Original lamps and lampshades with their own hands. Ideas, master classes. How to make a lampshade with your own hands from fabric How to fit a lampshade with fabric with your own hands

Lamp shade can be made from almost any material. Finished frame will greatly simplify the work, but if it is not there, it does not matter.

For the manufacture of the frame will require:

wire 4 mm and 1 mm thick;
pliers;
hacksaw for metal;
lampholder with wire;
wire cutters;
glue.

First, let's decide what size the frame will be. Usually it consists of two rings (large and smaller in diameter). For a cylindrical product, two rings of the same size are used.

Making rings is simple - we bend two circles of a certain size from wire. We wrap the junction of the circle with a thin aluminum wire and apply glue to the surface. For the manufacture of complex design you will need not two, but several circles.

Now let's start creating the "ribs" for the lampshade. We also make them from wire: we fasten them to circles, wrap the joints with wire and glue them.

The next step is to secure the lamp socket in the frame. We make a loop of thick wire and wrap the cartridge. We hook the tails to the upper circle of the frame.

That's not like this in a complicated way you can make a frame for the lampshade yourself table lamp.

How to make a lampshade from threads with your own hands: step by step instructions with a photo

A lampshade made of ordinary thread. You can make it in any size and color you like.

What you need to make this decoration:

queens of ordinary knitting threads;
balloon ik;
glue and vaseline;
scissors;
tassel.

It should be noted that the shape of the lampshade made will depend on the shape of the balloon.

Step 1.

We place a skein of thread in a container with glue and soak it properly. It is advisable to place the threads in portions so that they do not get tangled.

Step 2

Inflate a balloon and tie tightly. Lubricate with a layer of Vaseline so that it can be easily pulled out later. Draw a circle around the tail with a diameter that would easily fit a light bulb.

Step 3

We hang the ball vertically and wrap it with threads soaked in glue. Threads are placed in different directions, leaving the place circled near the tail free.

Step 4

On the wrapped ball, once again we pass well with a brush with glue. Let dry for 24 hours.

Step 5

After the threads have dried, the ball is carefully lowered and pulled out of the structure. This must be done carefully so as not to damage the threads.

The craft is ready. With a little effort, you can make a wonderful decoration for a table lamp. For a more complete presentation, watch the video tutorial.

How to make a fabric lampshade for a table lamp: a detailed photo tutorial

The easiest way to update a table lamp is to wrap new fabric old frame. For such work, any fabric is suitable, from tulle to wool.

pencil;
the cloth;
scissors;
satin ribbon;
a large newspaper sheet;
fabric glue.

For a new original lamp, you need to take just a few steps.

Step 1.

We are filming old lampshade from the floor lamp, remove the trim and leave only the frame.

Step 2

Using adhesive tape, we fix the newspaper on the frame. It turns out a paper pattern.

Step 3

Remove and cut the newspaper pattern in half.

Step 4

Using a pencil, transfer the sketch from the newspaper to the fabric, leaving a small allowance for the seams.

Step 5

We wrap the allowances inward and fix the fold lines with pins.

Step 6

We sew the resulting part on a typewriter from three sides. We leave one side unfinished, so that later we can form a seam on the frame itself. We sew at a distance of 5-7 mm from the edge. Sections can be processed if desired.

Step 7

We iron the workpiece from the fabric. We cover work surface paper and lay out the workpiece. We apply glue on it and glue it to the frame, hiding the raw sections. We make the seam in such a way that the lampshade is closed with a stitched edge.

So a new and unique decoration for the lamp is ready. And if you want to make it even more interesting, then the fabric can be combined from various shreds, decorated with rhinestones, beads and buttons.

A bright ceiling will decorate the kitchen, country house, children's room. Its manufacturing technology is very simple. Thanks to her, he will have a neat appearance both from the outside and from the wrong side of the product. Stock up for work suitable fabric, scissors, double-sided tape, thread and needle.

Remove the old coating from an unnecessary chandelier, leaving the frame.

Prepare from the fabric of the future product even stripes. To do this, at regular intervals, approximately 3 - 5 cm along the warp threads, make cuts and tear the fabric with quick movements.

Then iron the strips and cut off the excess threads, carefully shaping the edges. The length of the strips can be different, the longer the better, because fewer connections are required.

Starting the process of forming the ceiling, one of the strips should be fixed with a needle and thread on the upper ring of the frame.

Gradually wind the fixed strip around the upper and lower rings of the frame, applying each subsequent layer to the previous overlap. When the first strip is finished, hem the next strip to it from the wrong side and continue.

In order for the lamp to have a finished look, it is necessary to arrange the lower and upper edges of the ceiling. To do this, cut a strip 14 cm wide from a contrasting fabric.

Ideas and workshops for making lampshades with your own hands for a floor lamp and table lamp

And it’s not difficult to make it by covering the armature of the old lampshade with a fabric with a pattern you like or a piece of wallpaper left after repair.

The use of self-adhesive paper (with a protective film) for the manufacture of the lampshade simplifies the "production" process. Such paper is sold both in rolls and in the form of individual sheets.

If self-adhesive paper is not available, self-adhesive transparent film can be dispensed with. It is especially effective for gluing upholstered wallpaper lampshades.

To do new lampshade, you will need: self-adhesive paper with a protective film, steel ruler, covering material, tape for finishing the edges, adhesive tape, universal glue, frame rings, clothespins.

How to make a lampshade pattern

The dimensions of the lampshade are determined by the diameters of the large and small rings of the frame. Marking patterns for tightness is done like this. First, on a sheet of plain paper of a suitable size, a segment AB is drawn, the length of which is equal to the diameter of the lower ring. From the center Z of this segment, the perpendicular is restored and the point Y is marked on it - the height of the future lampshade. It is chosen at will. Further, through point Y, a segment CD is drawn parallel to AB, equal to the diameter of the upper ring.

The close-fitting pattern should be in the shape of a ring segment. To find its center, extend the segments AC and BD. The point of their intersection will be the desired center X. From it, through points A and C, arcs of concentric circles are drawn with a compass.

The segments EG and HF that bound the segment are the joined edges of the pattern. Their position is found as follows: the length of the segment AB is divided by the length of the segment AX, the quotient of the division is multiplied by 180 degrees. The resulting angle is laid off from the center X, halving relative to the XZ axis.

How to assemble a lampshade

Depending on the design of the lamp, the lampshade is attached to it by the lower or upper ring. To do this, the corresponding lampshade ring is connected by knitting needles to a sleeve worn on the base of the cartridge.

Our lampshade does not have parts that fasten the rings together and determine their relative position. This function is performed by a wrap. Therefore, the rings must be attached exactly to its edges parallel to each other. The slightest inaccuracy - and the lampshade will warp. To prevent this from happening, before finally assembling the lampshade, the rings must be carefully tried on.

	1. Wrap the ring with adhesive tape, sticky side out, so that its surface is as even and smooth as possible without wrinkles.
	2. Remove protective film with self-adhesive paper and stick it on the fabric. Smooth the fabric to the paper.
	3. Put the pattern on the fabric, align the edge and cut out the lampshade trim along the contours.
	4. Fold the workpiece into a lampshade, insert and fasten the lower (larger) ring with clothespins. Glue the edges of the workpiece from the inside.
	5. Glue the bottom ring and squeeze adhesive connection clothespins until the glue dries. The same is done with the small (upper) ring.
	Additionally, fasten the adhesive seam from the inside with adhesive tape. The upper and lower edges of the lampshade can be decorated with braid.

Today I will show you how you can breathe into old things new life. It's about the Soviet floor lamp. In truth, even in its best years, it was a completely ordinary and unremarkable lighting fixture.

How to restore an old floor lamp with your own hands

Of course, it was possible to simply cover it with white paint, but we are not looking for easy ways. We will change the design of the subject radically. So, in order to restore a floor lamp, we need:

1. golden acrylic paint in a can;
2. polymer glue (I used DRAGON);
3. brush;
4. satin and gold braid (they can be purchased at stores specializing in the sale of fabrics and accessories for sewing);
5. threads in the color of satin and a needle;
6. gold acrylic paint for painting on fabric. They are produced on the basis of an aqueous acrylic dispersion, so they do not stink either during painting or after drying. I recommend using Javana (Germany) or Decola (St. Petersburg) paints. Read the instructions carefully and follow all safety precautions during operation.

As a result, I spent $ 10 on materials for the restoration of the floor lamp. I think it's much cheaper than buying a new one.

With a leg from a floor lamp, everything is simple. We spray paint from a spray can in 2-3 layers.

How to make a lampshade with your own hands from fabric

In order for the paint to dry well and not drip, we take a break before applying each new layer for 15-20 minutes. Do not bring the spray can closer than 30 cm to the base of the floor lamp, otherwise the paint will lie unevenly. It is better to do this business on the street or on the balcony, because the smell from the paint until it dries will be sharp and unpleasant.

Then everything is a little more complicated. We lay out the satin on the floor, put a lampshade on it in the center sideways. Gently roll it first to one side and then to the other side, at the same time we outline the contour of the future product. I did it with chalk. the fabric was dark, you can use a pencil. Cut out the resulting figure, leaving 2 cm allowances on each side.

Next, let's start painting. The pattern can also be pre-applied with a pencil or chalk. From the first time, it is unlikely that the color and texture of the fabric will completely cover up, so you will most likely have to apply the paint in 2 layers.

Well, the last stage of the floor lamp restoration is the assembly of the product. A new fabric lampshade needs to be sewn with a needle seam forward and put on the old base, it is better to fix it from above and below with polymer glue. From above we carefully sew a braid. Attach the lampshade to the base. Everything, our restored floor lamp is ready.

Homemade lampshade for a floor lamp

In order to make a lampshade with your own hands, you will need several hours of free time and materials available to everyone:

bottle of transparent plastic with a volume of 3-5 liters with a wide mouth and a lid;
several sets of disposable plastic spoons;
hot melt adhesive;
lamp holder.

For a five liter bottle, about 170 spoons will be required, for a three liter bottle - about 120 spoons.

You need to know:

The size and shape of the bottle affects the geometry of the future lamp;
The neck diameter must be sufficient to pass an E14 cartridge;
The shade of the scattered light depends on the color of the plastic.

Assembly sequence

First of all, we draw a contour and carefully cut off the bottom of the bottle, thereby setting the length of the lampshade. With the help of scissors or nippers, we divide the spoons into two parts: handles - for waste, oval petals - for business. We proceed in the following order:

heat up the hot glue gun;
apply glue to the first petal at four points and glue it to the bottle, starting from the neck;
we place the petals of the first row along the circle butt to each other;
overlap with petals of subsequent rows free space so as to completely hide the plastic base.

Upon completion of the process of pasting the bottle, we move on to the electrical part. We cut a hole in the lid 1 mm larger than the outer diameter of the cartridge. We connect the mains wire to the terminals, assemble and fix the cartridge with the plug.

In order to improve the aesthetic properties of the finished product, it is better to choose a cartridge, electrical wire and a white lid.

The lampshade for the floor lamp is ready. It remains only to screw in the lamp, preferably LED, and apply the supply voltage. In this design, it can be used as an independent desktop or hanging lamp without additional support.

Simple lampshade for a table lamp

We propose to consider the assembly of two absolutely different models lampshades for a table lamp. It is noteworthy that both options do not require large investments. Money. In the first case, it is the creation of a stylish table lamp steel color, and in the second - the modernization of a classic table lamp.

First option

The key part of the lampshade is the opening element attached to the lid of an aluminum can of carbonated drinks.
Having accumulated as many of these "openers" as possible, you can get down to business. The base for the table lamp is metal carcass small size. The main requirement for it is the presence of two rings of wire at the top and bottom, to which parts from cans will be attached.

At the first and most difficult stage, you need to separate a sufficient number of parts from the covers, loosening and breaking them off. You will have to work hard, because for a lampshade with a diameter of 15 cm, you will need more than 300 pieces. Further actions are performed in the following order:

the details of the first row are bent in half, pressing them to the upper hoop and leveling with pliers;
in the rest of the details, one of the rings is bitten with wire cutters and a slot is left for connection with the two rings of the first row;
row after row, the elements of the future chain mail are combined with each other, slightly squeezing with pliers.

The design is completed by connecting to the lower hoop. It is covered around the circumference with parts bent in half, similar to the upper hoop. Then the lower rings of elements from the penultimate row are bitten and linked with the elements of the last row. As a result, the lampshade acquires cylindrical shape resembling chain mail.

When you turn on the lamp with a lamp of neutral white light, the shine from the lampshade will increase, emphasizing its sophistication and originality.

Second option

How to make a lampshade with your own hands from a table lamp that has lost its attractiveness? All it takes is a little fabric and imagination.

In accordance with personal taste preference, you need to choose a fabric and fit it with the frame of the future lampshade. dense denim – suitable option for a night lamp, and a thin fabric of beige shades will only slightly darken the light from the lamp.

When the most difficult stage is over, they move on to making jewelry. In this matter, an important role is played by the interior of the room in which the table lamp will be located.

Roses cut out of fabric are a classic decoration. The beginning of the strip is the center of the flower, with the help of hot glue it is fixed on the canvas. Then the strip is twisted and wound around the center, gluing at regular intervals. Thus, you can create whole compositions.

How to update and decorate your lamp in a different way? To do this, you can cover the entire surface of the canvas with homemade roses, using several color shades. Such a lampshade will create a more subdued light. It is worth noting that there are many other ornamental materials that allow you to independently and inexpensively make flowers and figures of a more complex shape.

Remember, a do-it-yourself lampshade for a floor lamp can cause a fire if used improperly. Do not install incandescent lamps and halogen lamps, since during their operation the temperature of the flask and base can exceed 100 °C.

We strongly recommend using high-quality lamps and floor lamps with a homemade lampshade. LED bulbs. They will never overheat the lamp and its components, which means they will not spoil the appearance of a home-made product.

When creating and implementing any compositions with your own hands, the ability to fantasize and use the material at hand in a timely manner is of paramount importance. The above ideas are only a small part.

Then you need to get the plastic spoons out of the package and carefully cut off unnecessary handles with a knife, leaving about 2-3 centimeters above the level of the "scoop".
You need to glue the “scoops” blanks to the base of the bottle. On the left "tail" apply a large number of glue and press it to the surface (the convex side of the spoon out). It is necessary to cover the entire bottle in a circle until the entire perimeter is occupied by plastic "spoons". It is advisable to arrange them in a checkerboard pattern and slightly move them together. This will leave fewer "free spots".
You need to remove the cartridge from the old unnecessary chandelier, and then place it in an already glued and dried bottle and fix it on the frame.
A decorative bowl can also be made from plastic spoons: stick "scoops" around the neck of the eggplant.
Install and connect the chandelier, check its operation.

Note! Possible option decorative painting or painting spoons in absolutely any color. Thus, your product will look even more beautiful and more original!

Chandelier made of plastic bottles in the form of leaves

Another unusual option a chandelier made in the form of leaves will serve in the interior. It is created from simple plastic bottles, the variety of colors of which allows you to work in the most unusual colors and embody the most daring ideas.

Process of creation:

Cut plastic bottles on blanks shaped like future leaves.
Each blank has to finally fix the shape of the sheet.
With a soldering iron with a thick tip and a one-sided bevel, you need to slightly fuse the sections of each leaf in order to give the future product the greatest effect.
In the same way, thanks to the soldering iron, you need to give the blanks a sheet structure. You need to act very carefully and accurately, because you can easily make a hole in the plastic. Such a leaf with outlined contours of veins and slightly fused edges will look complete.
With a hot needle at the "leg" of each leaf, you need to melt several holes in order to attach them.
Thanks to thin wire, form branches and fasten to a steel wire frame.

It would also be a great idea to make new chandelier in the form of a ceiling lamp for a floor lamp or a lamp on the table. Thus it will great addition to the previous item!

Chandelier with paper butterflies

The most common version of the product is a chandelier with butterflies. And this is no accident. To begin with, this option looks luxurious and expensive, and secondly, its manufacture does not require special physical costs. Thus, even a child can participate in the creation of a chandelier.

Process of creation:

The basis is either an old chandelier or a similar frame. If this is not available, then you can take the simplest wooden or metal rim. If there is no such material, then, as an option, you can take a thick wire and make about 2-3 skeins, so that a circle forms.
Cut paper butterflies according to the pattern. You need to take a butterfly template and fit it to the desired size. The option also looks very unusual when butterflies of several sizes are located on the chandelier at once (again, depending on desire). Transfer the outlines to paper and carefully cut out, preferably with a sharpened clerical knife, or small non-rounded scissors. The material for the templates themselves is better to use dense, not very dirty and does not attract dust. For example, velvet paper is very bad for a product, because in the future you will need to vacuum the chandelier quite often.
Take a thread from a nylon or a transparent fishing line and attach butterflies to it. You can attach it in two ways: either pierce the bodies of butterflies, or stick them on silicone glue.
Next, we attach threads with butterflies to the base of the frame and decorate it.
You can also try interesting option if you make a wire ball! It should be based on a suspension from a chandelier and place several butterfly patterns on it using a glue gun.

fabric chandelier

This chandelier is also based on the frame. As in the previous version, either old metal frames or dense wire are suitable for its manufacture.

After you have pre-prepared the base, proceed to cutting out the fabric from which the lampshade will be made in the future. How long will it be ready product, depends on your desire, however, it should be borne in mind that the width of the fabric must be the same as the diameter of the frame! Once you have finished the pattern, you need to try on.

Another nuance is that the top of the fabric will need to be sewn directly on the frame, which means that it (the frame) must be solid. Otherwise, if it is possible to thread it directly into the fabric, then you should first fold the upper edge of the pattern and stitch it, and then iron it. Then we sew a seam on the side of the product.

In order for the lampshade not to lose its shape, due attention should be paid to the material. If the fabric is too light, "airy", then the bottom of the product should be weighted. To do this, you can use cardboard or fishing line.

A neatly sewn fringe, lace or braid will also look beautiful. But do not "overload" the product! The process of making a fabric chandelier is similar to making a lace chandelier. So you can safely experiment with materials that are located on the frame.

Plafond of threads and a balloon

Materials:

dense threads, such as woolen, cotton, or jute rope - at least 1 meter;
cartridge;
petrolatum;
PVA glue;
a brush to apply glue and petroleum jelly (it is desirable that the brush does not shed);
1 or 2 pieces balloons(the first in order to work with it, and the second in order to check the finished product, if desired);

Process of creation:

Inflate the balloon to a certain size, secure. Remember that the finished work will exactly repeat the shape of the ball! With a marker, draw a couple of circles at the top and bottom, in order to determine the boundaries of winding threads.
Using a brush, smear the ball around the entire perimeter with petroleum jelly.
Pour PVA into a plastic container and thoroughly process the threads with it (It is not advisable to apply glue to the entire length of the threads at once! Treat them as you wind them around the ball!).
Given the borders that you applied with a marker, wind the threads around the ball. Do not forget that depending on the density with which you wind, the future appearance of the product depends.
After winding, you need to leave the product for a day until it dries completely; After complete drying, you need to burst the ball and remove it through the holes.
Cut a place at the top and insert the cartridge.
In order to be completely sure that the product turned out to be strong, you can insert a ball into it and inflate it. Similarly, you can check the flexibility and reliability of the lampshade.

Alternatively, you can paint the structure with a spray can or acrylic paint, attach all kinds of decorative ornaments such as butterflies, artificial flowers or beads. It's also a great idea to arrange a few balloons in the form of a bunch of grapes and fasten them together.

Wine bottle chandelier

This version of the chandelier is a little more complicated than the previous ones. Making a chandelier for this is quite difficult, the manufacturing process will require accuracy and care. However, you will love the result!

Materials:

a bottle of wine;
glass cutter;
sandpaper for sanding edges;
cartridge;
electric wire;
metallic or wooden frame, rim.

Process of creation:

First you need to prepare the bottle itself for further manipulations with it. The first step is to draw a straight line around the perimeter at the level you need. This is required in order to cut off the bottom of the bottle with a glass cutter;
In order not to cut yourself on the glass, you need to grind sharp edges sandpaper;
Pull the wire through the neck of the bottle and then connect the cartridge;
Attach the bottle to the frame.

You can also decorate the bottle with all sorts of decorative items or leave it in original form. In any case, it will look original and spectacular.

The number of products on the frame depends on your desire. You can either leave one bottle, or fix four or more bottles at once.

Chandelier idea from laserdiscs

This idea is great for those who have a large amount left in the house. laser discs, and the hand does not rise to throw them away. It is immediately worth noting that the manufacturing options and the result can be very different. It all depends on your imagination and creativity!

Materials:

two round wooden planks different thickness, and which are slightly larger in diameter than the disks;
racks made of metal or wood;
Fluorescent Lamp;
magnetic switch;
disks.

Process of creation:

In a board with thicker make a hole and install a starter with a switch in it.
Then connect it all to the lamp.
String disks on the lamp.
Install the racks around the discs and secure the top.

The finished product will delight its owners for a long time, and it does not require special care. It is not advisable to place this type of chandelier in the children's room so that the child cannot harm himself (only if the chandelier hangs out of reach).

Shabby chic chandelier

To create spectacular lighting in the room, you can also make a chandelier from fabric or beads. The result is a kind of chandelier or ceiling in the style of "shabby chic".

Materials:

a finished metal or wooden frame (or it can be made from an old hoop, garden basket, thick wire);
cartridge and lamp;
chains and threads for decoration;
all kinds of beads and beads.

Working on such a ceiling is not difficult, but it is a very painstaking task. Such chandeliers usually consist of two or three levels of rings, which are located one above the other. It all depends on the size of the selected bases. If you take rings of the same diameter, then the finished product will be made in the Art Nouveau style.

One of important points consists in the fact that before starting the design of the chandelier, you need to paint and wrap the frames with decorative materials!

The approximate consumption of beads is:

For the lower part of the lampshade - 16 mm beads, about 15-17 pieces per thread;
For the upper part of the lampshade - 12 mm beads, about 35 pieces per strand.

Naturally, when stringing beads on a thread, you can increase or decrease their number or the degree of thread tension. But it is still desirable to stock up on materials in excess of the norm.

The essence of the work is to hang threads with beads "waterfall" or "cascade" so that they flow down the structure.

In order to make the effect of "muting" the light, you can sheathe the frame with a thick fabric.

A handmade chandelier will definitely bring a fresh touch, originality and beauty to the interior. You will immediately notice how the room will sparkle with new colors, and your guests will sincerely admire your creativity, diligence and original taste!
