How to fold a creative paper lampshade. Illustration of how to fold a beautiful lampshade.

1. Origami mushroom lamp

Lights bring us brightness and warmth, while creative lampshades can make monotonous lights full of design beauty. Let me share with you how to make an origami lampshade, using "belly fold" to achieve it. Paper size: about 80cm × 30cm. You can also adjust the paper size according to the size of the lamp. Note that the length:width should not be less than 2:1, and the paper should be kraft paper.

The line in the middle of the fold is the center line, and the ratio of the three parts is 1:1:2. This can also be adjusted.

Fold the paper horizontally and in half as many times as you like.

Start changing the trend of paper.

This requires the basics of snake viper folding.

The first level of turning is completed.

The second layer uses the same treatment technique.

Demonstration components, if you understandAlright, let’s officially begin!

2.2 Thin neck fish scale lamp

Use full-open kraft paper, please note that it is fully open (the size of fully-open kraft paper is approximately 0.8 meters × 1 meter).

Fold it in half to define a square.

You need a 64×64 grid. Here we use the entire open paper. Fold the 64×64 grid into the square paper you just designated. The extra part extends all the way, so it is actually a 64×64+ grid. .

This is time consuming, so be patient.

Okay.

Ready to post.
