If you like to look up at the stars, you will definitely like this beautiful icosahedral starlight projection lamp! Its shape itself is a beautiful work of art, and at night, it can also create an amazing effect on your ceiling. Amazing starry night effect!
First print the drawings provided in this tutorial and paste them to make two three-dimensional structural units.
Paste them together to form the final star projection lamp. Of course, we also need to put lighting fixtures inside.
Material Tools:
1) Quick-drying liquid glue
2)12 jammed papers
3) Scissors
4)Printer
5)LED lights or flameless candles
6) Carving knife
7)Binder
8) brush
1. Use a printer to print 8 paper.pdf and 4 paper2.pdf on blue cardboard. Download address:[Starlight projection lamp drawing paper.pdf][Starlight projection lamp drawing paper2.pdf]
2. After printing all 12 pieces of paper, cut on the solid lines around each large and small triangle piece. Then cut out any shape you want to cast a shadow. I recommend using a hole punch to randomly punch out the stars within the dotted lines.
3. Fold inward along the dotted line, please do this for all triangles. Don't mix large triangles with small triangles.
4. Starting from the small triangle, use a brush to apply glue on the folded label.
5. Glue the short sides of the three small triangles together and let them dry. All smaller triangles do this well.
6. Repeat this process with larger triangles, but in groups of 5, making sure the glue is dry.
7. Once the 3 and 5 triangle glued components have dried, glue the remaining tabs on their first and last triangles together to form a pyramid shape.
8. Make sure the labels are on the inside of the pyramid and use binder clips to hold the labels together until they are dry. The picture above is a pyramid composed of five large triangles, 12 of which need to be made.
9. Then make a small pyramid composed of three small triangles.
10. It should look like this when completed. You need to do 19.
11. Pay special attention to the processing of the pasted edges. Clear lines will make the final work more beautiful.
12. Once you have 12 five-sided pyramids and 19 three-sided pyramids, you can do the final gluing.
13. Glue 3 five-sided pyramids on each of the three labels in the three-sided pyramid.
14. Use binder clips as needed to hold the labels together while gluing.
Then, glue the label for the three-sided pyramid between each five-sided pyramid. Repeat until the last triangular hole is left.
15. Choosing the right light to cast shadows is also important for this project.
16. The best light is an LED light, you can choose to have a built-in LED or a flameless tea light (its not that bright). Of course, you can also use your smartphone or flashlight!
17.Finally find a quiet night, turn off the room lights, and enjoy this beautiful starry night~
