Cut the Plastic Bottle
Take an empty plastic bottle and hold it horizontal. Cut the upper part of it carefully with knife. This is to make the head of our lampshade.
Paint the Plastic Bottle
Now paint the plastic bottle with green and yellow color. You can use acrylic colors for this.
Draw Characters
In order to decorate further draw some tribal characters on the plastic head using black color. This type of drawing is called "Warli" art which is an ancient drawing art form in one of the tribes living in the forests in India.
Final Look of Lamphead
This is how your lampshade head will look like after drawing is done.
Make Plastic Leaves
Now we will make some leaves. For this, cut a small plastic piece from rest of the bottle and cut it further in leaves shape. Paint and decorate these plastic leaves in green colors and add detailing.
Make Crepe Paper Leaves
Next take a crepe paper and create some leaves out of it. Also collect some ready made flowers from the market.
Create a Wired Stand
Now take the wire and form a triangular shape with it. This will form the base of the lampshade.
Complete the Stand
Erect the stand and it will look like this.
Decorate the Stand
Now cover the stand with color tape and attach the plastic leaves and crepe paper leaves on it. It will start looking more beautiful!
Fix the Lamphead to It
Now attache the lamphead to the stand at the top. Use glue gun to make it tight. Make a hole at the top of the lampshade and insert the stand shaft in it to fix it tight.
Our Lampshade Is READY!
Finally fix small torch light inside the lamphead witht he help of glue gun. Now your lampsahde craft is ready!
