We make a plafond with our own hands from improvised materials.

Today hand-made products are very popular all over the world and cost a lot of money. But we, the creative people, do not need to spend money on such things. We ourselves are able to make a lot of interesting things from objects that others would consider garbage and simply thrown away. Today I'll tell you, from what you can make a plafond with your own hands, to refresh the chandelier or floor lamp.

To build a simple protection for the lamp on the villa veranda can be made from ordinary containers for eggs (for this purpose, both plastic and cardboard are suitable). However, the latter pass the light worse, so it is better to make them delicate, simply cutting out round holes.

To build a lampshade with four sides, you need two containers. Want to make a six or an octagon, prepare three or four empty boxes respectively. The plastic will have to be left as is, but the cardboard can be painted in the right color with the help of gouache or paint from the can.

The container is divided into two halves. We get four rectangles, which you need to somehow connect with each other. The fastest way to do this is with a stapler. But then the ready-made plafond will not look too presentable or completely deformed. Therefore, we will proceed differently. On the long side of each rectangle we make a hole or an awl through which we will pass a beautiful cord, tape or wire in a colored braid. Of course, it is better to use the finished frame from the lampshade to fix it to the lamp. Tell how to make a chandelier with their own hands, I will not, because this is a topic of a separate large article. And today we just share creative ideas.

For those who know how to hold a spoke, there is no question of how to make a plafond with your own hands. Of course, he should only be knitted. Knitwear is extremely plastic, easily takes any shape, so the pattern for the future product will not be required. In addition, any needlewoman, as a rule, accumulates a lot of small glomeruli left from work, and she will gladly let them into the business.
By the way, if you make not only a shade from knitwear, but also blankets, pillow covers, chair rugs, the room will immediately acquire its own unique-individual style.

Do not know how to knit? Nothing wrong. A nice plafond with your own hands can be built from an old umbrella-cane, which in places has rubbed off and can not carry out its protective functions anymore. A man who does not have any skills of needlework will be able to make such a lampshade. The truth for this purpose is not suitable for any umbrella, but only light (monophonic or with a barely noticeable pattern).
First, let's define what style our plafond will be made in. In the bedroom there will be an easy touch of romance. For a children's room or a kitchen, choose bright, cheerful, cheerful colors. To decorate the future of the lampshade, you will need thermal applications of the appropriate subjects, ribbons, braid, paints for painting on the fabric. In order not to overdo it with embellishment, sketch a preliminary sketch of the future product. After the dome of the umbrella is completely zadekorirovat, it remains only to fix the finished lampshade.

As we have already said, with some skills and good imagination, you can make a dome with your own hands from almost anything. Many of you had to throw out cute liter bottles of juice. But some creative comrades came up with how to make them chandelier plafonds. To my taste, this decor is suitable only for a cottage, but still the idea has the right to exist.

So, how do you make a glass with your own hands from a glass bottle? The first thing to do is to separate the bottom. To do this, mark with a felt-tip pen or adhesive tape, along which the cut will pass. Then the bottle is fixed and wielded with a glass cutter, trying not to press too hard. To completely separate the bottom of the bottle, you need to tap it lightly from the inside. Sharp glass edges of the cut are treated with a fine-grained abrasive bar, which is pre-wetted in water.

Remarkable plafonds for floor lamps are obtained from ordinary flower pots, if you separate the bottom from them. Use clay pots as a lamp for a chandelier - the idea is tempting, but too dangerous, since the design turns out to be quite heavy and may well collapse on the head home. In the case of a desk lamp, this does not exactly happen.
