Newspaper
We will start work. First of all, you need to grind newspapers. Now the most interesting. We start cooking paper. Yes, yes, it is cooking. We argue that such a dish you have never prepared for sure! Put the whole mountain of crushed newspapers in a saucepan. Fill hot water so that all paper is covered. Put on fire and "Prepare" 15 minutes. When you see that the paper has lost ink and its texture has become softer, remove the saucepan from the fire. Do not worry if you feel a strange smell, it's all because of the ink, which is now to get rid of. Through the colander drain the water. "Porridge" made from the newspapers to the pan and pour cold water from under the tap.
Whip paper
Now using the mixer you need to beat the cooked paper with clean water. Thus, you should get a homogeneous pasta. As you can see, before our paper lamp shade, made by their own hands, will get the final form, very far. So be patience and proceed to the next step. It is necessary to remove water from paper paste. Again with a pitch. Hands need to squeeze all the liquid so that the mass turns out more loose.

Add adhesive
Now we thoroughly mix this mass with glue. Ultimately a result, the mass should be homogeneous and not adhere to a bowl.
Balloon
Now take an inflatable ball and inflate it to the required size, as you remember in our case - this is a diameter of 20 cm. Start apply to the bowl pasta from the top to bottom. The thinner of the layer - the more transparent will be the surface of the paper lamp. For more convenient application of pasta, we recommend you to hang the balloon on the rope. It will also help him dry faster. In general, complete drying can take 2-3 days.
The final stage
After drying, when the surface is solid, from under the made paper ceiling, you need to remove the ball. Probably, the ball glued a little to the lamp, so be careful, because the inner surface will be still wet. Now it remains only for electrical installation.
