The lamp from isolon is made practically in any form. It can be a fantasy lamp, lamp or sconce. The only condition is the presence of a non-degenerate bulb, despite the fact that the isolon can easily withstand high temperatures. The design of the lamp depends on its future owner. Below will look at how to make a lamp in the form of a heart.
Materials and tools
Before making a lamp, we need to think in detail what tools and materials for this will be needed:
- Isolon;
- Wire for crafts in motges (diameter 3 mm);
- thread in the same color as isolon;
- round-rolls;
- scissors;
- a small piece of ribbon for decor;
- Decorative grass with flowers (optional);
- Satin ribbons (optional);
- glue pistol;
- bulb;
- Plastic tube.
To your taste you can also choose various materials for decoration. These can be beads, sequins or smaller hearts. The light is selected depending on how bright the lighting in the room should be.
Manufacturing technology
In order to make a lamp in the form of a heart from Isolon, you need to first take the wire. Round-rolls or do it yourself make a heart. This will be our foundation. After follow step by step in our MK.
- Isolon takes, it's tightly wrapped around the frame that was previously prepared from the wire. Try to make the base be completely hidden. You can attach it using a glue gun.
- Please note that you can not put it too much on the frame, as we need to preserve its perfect shape and proportion. The lamp is winding tightly thread, which is selected in advance by our material.
- Even in the process of making a lamp in the form of a heart from Isolon, it is necessary to take into account that it will become less than our original framework. Therefore, it is better to immediately navigate the size that I would like to get.
- The remaining thread should be carefully hidden, knoting the nodule. The loop is fixed, if necessary, takes on hot glue.
- Next, the heart decorates to his taste and desire.
Then we need to make a spiral from a plastic pipe, where the wires will be hidden to the future lamp. For these purposes, a construction hairdryer is used.
It is worth considering the fact that the bottom of the pipe should turn out to be flat, as the entire design will be held on it.
A wire is skipped through the coupling, the cartridge is screwed. Our finished heart can be glued with a glue gun, the pipe also needs to be fixed. Now the lamp in the form of a heart is practically ready. At the final stage, a light bulb is screwed, the switch is attached. Such an item will decorate any home or apartment.
Beautiful examples
One of the best examples of such lamps is using sisal. They are filled with the space inside the heart. Here you can experiment with different colors and decor on top of the lighting element. For example, from several ribbons to make rosette and attach it to the side of our facility.
If you leave a heart hollow, then inside it can be attached to a ribbon or tie another heart. It is manufactured from both the isolon and from ordinary felt or sisal. Fabric options are possible. Additionally, the frame is decorated with beads.
Creative option - fill the heart with robes. They can be selected in color to the main composition and glue with a glue gun. An unusual solution will be the use of garlands with small lights around the frame.
There are also variations with the base where the wire is laid for the lamp. It can be straight, and maybe a little curved. It more depends on the purpose of using such a lamp and its intended functionality.
