Balloon Lamp with recycled materials

Balloon Lamp push

An original lamp globe is the project that will be performed on this occasion mechanism driven by "push" and made ​​almost entirely from recycled materials.
Although we had other projects in production queue, even some already started, with many requests for this craft, we decided to do it before any other.
If you like creative crafts made with plastic bottles you can see these items, in which we collected a lot of ideas:

On the other hand, and to be as environmentally friendly, the lighting system installed to take this lamp globe, will consist of 3 leds .
Because of its complexity, we have found it necessary to do it in two parts.
A first tutorial in which we will make the tulip, transforming a plastic bottle on an original decorative balloon.
And a second tutorial in which adapt this globe making an original lamp push desktop globe.

Materials need
This first part need for the following materials:

    A plastic bottle half liter or two liters. We choose it in a color that looks after.
    Masking tape.
    Adhesive plastic sheet (which is used for covering books).
    Rule and metro.
    Fine point permanent marker.
    Cutter.
    Scissors.
    Drill and small diameter metal.
    Nylon (fishing line).
    A finite piece of wire.
    Pliers
    Thermo adhesive gun.

Procedure

Well here we go ...

Step 1: First of all we have to eliminate any type of label that can lead attached bottle and seal.
Then as, with pressure, sinking inward to manipulate more comfortably, fill it full of water.

Step 2
: Once you do this, start by measuring the area that will cut the bottle.
We will measure both its height and circumference.

Step 3
: Once we have the measures we cutting guide, which consists of the following:
We transport these measures on adhesive plastic sheet, drawing a square or rectangle, depending on the measures we have.
Before drawing the lines, we have to divide the length of the circumference, which in this case is 28 cm between the number of strips that want out.
The narrower, the higher the number of strips.
Cuadrarlas owe you try to go all the same size.
I will bring them 5mm, so I'll have to cut 56 strips.

Once we have this clear, measure and draw all lines on the plastic. And cut it for its 4 edges.

Step 4
: As the adhesive having this plastic is very strong, bottle cover first all around with masking tape, which has a much softer adhesive.

Furthermore, as the latter is light in color, will facilitate us to see the lines where we will cut.
Once this is done, it is then stick the adhesive plastic.
We do it carefully and placing it completely right. To do this, we will draw a completely vertical line that will serve as a reference for placement.

Step 5
: Now you pour the water, before continuing, let's make two very small taladritos ass in the center of the bottle. I will use a drill for metal 2mm in diameter.

Step 6: Now is when we started cutting.

The first cut we will do completely with the cutter. The rest are going to start all cuts with the cutter, approximately 4 to 5 cm and from here, continue and finish with scissors.
We'll have to do it slowly and carefully.
This process takes time. Do not run and be patient.
A cutter blade, as you get cut, it will go adhering glue plastic part. So, when you take some cuts made, notice that does not cut well. Occasionally clean the blade with a little solvent or alcohol. But be very careful. Keep in mind that a short cutter as a razor.
The last cut is the most difficult to start, because the plastic is completely inert.
It is very possible that you may have to improvise. Be imaginativ @ !!

Step 7: Once you have made ​​all the cuts, remove carefully the plastic and masking tape.
We review all beginnings and endings of each cut to match them and leave them at the same level.
We also reviewed with scissors every little defect that we can find.

Step 8: Now we need ingenuity to introduce the nylon through the two holes in the ass, tie a knot and hang yarn end into the bottle, taking it out of his mouth.

Step 9: Now we tighten the thread and knotted the end we have learned from the mouth of the bottle, any small object. Anyway, one you have on hand. This step is provisional.

Step 10: In the previous step, we have left the bottle with a somewhat rare form. So now we have to shape it and give it the desired shape.
At this rate we devote the time necessary.
Strips will double both its top and at the bottom, out to give shaped balloon. Doing it carefully.
After repair strips that may have leave.

Step 11: With the cutter, will in the neck of the bottle two small notches are facing. Here anchor hook will see in the next step, to flush.

Step 12
: With a piece of wire, we do a tiny hook to catch inside the neck of the bottle.
Therefore, we removed the temporary fastening thread, we tighten the line and once in the desired position, tied to the hook and situate it in the two notches in the previous step.

13th Step: In case that we have broken a strip, as is the case, we will use the glue gun to weld loose strips. Otherwise, we would jump this step.

As the adhesive thermo goes high temperature, while we apply a agotita, we have to go blowing, and pasting the end of the strip.
Continue blowing for several seconds.

If we did this way, the end of the plastic strip melts and would not stick.
Well, we have completed the tulip to our lamp globe.




let us look at the following picture

























Remember to save the cap, it will make us kick in the 2nd part of this tutorial.
