Paper Crafting - Make a Paper Desk Lampshade

1. Introduction: Small ambient lights at home look beautiful and enhances the mood completely. The use of simply mediates. I lose everyone to make such handmade products that I add a personal touch to objects that are a part of everyday life. I don't do it. I'm Claudia. Join me in this class. I will show you how to make paper desk lamp using simply paper folding techniques. I have used simply techniques to graph this desk lamp. So you won't need any prior knowledge or expedience in people grafting. If you like creating things by USMF, then GI know and next meet one. 2. Materials Required: The materials required for this project. A4 size paper, 150 GSM, two numbers, scoring tool. Three MM macro made, got 60 centimeter length. Mm macro or cotton cord. Do MM cotton or Jude god of 50 centimeters length. Paper cutter, cutting mat, who don't know it off approximately 12 inches lint, LED bulb, socket and bled connected glue, scissors and single hole punch. 3. Understanding and Cutting the Template: In this video, let's see how we can use the template that I have shared with you. If you'll notice the template that I had three things to be noted. First is the red line, that is the border line, that is the Catlin. And the second one is the green dashed lines, which is this coordinate. If you notice on the two sides, there would be a low coloured solid blocks. That is for the flap. This will be used for attaching two sheets of paper for this particular design, people required to A4 sheets. I have printed then on my A4 sheets. So now let's see how we can cut them and start with the scoring process. I'm going to cut on the red lines. I'm using rulers and paper gotta, for cutting them. I have placed the ruler just on top of the red line. I'm gently using my paper cutter and cutting them. Final Cut. This similar manner, I have got the other sheet SQL. In the next video, let us see how we can score them. 4. Scoring the Template: In this video, let's see how we can score for that and using a ruler and scoring tool. So before we jump into the final template, women cried with a similar paper that we are going to use for the financial lamp shade that I have taken a small paper. For scoring. We have to place the ruler exactly on the line and gently give pressure and slide the scoring tool. Notice here, we have to place the ruler on top of the line. Gently. Slide the scoring tool on the line. Now we have made this code. Now, in this way we have tested the score line, how it is working on this paper like this. We have tested these coding on this paper. So now after main test with this coding, we can move to the final template. You'll notice define a template before deadly excluding on it. Let's observe the scored lines here. If you notice there are vertical dashed lines, diagonal dashed lines. These are the vertical dashed lines. And these are the diagonal dashed lines, which is going from left to right and right to left. And also you can notice here that our lines in between the triangle, the center of triangle, which is not connected, and the Arad, it discontinuing the other side. That is, it starts from the top and ends here. And then it can again starts from this point and ends at the bottom. Once we notice these lines, it will be very easy forests to get started with scoring process. What I'm going to do right now is I'm going to go pay the vertical connected lines first. Then I will go with the diagonal lengths from one direction to the other. And the next set of diagonal lines from this direction to this side. So in this way, we will not get confused while you score. And finally, we'll be doing the incomplete lines notice, which is not connected from top to this point and this point to the bottom. Let's get started. When you score, make sure that you will give consistent pressure on all the scored lines. First, starting with the vertical connected lines. In this way, we can speed up the scoring process and also we will not leave any lines score. Now, let's start with the diagonal lines. Now. Start with this diagonal line starting from the other direction. Now if you'll notice, we have completed all the scored lines, except these lines on the top and on the bottom, which is the midline of the triangles on the top and the bottom. Now let's do that. How we can do that in a very easy and efficient method is we have to place a ruler since this is a straight line, but it is not connected. So we will align the ruler on top and the bottom. And then we will use this coding tool. Slide it over this line and n cubed. And we would start here at the bottom. Let's repeat that. Will align the ruler first, and then we will score on only those lines. Now if you notice we have completed the scoring process on one template, the similar method we will be doing on the other sheet as well. 5. Attaching the Sheets Together: In the previous video, we saw how we can score the template in this video, let's see how we can attach two sheets together. For that. I have taken these two sheets snake this, and I'm going to use simple white glue for attaching them together. Now, we are going to fold this flap. This since we have already scored on delaying, it is very easy. We just have to give a little pressure using thymus and then press it towards take this. Once this is done, we are going to apply glue over here and then simply attach it like this, matching the top and the bottom. And to get them. Let's apply some glue. Manual apply glue mixture. You will spread it evenly for that as simple technique is, you can use the nozzle of t, a blue bottle and just spread it along. Now I have applied the clue, am going to simply match the ends like this. We attaching the templates like now is because after we fold it will be difficult for us to attach these two edges together. So this is attached. So we have glued them together. Now, let it dry further away. Let's allow it to dry completely. Because then only we will get a better results while before, while it gets day. And let us see and understand what are the full lines. If you notice here, there are triangles on top with a midline. The same languages carried out here as well. The bottom and the next is a diamond shape with a center line. Now we folded, we are going to use to foods. The first one is the mountain for it. And the second one, the c value food for understanding what is mountain and valley food. If you fold the paper like this, and if the folders like this towards you, then it is called Mountain fault. Doesn't a sheep. If you fold a paper in the reverse direction that is like this, v-shaped, this is called value four. We are going to use these two folding techniques to define which line should be in mountain foot and which line should be in the value for. That way, we can define a shape and completely lamp shade. 6. Folding the Lampshade: In this video, let's see how we can start with the folding process. Before we directly jump into the folding of final template. Let's see a quick example that how we are going to fall. For that. I have taken a sheet of paper that, and also there are some scored lines on top of it. So the first step of folding, what we are going to do is we are just going to fold on all the scored lines that we have created. What I'm going to do is I have 1234. There are four lines over here, so I'm just going to fold on all the scored lines that I have created. This is the first step where I have folded on all the scored lines. The second step of folding will be defining defaults, whether it's a mountain or a value food. Here in this case, I'm going to make this as no value for sine, going to define it like this. If you notice, I'm going to define this as well as a valid food. This is the two-step we're going to use when we folder. First, we are going to fold on all these code lights. And the second process we will be defining the folds, whether it's a mountain or a value food. In this way, we can get a very neat folded. Let's get started. First, I'm going to start with the diagonal lines or lower from this end to the other side, I'm just going to fold these nines. Since we have already scored. It's very easy for me to fold it. I'm just going to fold on all the lines. Slightly. New folder on the scene. It will be little difficult. You can gently press over there. It will be fine. Now. You're just folding on all the diagnosis ninths. Now we add finished towards one row of lights. Let's start with this side. Just for the paper and give a gentle press on this edge. Folded nicely. This just folding on all the diagonal line from this direction. It's very simple to fold because and this is good line already. Now the diagnosis at who work. Now let's go with the vertical lines. Just folding in one direction. Later on we are going to define whether this fold should be in this direction or it should be inverted. Now if you'll notice you have finished that as well. Now let's define these top ones like this. Now, we have simply folder on all the scored lines that is well-connected all over the template. The next step is we are going to define the foods. For that. I'm going to start our start with the top. If you notice in this template, the top and the bottom are very similar. So whatever language we are going to carry out on the top will be for the bottom aspect. Defining it from the top triangle with a center line. With this center line, this endpoint, I'm going to pull them towards like this. Make the folder. Notice how simple it is, just holding on the top end point. And then I'm just folding it like this. This similar way we will do it on the bottom. This is the reason why we folded all the diagonal lines and vertical lines before itself, because these are the lines which is connecting these points. It is also helping us do fold in this week and very easy method. Now we have defined it. Now let's start define more. That is, this center line of the diamond shape should also go and say that this value for it. So I'm going to define that as well. Like this. If you notice here in this diamond shape, we don't have any lines in-between. It will be a little tricky to fold here to retain this end without any Ben. For that, we have to do it very carefully when it comes to this point. Let's hold here. To define the fault nicely. I'm going to keep folding that way. I'm just taking the points in Word Perfect. Now if you see it can hold all these points together, forming the shape that we want. The similar method we are going to do it the bottom. Let's do it very gently. So what we are doing exactly as we are holding the center line of this triangle, the diamond shape, and pulling it inward. This making a valid form. And also we are giving some support here to make the fold cleaner and crisper. If you notice, you can see how I'm doing the support. I'm giving you a gentle pressure to meet default, clean and crisp. So then it would be some lines where we have to give pressure. It will happen automatically because that's the trick that we have used earlier, that we have scored it nicely. Yeah, perfect. You can notice here, this is what will happen. So during that time you just have to give a very mild pressure. It will be all right. Now we have folded the lamp successfully. In the next video, let's see how we can glue them together and complete. 7. Glueing the Top and Side: In this video, let's see how we can attach the two open edges. Let's apply some glue on one side of the flap and then spread it evenly. Perfect. Now let's join these together. Matching the top, this top. Slowly, Lewin till the bottom of the edge. Let's give some gentle pressure and fluid together. Now, let's allow them to drive further away. Once it is dry, then we can go and load the top. For the top, we are going to apply glue on the sides of these triangles. This on either one side. And then we will hold all these, bring it to the center. Make this, in this way, we can join them. For that, we have to start a plain blue on one side of the triangles. Here. I'm going to apply glue. When you apply glue here, you just have to apply the glue on the edges. That is the border of the triangle. First, we can apply glue on all the triangles and then bring them together at once. Once you finish applying glue, you can slowly hold all the ends. That is all the end midpoints and then push them together. See, yeah, perfect. Now we have to hold it for a while till it dries a little bit and then we can do more hands. And then this can sit and stay for another five to ten minutes. Then we can continue with the next process. 8. Closing the Bottom : In this video, let's see how we can close the bottom of the lamp. Glossing the bottom of the lamp. We're not going to use glue. We're going to use this code you'd got for that, we have to make these triangles. Why we're doing this instead of pasting with glue because we will have control over the bottom lock. That is, if you are placing on any light source, we can tighten it as we want. In that way we can control the locking mechanism. Let's make calls. Here. We will be making holds on the transits. Each hole will be there in the center of these strangling. One here, one over here, and one over here. In the similar way, we will be making holds on all the triangles. Let's start not marking any, anything, any point or something. I'm just making hole. You're approximately in the center. Once we make the hoods, we can insert the Jude caught then tie them together. Yeah. Perfect. So now we can insert the jewel code like this. For that. I'm just going to insert it. When you have these kind of problem. We can just apply glue, some glue on the tip of the Ute got. Then we can just lock the end like this. Then it will be ready. You see photos to insert Andy points up with these. See how effective this. It will add a temporary needed for us. Because we have a blade blue, which will make the code ends default. This way we can just pass the code on all the holes like this. From here. Let's insert it again. From the site. From inside to out. I'll find a nice weekend Exit here. Now, you'll notice if I will tighten this book entitled The Lamb, not adhere, we can lock the shape over here like this. If I wanted a little bigger than I can make, like an egg can loosen it a little bit unlocked. You're in this way. We can mount it on top of the light source. Next video, let's see how we can make the tripod for this. 9. Making a Tripod for the Lamp: In this video, let's see how we can make the tripod for the lambda. For that I hadn't taken within three numbers and 12 inch length and macro McCord 3M on thick. First-time going to take one. And then not at over here. Like a simple knot. Make this, if you're using macro McCord like this, then make a simple node at both the ends like this. And the second one, I'm going to place it over it like this, over the code. And the third one I'm going to place it under. Now, we're going to do windy cold on these three would then tell it's alternatively, like I'm going to take this code under this word or this second one. And under the first one. Like that. Let's go again. Over the first one, under the second one, and over the third one. Again. We have to repeat this for four days. Under the last third one, over the second one. The first one. You can just put them together. Now let's repeat over the first one under the second and over the code under the third. Well, the second and under the First. In this way, we have to repeat it four to five times. It can be a little looser, then later on we can tighten it. Now if you'll notice there are four windings here, 12341234 on all the three. Now we can stop, bring all the loops together like this. And we can pull it from here from this end so that it will get tightened. Just hold olive tree like this and pull the court from this end. Now, the next step is we're going to take the cord like this and put it in the in-between leg. We're going to make a loop in between. I'm going to repeat one more time like this. The next step is, we're going to do the same for the second gap. This after the second chord. I'm going to repeat it one more time. Now we can hold the process, make this, you can tighten it a little bit. This is the time that we can spread the legs of the tripod. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to hold the center like this and then pull it towards like this. And then cross it like this. See from the top, center will be pointing here. The first one will be leaning on the last one. In this way. We can lock it. Now we can see how the tray for this form. Now I'm going to use this exists god and make loop over it. This way. I'm going to turn it on passing all the three Fudan done, we can make one simple naught here. Just to lock the position. Like this. I'm making a very simple naught. Now if you see is locked. I just did a little bit. Now this set right time that we can attach a WebSocket. I have a socket. I have attached three watt LED bulb, and I have a black connected. So this can be of your choice. So now I'm going to attach this holder simply like this. And going to make a very simple tying naught here by using this excess rope and winding it two times. Holder. If you notice here, I'm going to pass the code here like this and make a simple node. Now I'm tightening it. Exists codes. We can just connect it like this and make a knot or tapping any loop, stepping in any loop that will work because we just have to hide the exist God. Now we have attached the light source on top of the tripod that we have created using wooden dot. The next step is we're going to assemble the lamp. On top of this. I'm going to just tighten it little bit. Insert the lamp like this, then make a simple not tiny knot so that we can cut the extra. I'm going to cut this exists, this. Perfect. Now you saw how we have mounted on top of this tripod. 10. Conclusion: Thank you for joining me in this glass and I hope you have learned something new. Please share what you have created in the project section and let me know what your thought on the class leader views. Goodbye and GIS.
