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.

Läckert!

Is there a way I can get the instructions in English?
SvaraRaderaHi krizia!
RaderaI 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:

Hi! This is so cute for any time of year! Can you tell me how you attached the cups to the lights? It looks like an "x" out of something?? Thank you!
SvaraRaderaHi there! I cut a cross in the bottom of the plastic cup and then attached it to the lights. Good luck!
RaderaVery cute!! Does the cup melt when it gets hot at all?
SvaraRaderaHello 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!
RaderaHello Rebecca! I have follow your photo instructions and made mine!

P.S. I love your blog! :)
Wow....I LOVE these! What an amazingly simple but utterly effective idea....Thank you for sharing! x
SvaraRaderajust lovely. i will make this next week :P. thank you for the idea
SvaraRaderaUnderbar. Jag älskar den. Vill kopiera den och ha den hängande i mitt hus. Tack för inspirationen! Jag skall testa något liknande inom kort
SvaraRaderaI just love these fabrics. I've been looking for some red and turquoise. Could you share with me where you found them or who makes them. 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.
SvaraRaderaHi there! The fabrics are from the Swedish/Danish web shop Stoff & Stil: http://www.stoffochstil.se/
RaderaThe 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!
wow this is great...i will do this in my new flat...thank you
SvaraRaderai will follow you ;)
love Franzi
Hi there!thanks so much for sharing this..its lovely and cant wait to try them out myself! I was just wondering Can I maybe use printed colour paper instead of fabric?
SvaraRaderaThanks!
I think that would work just fine.
RaderaThank you, great idea !
SvaraRaderaExcellent and so easy. Good idea.
SvaraRaderaThis is most awesome and my daycare kids would love this in their play area. Thank you for teaching and thank you for the english version.
SvaraRaderaBlessings!!
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
SvaraRaderaThanks for the great pictures and the nice tutorial! This is my version, if you would like to take a look: http://eurefotografin.de/diy-suesse-becherchen-lichterkette-mini-fabric-lamps-garland/
SvaraRaderaI love these little lanterns. I have a thing about miniature things and a thing about lampshades. Thank you for translating into English, as well!!!!
SvaraRaderaThese 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.
SvaraRaderaЗдорово получилось ! Спасибо большое ! Попробуем так сделать!
