Papierschöpfen

For paper scooping, you will need 2 pulp sheets for a "teepee" lamp, a paper scooping frame, and soft couching felt.

For a "teepee" lamp you will need 2 sheets of cellulose. Tear them into small pieces, soak them in a tub of warm water, and blend everything into a pulpy mass. To create a unique look, add dried flowers. Go into the mixture with the entire paper scoop frame, swaying the frame back and forth slightly so that the frame surface is evenly filled with the paper mixture.

Now take out the paper scoop frame, remove the top frame and invert the wet piece of paper onto the couching felt. Cover the paper with a second couching cloth. Roll over with a rolling pin or bottle. This will smooth out the paper and at the same time push out the greatest amount of wetness. Let the wet paper dry for 2 - 3 days between the couching cloths. After that it is ready for further crafting.

Tipi bauen

The tepee consists of 3 triangles: Tie a triangle from 3 round sticks each.

Use a triangle as a template. Place it on the drawing transparent paper and cut out 3 triangles with its help. Glue them with craft glue on the bottom edge with the decorative self-made paper.

Each round bar triangle is now pasted with a paper triangle.

After drying, the triangles are tied together with raffia tape at the corners, creating the teepee shape: The teepee consists of three sides and is open at the bottom.

Insert a string of LED lights into the lantern and glue the battery compartment to the scooped paper from the inside. Your timelessly beautiful lamp is ready!
