How to make a cute DIY paper lampshade?
assistant
1. Start by gathering your materials. You will need paper, scissors, glue, a ruler, stapler, and string for hanging.
2. Cut your paper into strips of the same length. Aim for about 20 strips, 5-6 inches long.
3. Starting from one end of the strip, make small accordion folds along the length of each strip, about one-third of an inch apart from each other.
4. Take two strips and overlay them on top of each other. Make sure the folds match on each side. Place a small dot of glue on the overlapped edges and press them together to secure.
5. Start joining your strips together, one at a time. Add a dot of glue and press them together.
6. When all your strips are joined together in a circular shape, use a ruler to measure the circumference of the lampshade. Cut a few inches of string according to your measurements.
7. Tie an end of the string to one side of the lampshade and then use a stapler to stick the other end of the string to the other side.
8. Hang your lampshade and enjoy the beautiful glow of your cute DIY paper lampshade.
