Making lamps in the form of a hydrangea from isolon

Isolon is a modern material that is often used in home decor. It is used to design attractive luminaires in the form of various colors, such as hydrangeas.

To make a lamp in the form of a hydrangea, you will need sheets Isolona - an insulating material used in construction... Despite the fact that its thickness can vary from 2 millimeters to 1 centimeter, it is better to choose the thinnest option for creating crafts. It is recommended to take a cross-linked isolon, which has improved properties obtained through pre-treatment.

Non-stitched material will cost less, but it will also show itself much worse in operation. A hydrangea lamp can be made as a floor or tabletop structure. The petals of the bud are attached either to the sleeve or to the finished ball-shaped lamp.

Izolon can be easily cut with ordinary scissors, and individual parts can be fixed either with threads, or with hot glue or PVA glue... You can paint the material only with acrylic paints or aerosol. To create a hydrangea lamp, you will need isolon sheets of different colors and shades, scissors, a glue gun with rods, and a building hair dryer. If a ready-made lamp is not used, then the lighting mechanism will need to be created from a coupling, a cartridge with a ring, a wire and a plug.

To make a lamp in the form of a hydrangea from an isolon, you will need to follow the instructions of a simple master class step by step. To create a simple tabletop decorative element, you will need a small round plastic shade, a holder with a stand, an LED light bulb, a cord with a plug, and a glue gun.

MK requires the use of 60 squares of pastel-colored isolon with sides of 9 cm. You can decorate the finished lamp with mother-of-pearl beads. The basis for the hydrangea will be a spherical plastic shade and a holder in a stand, which are easily purchased at any specialized store. You can also buy a light bulb and a cord with a plug there.

Squares with sides of 9 cm are cut from the isolon with scissors or a cutter on paper. It is more convenient to do this using a cardboard template. It should be added that sheets with a thickness of 2 mm are suitable for work, but if suddenly a thickness of 1 mm is found, then it is worth giving preference to it.

After cutting 60 squares, each must be folded in half and cut in such a way that the middle remains intact. The procedure is repeated, after which 4 small squares should be obtained, connecting in the middle.

After cutting off the side corners on each mini-blank, it is necessary to form the petals. The building hair dryer warms up to 230 degrees. With the help of the device, the middle of each workpiece is warmed up, after which a small notch is made in it with a finger. Then, with a hairdryer, you will need to process the middle of each petal and use two fingers to make a depression. At the next stage, the ends of the petals on the back of the flower are warmed up, clamps are formed. Another warm-up will allow you to make a beautiful depression.

The gluing of the hydrangea components starts from the upper part of the plafond. The middle of each small flower is decorated with a bead. The wires stripped 1-1.5 cm are inserted into the cover and fixed with bolts. A semicircle is cut into the stand for the cord. A rounded detail made of izolon of a different shade will allow not only masking, but also to reliably insulate the bottom of the luminaire. Everything is fixed with hot glue.

A hydrangea lamp, in order for it to look especially impressive, is best placed on some dark background. Even at the stage of preparation, when purchasing materials, it is important to choose a wire of exactly white color, like the switch. But the LED bulb, when the first one fails, you can choose a colored one. Pink or blue glow in combination with snow-white petals will create an unforgettable atmosphere in the room.

Another great solution would be to create hydrangea petals of not one color, but several. For example, a winning combination is obtained by combining white and yellow shades.
