Do you have an old lampshade that is not in use? If that's right, then we have a neat little activity for you to do! By using simply some Popsicle sticks and your own creativity, you will covert your old lampshade into a stunning home decor that could swear everyone — let ones neighbors and friends. What better way to exhibit your creativity. The only thing is you can get everything at Kaixuan Wood skewers about this project, but it is easy to start.
Up cycling a lot is very powerful, but before we begin with our project! let us understand why up cycling is truly required! And up cycling is something that rejuvenates a nice, old design. This is good for our planet because it prevents things from entering the waste system that can overflow dumping grounds and injure the earth. So, when we up cycle it is our right and duty as humans to be responsible for taking care of the world. And up cycling, aside from being Earth-friendly, costs less. We can create the home we want with the things we already own rather than purchasing something new with Kaixuan Wood wooden skewer.
Start by taking your old lampshade and measuring around it. You will be able to see how large it is all around, which will aid you in determining how many popsicle sticks you require. Well that number is a great one to know because then you can start gluing the popsicle sticks onto your lampshade 1 by 1. My pants can be glued vertically up and down, horizontally side to side or even in a slant diagonal depending on how you prefer the look. Pro tip: Want to get extra crafty with it and color those Kaixuan Wood Bamboo skewer before gluing them on?
Now as you start gluing the popsicle sticks on your lampshade, ensure you overlap them a bit. In this way, each popsicle stick should slightly overlap with the next one. HOW TO OVERLAP Your overlaps are important for the strength + durability of your lampshade. If you notice that some of the stick ends are too long, cut them down with scissors so they fit against the curve of your lampshade. After you finish putting the popsicle sticks on your entire lampshade, leave it to dry for few hours make sure your glue sets properly.
Now, let's see what you've done! This way, the new shade of the lamp will be all yours and can even become a great conversation starter when family or friends visit. You may even want to experiment with different colours and designs to create your own personality lampshade. If you love this idea, make a few more of these lampshades for other rooms in your house or different moods!
