Step 8Make the lampshade holder
Unbend a medium sized paper clip and then bend up into a hexagonal shape with a thin prong at one corner and the two tails at the opposite corner. Follow the dimensions in the drawing (only use them as a guide) or download the bending template in the dadcando Tiffany Lamp project.
use small pliers if you have them and hold the paper clip firmly just in front of where you want to bend and then slowly bend the clip into to shape. It really helps if you mark out the bends before you start. bending a paper clip too much will fatigue the metal and it will snap. Fortunately this step is quick and paper clips are cheap so if it breaks learn from that and start over.
