First, let me say this:

OWWWWWWW


Okay.

A mood lamp made out of polypropylene (a spiffy type of plastic), held together with eyelets (eyelets + polypropylene = X_X), made for my Product Research class. Being a mood lamp (not meant to be a work light), and the polypropylene being rather close-ish to the lightbulb, we used a 40-or-less watt lightbulb (I used a 40 watt. Any higher than that and the plastic would melt/catch on fire. THEN you can use it as a work light 8D).

Polypropylene used: large fan is white; smaller fan is translucent; two cylinders between the fans are also translucent. *nods*
(Maybe I should've taken photos of the light OFF, so you can actually SEE the white... D: *fails* XD;;; Sorry...!)

The eyelets were a pain, but they were the only option I really had without it looking really messy. Of the eyelet pack that I bought, they had 36 eyelet pieces... now, only 2 remain. Mainly because I screwed up a lot of them and bent them out of shape and rendered them unusable. 8DDD Heyyy I managed to get the hang of eyelets towards the end...! LALALA~~~ (>^O^)>~

The light kit/lightbulb/cord/switch was taken from another lamp (lampshade removed) and used here.
Approx. height of lamp: 400mm
Approx width: 250-300mm


I'm not entirely sure why I chose a fan-shape for my lamp, by the way. XD
It was rather painful making this. D: But... it was pretty fun. :D I like how it turned out in the end. ^^; Ahaha...

Hope you like! :heart:

Ooo... pretty :D

I made a lamp once... it was a failure T_T it couldn't stand and I can't fit a bulb in it... even so I carved a phoenix out of it and at least that looked cool :D
