Modern stylish chandelier can be quite expensive. But what to do if there is extra money, and want to update the interior? In this case, you need to include fantasy and use their hands. In this article, we’ll show you how to make a strong shade in origami.

Instructions for making a lampshade

In principle, this lampshade can be made of any paper, but its density was above 160 grams per square meter.

We opted for brown paper and the same paper of bright colors.

If you have paper only A4 size, you will have to join two pieces together.

Depending on the pattern, the shape of the shades will be different. In our case we used two templates.

Larger lampshades made of blue and brown paper, and a lengthened — out green.

For each of the shades gone up to 20 minutes of time.

Template 1. Blue and brown lamp shades

Make bends in three different directions, first by the black lines, then red and finally by blue. If you turn the sheet of paper into a tube, she bulges in the right hand, forming the lampshade.

Template 2. Elongated green lamp shade

The technique of the lampshade stays the same, but uses a different template.
