Recycle with art #5: Toilet paper roll lamp.// by @shanadesign

I am very happy to be here with you once again, this time to show you my participation in this beautiful contest, which consists of making crafts by recycling toilet paper rolls.

There are a lot of creative manuals what we can do with this type of paper roll, this time I am going to make a beautiful table lamp with the rolls of paper, which is an excellent recycling idea and what fascinates me the most, which is very economical. Here is the step by step.

💡 Step 1

💡 Step 2

Now we are going to take a small roll of the ones we just cut and using the hot silicone we are going to glue the small rolls in the lower part of the large roll, taking into account that we are going to make a circle, then we continue gluing roll to roll, to So that we are shaping our circle and when we lack a single large roll to stick, what we are going to do is stick it so that we do not remain standing like the others if not lying down. Since this is going to be the base of our lamp.

💡 Step 3

Once we have our base structured, we continue to use our small rolls but this time we are going to start gluing them to the top of our structure. It is worth mentioning that for this process there will be no type of order or symmetry, that is, we are going to glue our circles in the way that seems best to us, because the idea is that we have an abstract design lamp. We continue gluing rolls until we have everything covered and we will be doing this procedure on both sides, only on one side we will paste it completely while on the other side we will leave our lid loose to be able to put the light bulb there.

💡 Step 4

This step is the most fun because it is time to paint, we are going to take our black paint and brush and we are going to start painting our structure on all the outside sides, we continue painting until we have the result we want.

In this step you can see the light bulb inside because I decided to test how it looked, but the light bulb is actually placed after having finished painting the structure of the lamp.

💡 Step 5

We have reached our last step, and what we will do here is take our light bulb and our base, roll our cover to be able to insert our light bulb into the large roll that we had placed lying down previously that will actually be the base of the lamp. remain stopped then we introduce our light bulb as you are observing in the image from above and base it from the bottom so that the two coincide and be able to assemble.

Once this is done we are going to proceed to place our cover and glue with hot silicone and that is how we finish our project we already have a table lamp ready to connect and use.

To plug in my lamp I had to strip the wires so that the wire inside it was given and I took an extension, I inserted the wires into the extension hole and then plugged in the extension and thus turned on the lamp. In this way because I was late and I could not go out to buy a plug.

💡 Please don't try it at home haha.

I hope you like my little project ... This time I want to invite you to join the @Draftcrearte community:
