Exclusive offersWooden Ball Lampshade
Instructions No. 2119This lampshade is made of different sized wooden balls. When hung up, it becomes a great eye-catcher that matches the boho style.
The lamp ring used consists of two parts; one ring with an inner part and one without. For this idea, only the ring with inner part is used. A metal ring with a diameter of 15 cm is used as the inner ring.
Start by cutting 42x 100 cm pieces of warp yarn. Double each of these and attach 21 ribbons to the lamp ring, the other 21 to the metal ring. Use the lark's head knot to attach the ribbons. Important: Make sure that the ribbons are approximately the same distance apart. As soon as all the ribbons are attached, fix them to the rings with craft glue. This way nothing can slip.
After the glue has dried, the balls are attached. The quickest way to do this is with a large needle. Thread the balls as follows:
Sequence lamp ring: 1x wooden ball 15 cm - 8x wooden ball 20 cm - 1x wooden ball 15 cm.
Sequence metal ring: 1x wooden ball 20 cm - 17x wooden ball 15 cm
Create 42 tassels using the template and the cotton cord. As soon as one row of the wooden balls is finished, string a tassel. The remaining thread (on which the wooden balls hang) is put through the tassel from above with a needle and fixed from below with several knots. It is important that nothing is pulled too tightly. The balls should be a little loose and thus hang straight down.
Now attach the lamp connector to the lamp ring. Glue the small metal ring onto the lamp ring from above. Use superglue or hot glue for this. Make sure that the small ring is glued in the middle. Otherwise the lamp will hang crooked.
