Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    Cut hook off of wire hanger leaving a 2-inch "stem". Using the pliers, bend stem over clockwise, and then counter-clockwise, creating an "s" shape in the wire.

  2. Step 2 2

    Pull bottom angle of hanger downward, creating a diamond shape. Pinch bottom corner with pliers to reinforce.

  3. 3

    Cut each piece of cardstock into a perfect square. You can make the squares of any size, but remember that your wire hanger structure must fit inside the lamp once the lamp is complete.

  4. Step 4 4

    Cut two slits into each piece of paper.

  5. Step 5 5

    Curl the corners of the square inward and slide the slits into each other to create the cylinder shape. Repeat with all eight squares.

  6. Step 6 6

    Glue each cylinder shape side-by-side until lamp shade is complete.

  7. 7

    Place the light bulb and fixture in the hanger frame and secure the chord to the wire in the "s" shape.

  8. 8

    Staple either side of the hanger frame to the top opening of the lamp.
