I wanted a chic origami lamp for my bedroom makeover - but the ones I liked were $165 (and don't appear to be available currently). So I made my own!
#reissued #origamilamp #origamidiy
Materials I used:
$3.50 lamp from Goodwill
$1.50 smart bulb (I got a 4 pack for $6 in my Liquidation Shopping Secrets video)
AND 12x18 paper, a wood lamp base, a strong needle, and white quilting thread that I had on hand. So I only spent $5!
Even if you don't have many of these items already, this is still an easy and affordable project for a killer custom look!
Here are the other creators that I referenced:

I like the juxtaposition of the modern looking light fixture in that more traditional space. The draping of the electrical cord is well done. I made a light fixture for client to hang over an island, and made it in a way that it looked like an oil lamp that had been converted to electricity and we got some cloth wrapped twisted electrical cord and ran it in a similar way to the lamps. That shade turned out fantastic, I wasn't fussy about the wood base, but when on and in your chamber it does suit.

@REISSUED 11 ай бұрын

Ooh your lamp sounds super cool! And I’m glad you like mine! It feels a little weird at the moment - but I have faith that with all of the other elements I have planned for the room, it’s gonna come together

@jelsner5077 11 ай бұрын

Looks great! You can get on/off switches that can install right on the lamp cord. The switch is a small wheel that is turned to click the lamp on or off. They're inexpensive, very quick to install and are available in the lamp parts section of the hardware store. Also, you could put your fireproofing solution in a spray bottle and spritz the finished shade very lightly, letting it dry and spritzing again a few times.

@REISSUED 11 ай бұрын

Great tips!

@221b-Maker-Street 10 ай бұрын

Yes,I was going to suggest spritzing _afterwards_ as a potential option. Though some spray bottles are a bit inconsistent and it'd be grim to get blobs after all that folding... 🥴 I think one of those incredibly fine 'constant misters' that hairdressers use might do the trick. The droplet size is uniform and positively minute. Either way, this lamp is magnificent, @REISSUED! 🤍

WOW. Yours looks better than the inspo ! Also.......DANG ! I have tried a similar shade in the past and totally understand the mental athletics. For those attempting this at home, take the suggestion of working up a prototype first, especially if you have bought some nice paper. And when ready. CLEAN YOUR SURFACE and WASH YOUR HANDS FIRST (or wear latex gloves) we don't need any unwanted oil stains on the beautiful artwork you have created. Cannot wait to see what's next.

@rickgarms7656 11 ай бұрын

Very Nice Andrew. I'm not sure what rag content or weight of paper you're using. But using a folding or burnishing bone really helps in making 'crisp' edges for paper folding projects of all kinds. (A few bucks) Years ago, I used a handmade Mulberry paper from Japan to make some lamps with very thin balsa wood structures with varying success. I approached the 'flame proofing' 2 ways. 1. Use an acrylic gel medium to coat the paper & 2. Used a "standard to chandelier" socket reducer to be able to use a smaller diameter and wattage bulb. That works especially well for atmospheric lighting. I may have mentioned this before but I have a bit of a lamp fetish! LOL Another great project Andrew! Cheers.
