A ModernTake on the Doily – $850 Lamp for less than $50
A Modern Take on the Doily $850 Lamp for less than $50? Yes Please! Hello Pretty people! We are so excited to share a project we did this past weekend. A few months ago, I came across a ceiling lamp, I absolutely loved. It was $850, and I just couldn’t justify the spend, being it was simply made of doilies. To get started, you are going to need a few things to make this project successful. corn starchballoon (we used a 40” blown up until completely round, as pictured)upholstery thread (but any thread will do)twinedrop clothschool gluecheap paintbrushpetroleum jellylamp kit24+ doiliesstiff stuff We sewed the doilies around the balloon with the upholstery thread, very carefully. Make sure to create a space to place your bulb socket. Once you have sewn about ¾ of your balloon, stop and do the last ¼ separately. Lay down your tarp and hang your balloon from some twine above the tarp. Rub the balloon down with the petroleum jelly. It should look something like the image above! I am Lana.

Moresque lampe
Hey everyone, this is my first instructable, and i would like to share with you, how to make this Moresque inspired Lamp. As the most of the instructables stuff, this project is : - Easy to make, no special skills needed. - Looks good - Costs virtually nothing ! and the i tried to make something original searching on the internet i found this website : selling this nice looking lamp, so i wanted to make something similar ! For those who are lucky enough to have a laser cutter, there is an advantage, for me, i cannot afford one, so i will use the traditional way ! The lamp can be made with any material, cardboard, aluminum, plastic, plywood .. you choose your material and color, the principle is the same. For me i will use plywood with a 3 mm thickness for this project. This is my first instructable i will try to do my best explaining things, if something is unclear bear with me, and feel free to ask :-)
