Hemp twine lampshade

How to make a jute twine lampshade

Lampshades made with jute twine look cool and very charming when displayed in a room, don’t they? The truth is, you can make one easily by hand.

Inflate a 6-inch balloon to the size you want for the lampshade and secure it, then brush on glue thinned with water.

Just like making papier-mâché, wrap the balloon with jute twine in your favorite color.

Use a brush to soak the twine with the adhesive as you go, wrapping it so it doesn’t unravel.

Once you’ve finished wrapping and the whole thing is completely dry, pop the balloon inside.

Cut out the opening for the light, remove any balloon pieces stuck to the twine, and you’re done.

Making felt flowers

@n.annlee321

Felt flower series ☺️ Pipe cleaners are pretty handy too 👍#tiktok classroom#StayHomeTimeLife with childrenwork

♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey

Why not try making flowers that never wilt using felt and pipe cleaners? It’s very easy and cute.

First, cut petals out of felt.

Slightly fold the base of each petal and snip along the crease—this is where you’ll thread the pipe cleaner later.

Cut a light green pipe cleaner into three 4 cm pieces.

Lay two pieces in an X shape, then place the third straight across and twist to form the stamen.

Wrap a green pipe cleaner around to make the stem, and wrap a yellow pipe cleaner around the tip of the stamen to represent the pollen.

Finally, thread the petals onto the stem and glue them in place to finish.

Try making your favorite flowers!
