DIY : Woven Lamp
what you need: -strips of wood veneer (you can also get 3/4 in. veneer at the hardware store that is for ironing on the edge of shelves - you can also use strips of paper) -white glue -large clips (or clothes pins) - I started with four and found I needed more as I went along -scissors -HEMMA ikea light -pen -small piece of cardstock
step 1-2 take the strip of wood veneer and make a circle shape to the desired size you want your lamp to be. place a small amount of glue to the attachment and hold with clip.
step 3 proceed the same way as in step one - creating an overlap on the other strip of veneer. glue the attachment and secure with clip step 4-5 while the glue is drying take the card stock and unscrew the ring from the HEMMA pendant light
step 6 take the unscrewed component and place on card stock and trace the interior - take the scissors and cut out the circle - place the light through the card stock and screw the circular component back on the light step 7 - 8 find a spot on your form for the light and pull through the cord. it's important to place the light in the centre so that the shape hangs levelled.
step 9 add glue to the card stock and secure it to the wood structure with clips
step 10 make sure there is a spot big enough for your hand to screw in the light bulb. before you are done - look at the lamp and decide if you need more strips or if there are areas you need to secure with glue.
We’re all busy cleaning and sprucing and organizing this month, and one of the side effects from the Spring-Cleaning bug coming soon. Is we tend to notice that things need a little….updating. Well, these rooms needed a little more than updating… they needed a complete overhaul and some much needed decorative ingenuity. Want to take a peek? The room above was in a sad state of, well, gag. Lucky the room went from the pity above to the perfection
This boring blah living room was a catch-all for cluttery toys for a while. It is so easy to let boring spaces get messy, isn’t it?
Happily, it went from this:
To this
Now, how many of us have scary, bottomless closets? {raises hand} I know for a fact that half the games in our closet are un-playable due to missing (possibly eaten) pieces. Here's one before and after that shows how those black holes can be organized and functional.
The before was obviously not doing its job, so why not give it a different job entirely? Like an in-closet office?
When you are tight on space anyway, closets are a good place to start thinking creatively. Much better than the mess of games from before!
