How to make a "Flower" floor lamp from Isolon

It is enough to see once a growth flower-floor lamp glowing in the gloom to lose peace from the desire to see this beauty at home. Those who have experience in making decorative flowers of ordinary size, such work will be especially to their liking.

Preparation of materials and tools for creating the floor lamp "Isolon"

How to make a floor lamp from Isolon do it yourself? Isolon is a very interesting material for color makers. It is sold in different thicknesses from 0.2 cm to 1 cm. For growth products, a thickness of 2 mm is well suited.

The second important property is the color of the material sold. The fact is that the isolon is not painted with ordinary fabric dyes, only with rubber or acrylic paint. If you're lucky, you can find a rich palette of shades of this material in the store.

Isolon does not burn, only melts, including from hot air. It will be possible to form beautiful bends of the petals using a regular hairdryer. It is only important that he has at least two modes - cold and hot air.

Petals can also be formed over a hotplate. Hot air rising up is even easier to control, especially on the petals of a smaller diameter. So, for work we need:

  • Isolon white or color, 2 mm thick;
  • Hairdryer or small tabletop stove;
  • Acrylic or rubber paint, if desired, you can do without it;
  • A metal-plastic pipe is the future stem of a flower;
  • Cartridge, wire, plug and bulb;
  • A heavy base-flower pot for a flower can be made independently by pouring concrete with a pipe of a larger diameter than a prepared metal-plastic pipe-stem;
  • Glue gun and silicone sticks;
  • Scissors, knife, screwdriver.

Important! The larger the flower, the more stable the base should be.

And the main thing is to prepare a free corner in the room, which will be successfully decorated with a handsome growth. The floor lamp will look very beautiful against the background of a curtained curtain.

Drawing up a pattern of petals, stem and leaves

How to make a flower floor lamp from Isolon? You can see the idea on the Internet or in nature. Experienced color makers, in order to master a new kind of flower, disassemble a live specimen. Nature is the best role model.

For a rose, for example, you need to prepare petals of different sizes. The largest for the floor lamp can be 45x45 cm, 30x30 cm or 12x12 cm. The petals located inside the flower will be smaller than the outer large ones. The total size can be 2-5, depending on the size and the desired look.

Reference! The most successful isolon for a beginner color handler: 2 mm thick. Such a petal will not melt from hot air and will keep its shape well in a large flower.

The prepared leaflets of the stem, in size, should be like one of the inner petals.

Assembling the product and connecting the wire with the plug and the cartridge

You need to mold the petals from the smallest. Holding it over a hot stove, we get a shape similar to the natural one. The cartridge connected to the wire is located inside the plastic box.

Such a base with a box will give the volume of the structure without undue weighting. Glue the petals on top of the workpiece with heated silicone: at first they will be smaller, further larger and at the end the largest. Leaves for the stem will add naturalness.

Their formation is carried out similarly to flower petals. The stem from the metal-plastic pipe, to give naturalness, can be slightly bent. All joints are glued with silicone glue. The flower connects to the stem, into which a wiring wire is passed. It is better to take a light bulb, which is less heated during operation.

The light from such a floor lamp is soft diffused. It will become your favorite night light. Its subdued light sets off the beauty of the flower. The growth flower floor lamp, even without staining the petals, is very beautiful.
