I kept the design of the shades dead simple so I could spend most of my time focusing on the details of construction. I also tested every step of the process individually before starting on the lamps themselves. If any detail wasn't going to work out, I wanted the flexibility to adapt the whole design if needed. I'll post separately about this "R&D" phase of the design. The gist of it is to make some PVC hoops with a central disk on one of them. Then glue two sheets of paper around the border and attach to a pendant light fixture. Easy peasy! - Jak na to + styl
Thanks for this every other video is literally NOT making the shade but repairing or replacing the material in a shade vs CREATING a shade. This is what i needed
I have been browsing through the eons of diy lampshade videos on the internet, I watched multiple women showing how to put stuff on perfectly good lampshades, thousands of words spoken but not one showing how to actually make a normal lampshade and then I reached it.
The last page of the internet, a sole man making a lampshade in his garage, no words spoken, the lampshade was done.
I applaud you good sir.
Same here 😊
Can't agree more.
Using the CD for the centre ring .... brilliant !
Best one of these on CZcams.... honestly....
Thank you! This is exactly the sort of information I've been looking for. I would never have thought to use pvc pipe!
BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!! Thanks for going straight to the point
WAHLA... Brillant
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much
Using the pvc pipe as a frame was a gem of an idea.
One of the better ideas I have seen.I would cover my shade with linen fabric like the ones on the Restoration Hardware catalog which sell for big bucks.
Beautifully done 💗
What kind of paper did you use?
nunca había visto un enchufe en el techo de una habitación...optimo!

Amezing video
Amazing job, could you tell met the paper name you used or the link where can i buy it the paper sheet thank.
The paper was one of the hardest things to find. I found it at one of the local art supply stores. I think it might have been some type of mylar.
@@NikKinnaird Mylar...is it known by any other name?
It would be EXTREMELY MORE USEFUL IF YOU COULD PLEASE LIST YOUR ITEMS In CORRECT EXACT SIZE/NAME /AND TYPE OF PVC, WIRE GAUGE AND TIPS HOW YOU DID THE DRILL -WOUND WIRE TRICK -ALSO THE MATERIAL YOU USED FOR THE SHADE- just saying it was paper is useless information as it would have to be extremely opaque, strong and rigid - giving us links or exact store referrals is what we need to know in order to copy you/ your ideas and intuitive way you used the items is great but please do a new video with better precise directions and items- just think how many MORE VIEWS YOU WOULD GET!
@@LJSask yes that would be very helpful
Styrene sheets works great
what type glue did you use ...I made mine and used hit glue to put the CD and wires together ...it fell off after four to did mins ...can; use crazy glue?
I used E6000 (industrial strength adhesive). Available at home depot.

You can use poster paper and cover it with wall paper if you want patterns or prints
Poster paper is quite expensive..?

Nik Kinnaird Thank you so much for the quick reply I’ll try and look into is, is the paper kind of like a board? I tried and researched a bit and apparently it suggests that we can use adhesive styrene as well. :)
Word!!!
Material?

@@NikKinnaird Thank you
What material was that for the hoops?
It is a narrow bendable pvc pipe
