Now does not necessarily throw out the blown bulb. It is better to set it , pick up another 19 pieces and make the original light ! Such a lamp of light bulbs will look very modern and unusual: light bulbs will be fastened to each other as the brink of the ball for football .
You will need the following materials :
- two dozen blown bulbs
- pencil
- paper
- ruler
- Velcro ,
- marker or pen ,
- coin
- glue
- scissors
- power cord
- working lamp
- cartridge and a braided cord .
Manufacturing :
Get started with, draw a sketch of the future tube . Take a sheet of paper (better than a millimeter ), and using a ruler and pencil, divide it into 5 parts . Lead the division in the direction from the center.
Then, in each of the resulting segments of the sheet to place a non-working light bulb. Put them under equal angles to each other. As a result, you should get an isosceles pentagon .
After that, you will need to mark milestones bulbs in places that they touch each other . Do it with a marker or pen. The result for each burned out bulb will be on two labels .
all tags will be three . Put the bulb in the socket at an angle of 45 degrees and mark the highest point - so we get a third mark .
Attach a lamp to one another with gum or glue , but it is best to use Velcro . Put on her small coin ( fit 10 or 5 cents ) and circle it. The resulting circles of Velcro cut in the number of sixty pieces ( total must be paid 3 per bulb ).
Glue Velcro to the bulbs in the ground marked by us . To do this, use superglue . At this point you can begin assembling our lamp . Glue light bulbs with each other in two pieces ( Velcro fastening will keep a very reliable ). Fasten the bottom row of lights, it would be a pentagon of 5 bulbs.
Top glue the two subsequent layers of 5 light bulbs at a slight angle to the bottom row. At the top of the lamp , place a ring of five lamps.
At the last stage we have only to make our original lamp work. Take the power cord (if you want to make it more decorative , wrap it in a red braid ). Plug the cord into a working light bulb socket , placing her in the middle of the lamp. The result was not only beautiful but also useful for flora and fauna piece of furniture - burnt-out light bulbs is difficult to recycle.
