Tools & Materials Used
- Lamp in need of a shade
Step 1: Mold The Base Shape Of The Lampshade
Place a styrene sheet over an upside-down large stainless steel bowl. Put on heat-safe gloves and use the heat gun to mold the edges and corners of the styrene sheet around the curves of the bowl.
Step 2: Mold The Rest Of The Lampshade
Cut the styrene into smaller squares, then use a smaller metal bowl to warp the sheets with the heat gun.
Step 3: Super Glue The Lampshade Together
After molding the styrene sheets to your liking, super glue the inner center of the styrene lampshade onto the top of the lamp base. Then, super glue the other warped styrene pieces onto the larger base, creating an overlapping tiled effect. Finally, use the heat gun to make any additional adjustments to the lampshade’s shape, then plug it in!
