New design for lamp screen

If the display of your lamp is already old, it is tarnished or broken us, then you can renew it or make a new one.

The new screen for your lamp can be made using the fabric, cardboard, raffia, etc., and can be decorated with ribbons, paint applications (reasons, stencil, stencils , etc..). We can make different finishes, depending on the environment, living, bedroom is it for teen, children, library, etc..


An old lamp frame lackluster or outmoded serve for replacement, or we can buy a new frame, if we want to incorporate a new lamp home.

Here we will give some examples of lampshades for you to choose. But then again, we invite you from the same animes to develop your own screen.

How to make a lampshade
The materials we use for these lamps are: cardboard, raffia, fabric (silk or cotton, plain or printed). Other possibilities are glass, plastic, scroll, etc..


In turn, we can use appliques, like dry leaves, trimmings, laces, shiny details.

To make the lampshade with cardboard (or similar material), we must place it on a flat surface. It is located above the frame (loop) and we do turn on the cardboard, while marking the lines that will make you turn to.
After dialing, 1.5 cm on the left side where we will unite, and edges.
We cut and put up on the frame, paste it and adjust the joints with sticks clothes. Finally, let it dry well

If the frame that we have is about 4 or 6 sides, to make a new cardboard lamp or the like, you should mark each side (if they are different sizes), or one (if all are equal) on a template . Then repeat the patterns on the material chosen, always remembering to leave 1.5 cm to the edges on all sides.
After cutting, we cover the screen with them.



Screen fabric
In the case of fabrics, several options are possible and both are round and rectangular screens.
As in the case of cardboard, we must place the fabric taut on a flat surface and check off the edge of the screen while it rotates on it. Then, leave 1.5 cm for the top and side, and cut.
To facilitate the placement of the fabric on the frame, it should mark the hem with an iron and only then start line the screen. We glue the edges, let to dry well and getting ready.



Pleated screens is another good option and it is very elegant.
This way of putting together a new lamp is very simple, we cut a rectangle whose height is the same of the lamp plus 1.5 cm on each side, and the length would be equal to the perimeter of the lamp multiplied by 2, 5, or 3 .
We can apply a thick bead on the same or another detail that matches the decor of the place where we will locate the lamp.

Raffia Screen
We simply take the raffia and go as joining up with the ring below the ring, making sure that one line over the other is no mountain that gives way to cover the whole lamp.
This process can be carried out both as rectangular and round light multitude lamp.
