Do you like lace lungs? Previously, in the Middle Ages, the girls decorated the festive things, now the lace is no less popular both in clothing and in the design of the interior. And if you like multiple warm light in the house and funny openwork glare on the ceiling and walls, then I suggest you try to make such a beautiful round lamp made of lace napkins and a balloon.
Why lace? Because we all remember the lace napkins, which our grandmothers decorated all the smooth surfaces in the house. No apartment did without these knitted napkins. And if you like it, if you want to go back to this feeling of a children's fairy tale, then why not make a semicircular or shaggy lace napkin for a lamp. You all encountered the problem of finding a suitable lamp in the house? And this - you can make it yourself. By the way, the magnificent idea for the decor of the lamps to the country, if you do not want to buy new chandeliers there.
What we need for the manufacture of lamp lamp
- 1. Lace napkins of one or more colors;
- PVA glue or ordinary wallpaper glue;
- Balloon;
- Wire and base.
Method 1: semicircular lamp from multicolored lace napkins
Inflation the air ball to the desired size is a form for our future lace lamp. We divor the wallpaper glue into a suitable container, for example, in a small basin. Jump the napkin in glue and put on our ball.
The ball so that it is convenient, you can put it on a bucket, a bowl or something like that. The rest of the napkins also wet in the glue and glue to the ball, trying to evenly position the napkins of different colors on the surface of the ball. Do the napkins, not reaching somewhere 2/3 to the bottom of the ball and leave to dry. By morning the lamp will already be ready.

When the napkins are dried, we will only have to pierce the ball and remove it from the finished lace lamp. It will take you literally half a minute.
It remains to insert the cord into the lamp and attach the base. If it turns out, you can do this through the holes in the lace. If not, you can carefully cut the hole you need size from top of the lamp. Since the napkins are impregnated with glue and froze, our lace will not begin to crawl through the threads from it, you can not worry.
And here is our lamp of lace napkins, suspended, and you can turn on the light and admire that we succeeded, and how cute it looks at the light bulb.
And on the ceiling and on the walls we will have fabulous openwork glare, which we have already spoken. That's what it looks like.
Method 2: Round lace lamp made of white napkins
A similar way to make a lamp of lace, but this time we will use white monophonic lace napkins and make a fully round lamp. This is:
This time we need all the same as for the past lamp, only instead of the wallpaper glue we will use the usual PVA glue, and we take the napkins. In our case, white, you can take, for example, orange, and make a bright lamp to create a spring home. First, as usual, inflation to the ball.
Next, we prepare our napkins. This time there should be more of them, as we will hinder them the whole ball and sufficiently tightly so that the lamp kept the form well.
We smear a lace napkin with PVA with a thick bruster on stick to the ball. It is best to immediately put on top of the ball the biggest of the napkins prepared by you and hang the ball on the rope.

Our task is to save the ball completely in a circle, so that our lamp is completely spherical. We leave it in such a suspended to dry. For this you need 2-3 hours, but for reliability it is better to wait until the morning if you started making lampshade in the evening.
Purify the ball. In the finished lamp neatly scissors cut through a small hole. Through it, we pull out the remnants from the ball, as well as insert the base of the base with the light bulb. The hole will get big, so after you inserted a paw, secure the lamp to the wire with a white wire (or the other - under the color of the lamp so that it is imperceptible), you can also just sew it, but then it will be difficult for you to change the light bulb.
As a result, we will get a charming round lamp from lace, which will give dissipated light and discard openwork glare not only on the ceiling and top of the walls, but also throughout the room, creating the atmosphere of heat, comfort and grandmother's fairy tales.
