DIY: Ljusslinga med lampskärmar * Lamp shades on a string


Hos Fabriken pågår just nu en riktig julstuga där tipsen på julpyssel blir fler och fler. Mitt bidrag blir denna ljusslinga gjord med plastmuggar. Mannen tyckte att färgvalen var somriga, men jag vill gärna att slingan håller även efter nyår och därför valde jag pasteller och mycket färger.

Jag var på en utbildning för ett tag sedan. Där fanns det traditionella mineralvattnet med plastmuggar, eller ja, alla andra tog dem för muggar men jag såg direkt att det egentligen var små lampskärmar. I sann återvinningsanda och med risken för att verka lite knäpp, tog jag hand om de flesta använda muggar, tog med dem hem och diskade ur dem. Idag gjorde jag om samtliga till små lampskärmar med hjälp av tyg och lim.

At work the other day I noticed that the plastic cups for mineral water looked like tiny, tiny lamp shades. I brought home a bunch of them and started the transformation using glue and fabric.


Rita av muggen genom att rulla den över ett papper och rita utmed över- och undersida.

To create a template to use when cutting out the fabric to glue on the plastic cup, place it on a sheet of paper and draw along the top and bottom while rolling it across the paper.


Klipp ut tygbitar utifrån mallen. Jag hade 16 muggar och klippte således ut 16 tygbitar.

Cut the fabric using the template you just created. I had 16 cups so I cut out 16 pieces of fabric.


Limma tygbitarna runt muggarna. Jag använde decoupagelim. Skär/klipp sedan ett kors i botten på muggen och trä på muggarna/lampskärmarna på en ljusslinga.

Glue the fabric onto the cup. Cut a cross at the bottom of the cup so you can slip the lampshades onto the lamps. I use a string with ordinary lights and have had them on for hours with out the cups melting. But if you are worried, use LED-lights.


Segla nu in och titta på alla andra fina bidrag på julpyssel hos Fabriken.

  1. Läckert!

    Påminner mig om en slinga jag såg någonstans som var gjord av muffinsformar, men din har ju skarpare och finare färger!

    1. Hi krizia!
      I hope you can use the google translation bar up in the right corner. I know the translations can be quit goofy sometimes but I think you will understand, or else feel free to ask. If there is a problem with the translator, this blog has posted it with a translation:

    1. Hello there and thank you! No, the cup does not melt at all, and I do not even use led-lights. They have been on for hours in my kitchen, but if you are still worried you should use led-lights. Good luck!

I would much appreciate any information you can share on these fabrics.....specifically the large piece hanging in the background and the red/white/turqouise one. Thank you.

    1. Hi there! The fabrics are from the Swedish/Danish web shop Stoff & Stil: http://www.stoffochstil.se/
      The fabrics I used in this tutorial are 2-3 years old but they have lots of other beautiful fabrics in the same style, though I don't know if they ship outside Sweden/Denmark. Good luck!

  31. Thankyou so much for this great tutorial. Wonderful idea! I have just finished mine and they look lovely (if I do say so myself). I used thicker plastic cups (plastic spirit glasses) and melted a hole in the top using some steel bar which I heated up at work (though could do it at home with a blowtorch and the end of a bolt or something) sot hey are really sturdy and were easy to cover with the fabric. I put elastic bands on the bulb holders (once the cups were over them) to stop the bulbs from slipping out of the holes. I am going to try these next time with thick papers and use my embossing punch to put 3D butterflies and dragonflies in the paper first. Thanks so much for sharing this blog! Amy xx

  33. I love these little lanterns. I have a thing about miniature things and a thing about lampshades. Thank you for translating into English, as well!!!!

    SvaraRadera
  34. These are lovely! Do you think this would work if I used scrapbooking paper rather than fabric to cover my cups? I have a large stash of that, and would like to use it; I think the lights we have are LED.

  37. HELLO GET OUT OF FINANCIAL MESS WITH THE HELP OF drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com

    I have been in financial mess for the past months, I’m a single mum with kids to look after. My name is REBECCA MICHAELSON, and am from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. A couple of weeks ago My friend visited me and along our discussion she told me about DR BENJAMIN OWEN FINANCE of (drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com); that he can help me out of my financial situation, I never believed cause I have spend so much money on different loan lenders who did nothing other than running away with my money. She advised, I gave it a try because she and some of her colleagues were rescued too by this Godsent lender with loans to revive their dying businesses and paying off bills. so I mailed him and explain all about my financial situation and therefore took me through the loan process which was very brief and easy. After that my loan application worth $278,000.00USD was granted, all i did was to follow the processing and be cooperative and today I am a proud business owner sharing the testimony of God-sent Lender. You can as well reach him through the Company WhatsApp +19292227023 Email drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH

  39. Jag skulle vilja rekommendera er alla till en trovärdig och uppriktig privatlångivare som godkände mitt lån till mig bara inom några timmar efter så många misslyckade försök att få ett lån, jag blev förvånad och glad över att den privata långivaren räddade mig och erbjöd mig en lån med 2% ränta, kontakta henne nu om du behöver ett akut lån E-post: christywalton355@gmail.com
