How to update the flooring

If you have a lamp or a lamp that you would like to update or you want to purchase an original thing that has no one, then why not make it wrong with your own hands with minimal cost? It's no secret to anyone that often original design things are a decent amount and it is very difficult to choose exactly what is necessary and the most organically fit into the already existing interior. We bring to your attention instructions on how to update the flooring / lamp with a lamp with a tissue, and therefore give it a unique look.

You will need:

  • lamp with lampshade / floor lamp,
  • loved fabric, which will sow our floor lamp (take fabric with a margin),
  • aerosol glue (spray) for fabric,
  • fire retardant spray for fabric,
  • newspaper (for "pattern"),
  • woolen thread
  • marker (Feltaster, handle),
  • rope,
  • chalk / wash dry soap.

Process:

1. Make a pattern for a lamp.

If you have a cylindrical flooring - measure the girth and the height of the lamp and draw a pattern for it as a rectangle. But if he is a trapezoidal form - you have to tinker a little.

To do this: Take a woolen thread and vertically tightly tightly, make sure that the thread sits firmly and strictly vertically perpendicular to the surface (i.e. not shifted). Estate the sheets of newspaper, connected to each other on a solid stable surface (table, for example), take the lamp in the hands and start on the newspaper to gradually led by the flooring (as shown in the figure). At the same time, simultaneously mark the "trajectory" of the movement of the lamp. Start the movement from the place that is covered with a woolen thread as soon as you make a whole circle - you can finish.

If you have a good hand naked, then you, of course, and other way you can get the exact shape of the flooring and not only to the eye. For example, this can be done using a meter and newspapers, only this time directly apply it to the standing flooring. And you can replace the newspaper with a felt-tip pen with a piece of unnecessary dark fabric and chalk or a dry slice of soap. In general, as you make the pattern - your business, most importantly, so that it fit to Torshor.

2. Add 1 cm to each side of the pattern (they are necessary for future seams). Again, with a rounded pattern, it is necessary to tinker a little, evenly adding 1 cm. Cut the resulting pattern.

3. Attach the pattern to the back of the tissue, circle its contour shallow, cut out the fabric.

4. Now it's time to take up the tissue glue and carefully, following the instructions on the canister, distribute it along the edges of the lamp to them to sprinkle the edges of the fabric - as you will be more convenient. Cut the fabric to the lamp, the same procedure, with the tissue deposits and bend them, as shown in the figure. Give glue time to dry.

5. If you are fully satisfied with the result and the fabric on the flooring is firmly, you can process the entire floor-cutting spray for tissue.

Now you know how easy you can update the flooring with your own hands with minimal cost!
