- DIY Lampshade Using a Ball. In this video I'll show you how you can easily make an awesome organic lampshade without using a 3d printer. This kind of lampshade is usually made with a 3d printer but I know there are a lot of people out there who, like me, would love this kind of design for their lights but don't own a 3d printer. This lampshade is easy and cheap to make. It only requires a rubber ball some paper clay and ... that's it. Enjoy!
First you need to draw the pattern. Practice on a piece of paper first. It's a combination of random shapes placed close to each other. Blacken the edges so you get a better picture of the future lamp. Don't make the edges too thin. They need to have at least 1 cm for a 30 cm ball. Start adding clay. I used DAS Modelling Material for this step. Make long stripes of clay and place them on the black edges. Wet your fingers when working with the clay. Make half of the ball, let it dry without rushing it (no hair dryer). When starting on the other half make sure you wet the dry clay so it will stick to the new clay. You can use water to make it smooth. When everything dries use a needle to make a small hole in the ball. Let the air escape and then shrink the ball until you can take it out. Sand the shape and add more clay if you feel it's necessary. Place the light inside. Only one tip - use led light because it won't get hot. That's it. I hope you liked my little project. See ya!

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What clay do you use?
I use a paper clay. I either buy it or make my own depending on what I want to create
2. What's the difference between the bought paper clay ( amzn.to/2r5FEHY )
and the homemade paper clay (A) th-cam.com/video/LkYGfBz_MTU/w-d-xo.html
(B) th-cam.com/video/_Ef-U6aZEoI/w-d-xo.html )?
The homemade one is not that soft and is only good for textured surfaces like stones and tree bark. It is very cheap to make so it might worth to sand it and work it a little more than buying a paper clay. However, you can't keep it more than 5 to 7 days in the fridge. It has the best consistency when you just made it and it's fresh, so I would recommend you use it in the same day or the next and don't make more than you need
3. Can I use air dry clay? What's the difference between air dry clay and paper clay?
Often times shops will sell both paper clay and ceramic clay with the same label "air dry clay". It's true, both are air hardening but there are quite a few differences: air dry clay(ceramic clay) is actually mud, natural clay, while paper clay is made with cellulose and other ingredients. Paper clay is stronger than air dry clay(ceramic clay). Air dry clay (ceramic clay) shrinks and the paper clay does not shrink. This is why paper clay is the better choice for my kind of projects. My projects usually require you to cover a jar or a plastic bottle. If the air dry clay shrinks and the bottle or jar remain the same size... you guessed it... your air dry clay will crack all around. It might be a lot cheaper but it's not what you need for these projects.
4. My clay cracks, how do you cover the cracks?
You don't, you change your air dry clay to a paper clay! See why at the previous question
5. How to waterproof my paper clay creations?
I recommend using a yacht varnish. Apply a few coats and make sure you cover it all around so no water touches your clay
6. What brand of paper clay do you use?
I use "Das modelling material" - amzn.to/2r5FEHY
7. Where can I see the list of materials?
As a general rule of my channel... READ MY VIDEO DESCRIPTIONS! I write it for you guys, is no secret what I use. For every video I write a description of what I do and what I use.
8. Do you sell your creations?
No, not yet, my daughter loves them too much.
9. What colors do you use?
I mostly use watercolors and acrylic paint.
Looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie. Love it! ^^
+gyashaa Thanks, I'm a big fan of his movies :)
Hello,
I wrote about the PROCESS and the MATERIALS in the VIDEO DESCRIPTION. Check it out!
I might not be able to answer all your questions so before asking me something in the comments section make sure I didn't already answered that question.
Thank you!
Creative Mom formidable , felicidades
Creative Mom prevod
Creative Mom can I use home made air dry cold porcelain clay instead of paper clay?
I love it - made this look real easy and I like the ball - just in case you don't like the design you can start over... Hope to see more from you and your channel...
+Valyn Tropia Thank you! I have new videos coming up soon!
I can’t wait to make one of these! I absolutely LOVE watching your videos. I’m going to make a fairy lamp for my niece for her 4th birthday next month. Thanks to your tutorials, I’m confident that I can do it. Thanks so much for sharing your art, it really means a lot.

+susanne bick 😁
So gorgeous and a great idea
great idea, thanks for sharing!
Thanks
Nice one ....So Beautiful... Fantastic lantern design
This is great Creative Mom. I was wondering how strong? Or fragile this is. I've been making paperclay from egg cartons and glue and was considering trying with it, thinking the fiber may be stronger. Cool design!
FANTASTIC AND BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!
great idea i'll have to try that...is there a bulb size limit??
+kathleen strode Thanks! You set the limit when choosing the ball size and make the holes(make sure you have one big enough for your light bulb
That great job
Thank you!
I like it
+Suleyman Dogus Thank you!
What a cool idea!
wow amazing
With a green light, wow ;-)

+mutaz abo assi I don't think you can...
Excellent!!
beautiful
+Larissa Caldas Thank you!
❤❤❤
Great job!
You are amazing and your videos are hypnotic :D
Would you be able to put a tea light in there instead?
+Blurryface_ Trencher Maybe an electric one. Otherwise is just dangerous.
+Creative Mom Yeah thats what I was thinking. Thanks
Que material es? Muchas gracias
cool.
Thanks
Is the paper clay hard enough to make even thinner lines?
+Hollow Sphere I wouldn't go thinner then 1 cm. :)
That is awesome
es muy lindo lo que haces pero que masa utilizas
+Alandavid Dcastroescobar Gracias. Google "das modelling material"
Solía 1 kg
That is cool---looks almost like bone. Could you cover the whole thing with the clay and then cut out the shapes?
+madge Thanks. I guess you could do that but you would need a lot of clay considering the thickness. I don't think it would have the same strength because you would only press the clay perpendicular to the ball. I don't know :) Try and let me know :))
Thanks for the reply! I'll try it on a small ball if I can find one.
madge n

You forgot to say what electric component/light fixture you used and where you purchased it.
What is DAS clay???
Not sure if it has been said in the other comments but you could do this on those boring globe shades you can often find at the Restore or re purposing stores.
Is it cyramic powder
Same question ?
que paste es y Dios te bendiga
"Das pasta para modelar"

CHAOOOOO
can i use balloon instead of a rubber ball?
I don't think so, because the balloon will explode when sticking a needle in it, probably chattering the clay, a ball loses air gradually.
super!
супер !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Все круто но только мячик жалко Магли бы аккуратно спустить иглой и обратно накачать и одать детям, и они бы тоже обрадовались бы!
Merhaba, kullandığınız malzemeleri yazar mısınız?
Teşekkür ederim.
Hi I have a question why after dry mud breaks up and thanks for the help in advance
In most of my videos I used a paper clay called Das. It doesn't shrink so it doesn't crack if you cover something with it (regular air dry clay shrinks and cracks). You can find Das here amzn.to/2r5FEHY. To find out more information about each video, please check out the description. Have fun!

ممكن اعرف مكونات المعجون
Круто че а что это за пластелин который твердеет?
По ходу глина для лепки
que massa é essa usada?
طين الورق هو نفسه عجينة الورق ؟؟؟ ارجو الرد
نعم
بلظبط
مينضبط معي ممكن الطريقه بالتفصيل كي يصبح عندي مثل الفيديو الظاهر
وهل يمكن استخدام عجينة الشبابيك والجام في مثل هذه الاعمال ؟؟؟ ارجو الرد
Que massa você usa ?
Acho que e Durepox
@@ClaudiosocorroUmberto Ta muito maleável pra ser durepox, alem do que custaria uma fortuna kkkkk, creio que porcelana fria seja mais viável, um kg da pra umas duas eu acho, um custo de 5 reais por luminária, muito melhor. ✌🏻
E verdade... tem no TH-cam a receita de porcelana caseira
@@ClaudiosocorroUmberto Sim, mas é fácil errar o ponto e perder a massa, pra quem não tem experiência é mais lucro pegar pronto, custa 10 reais e tem de tudo que é cor, ai da pra fazer umas mais bonitas sem ter que pinta.
como se llama esa masa?

Why would you waste time and a sharpie coloring a surface you then cover with clay?
+Rich Aired Thanks for your question. I think you somehow need to see if you really like the pattern you just made and you don't get distracted by the ball's pattern and colors.
+Creative Mom You don't need that if you have a plane color ball
Не.тне интересно. А чего не показала, как покупала шарик, фломастер. Как надувала.
What kind of putty do you use?
