Instructions STEP 1: GET MY FREE DIY PAPER LAMP FILEįirst, download Design #272 which is my free DIY Hanging Lamp SVG/DXF/PDF from my free resource library. So let me show you where to find the designs, and then I’ll show you how to cut and assemble your hanging lamp! This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience (which means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission but it won’t cost you a penny more)! Read my full disclosure policy. You’ll also find a Scraper Tool helpful in folding this 3D paper structure, too! I used my Cricut cutting machine to cut the gorgeous intricate cuts in the lamp, along with the Cricut Fine-Point Blade, the Scoring Stylus or Scoring Tool, and a Green StandardGrip Machine Mat. Do not put any light source that will generate heat into this paper lamp! It’s VERY important you use only an LED light in your lamp, as it will not generate any infrared heat. For this project, we’re using an LED light, forty watts or the equivalent. The only other item you’ll need to get is the light itself. If you use a cardstock with a texture, like glitter, you may need to experiment with glues or even double-sided tape to find the best adhesive for your paper. You can also use tacky glue or a gel super glue. For example, a hot glue gun and glue sticks work great. (laugh)Īs for glue, you can use anything that keeps it together. Just keep in mind that glitter cardstocks can be harder to glue. I used regular cardstock, but feel free to get fancier with specal cardstock, like holographic foil Kraft board. You’ll want the 12″ x 12″ size of cardstock. To make this hanging lamp, you need just FIVE sheets of cardstock in 65 lb. Isn’t this hanging lamp gorgeous? It reminds me the trendy lighting figures you’d find at IKEA … and I love me some IKEA designs! You can even earn bonus entries for sharing photos of the daily projects!
