire securely over a frame of steel wires.
Contact with a soldering iron should be maximally careful not to burn your fingers and do not burn the leaves.
Lamps from laserdiscs
You can make several types of lamps. The materials that will be required: rubber feet, silicone sticks, fluorescent lamp, a circle of fiberboard, CD-drives. Necessary tools such as a ruler, triangle, pencil, compasses, glue gun, screwdriver, pliers, tongs, drill. The round shape of the fiberboard is a hole in the heart, drawn by twelve sectors on it. On the lines that divide them, drilled one small hole. Through them will be stretched steel wires, each of which will house a stack of disks. The design will turn severe enough, so it is necessary metal wires. The hole in the disk of the fiberboard is thrust carried with a cartridge, the bulb is inserted into it. Because discs can also be made light-polyhedron, a sphere cover, petals, lamp-ring.
