This is not difficult to do, you just need to carefully cut off the parts.So that all joints fit perfectly and do not go abroad.

For manufacturing you will need:

• isolon black and white;
• foamiran green;
• round shade;
• the cardboard from which the template will be made.

Some fixtures will also be needed:

• ruler for measuring the dimensions of the part;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• glue gun, but regular glue can also be used;
• hair dryer (for heating and plasticity of parts).

To make a lamp, we act according to a certain scheme.

1. Templates are made from a sheet of cardboard - 2 patterns (they should be in the form of a pentagon and a hexagon). The width of the sides should be 3 cm. From the black isolon-pentagons in the amount of 12 pieces, and from the white - pentagons in the amount of 19 pieces.
2. Isolon leaves are warmed up with a hairdryer so that all parts on the plafond fit tightly and smoothly. For this, a small depression is made in the middle of the leaf.
3. Then all the parts are glued to the shade using a glue gun. They begin assembly from the center of the top, lowering in the course of work to the lower point of the lamp.
4. During the assembly process, the white leaves are attached to the black ones.
5. The grass is cut from green foamiran. For this, sharp teeth are cut from the strip of material, imitating the stems of grass. The cut grass is glued at the bottom of the lamp around its circumference.
6. As the base of the plafond, a cartridge from a floor lamp or chandelier is used. The only condition is a whole base.
7. After completing the assembly, insert the cartridge into the cover, with the wire already connected.

Prepare the following materials:

• isolon sheets;
• coupling (the wide side is equal in diameter to the size of the cartridge, and the narrow side is equal to the pipe);
• cartridge with a ring;
• 3 meters of wire;
• switch with a plug;
• LED light bulb;
• tube 50-60 cm.

You will need tools:

• knife or sharp scissors;
• hair dryer and screwdriver;
• glue gun, glue.

Not to do without an electrical part

Disassemble the base using a screwdriver. Strip the wires. Insert the wires into the lower base / plinth and mount. Close the plinth. Pass the wire with the base into the sleeve and screw it tight. Wrap the sleeve in the workpiece, this will be the middle.

The assembly of the flower will look like this.

1. Place two petals on the sleeve on the glue, wrapping the base. The base is ready.
2. We continue to glue small, then large petals onto the sleeve.
3. Having passed the first row of petals, from the second we begin heating each petal with a hairdryer. Slightly rounding the top to create a wavy edge that curves outward.
4. In the middle, you need to make a little indentation so that the isolon leaf takes the shape of a rose petal.
5. When all the rose petals are done, continue to overlap them. As a result, one petal is located between the other two petals.
6. We twist the tube as the base of the lamp in the form of a circle or square. You can glue the base with straighter petals.
7. After assembly, insert the cartridge into the sleeve with the wire connected.
8. Connect the plug, switch and light bulb.

The wall lamp in the shape of a rose is ready.

In order for the lamp to serve for a long time, you need to follow some rules for caring for it.

• It should be remembered that Izolon is afraid of heat emitters. Therefore, you should not hang lamps near radiators, fireplaces and risers (pipes). LED lamps are used in the luminaires.
• Flower petals and other parts of the decor should be wiped with a damp soft cloth, from dust and other dirt. No abrasive cleaning agents are used.
• Use a cold blow dryer to remove dust.

If earlier lifeless flowers were considered a sign of bad taste, then it is the flowers from isolone that are increasingly gaining the laurels of decor. Different in size, shade and appearance, they become an adornment of celebrations, holidays and photo studios.

Decoration of walls, panels and paintings. Making growth flowers on long stems, both as independent decorative items and analogs to floor lamps.

Decorating a children's room with lamps for a boy in the shape of a soccer ball, or any toy. For girls, from lamp-dolls to fairy-tale characters. Izolon will complement any projection of the toy.
