I wonder if I could make a special decorative lamp for Christmas. This will have more fun and increase the joy of this season. So I decided to use some simple material to make a unique decorative lamp. The whole idea is come from the shape of flower, that's why "Blossom Lamp" is named.
Things you'll need: 4 Branches (30" long), 12 steel wire (30" long), teflon tape, a box of mini-lights.
How to make it:
- Let's make the stand of the lamp first. Wrap the whole branch with teflon tape. Repeat the step for the rest. Arrange the four branches as able to stand itself and tie them with teflon tape.
2. To make the lamp shade. Bend the wire into round shape and wrap with teflon tape. Repeat the rest. Make 12 similar circles. hold them together and tie the center with teflon tape. slowly spread each circle in clockwise direction until it looks like a flower shape.
3. Put the "flower shade" on the stand.
4. The last step is to put on the mini-lights, you may tie the mini-lights on the stand when needed.
Tips:
- Mini-lights is easy to get during Christmas season, and that's many options in types and colors.
- You can replace teflon tape to floral tape.
- You may adjust the length of the branches. It depends you want a table decorative lamp or a floor decorative lamp.
