DIY Lamp - Eternal Flame

The lampshade takes a rather unique oblong shape which is suitable for decoration in any living space.

This lamp is the modification of my previous 'cathedral light' -

Buenas tardes, soy de Argentina, me gustaría saber que tipo de papel sería el adecuado para realizar las lámparas. Eh estado usando cartulinas. Pero no sé si serán resistentes..

I have had an incredibly ugly hanging light fixture over the table in the dining room for years--mostly because I could not find a replacement that I liked enough to bother with changing it. Now it is going to change--or maybe in a week or two when things slow down and I can get my son to help me. Thanks.

It is great to know that this video can be of help to you. Good luck with reinstalling your lampshade. This lampshade is reasonably easy to make and the result is terrific.

I have even picked out the paper I plan to use--it is moderately sturdy (durability) but not too terribly thick (glow-ability)
