Hii everyone. This is my first ever instructable.
In this instructable, I am going to tell you how to make a lamp that radiates heat while you work under its light. It also looks like a decoration during daytime. It is also a reuse of papers. Seems interesting?? Let's get started.

Supplies
Some old papers.
Glue, scissors.
Colour. Choose a colour that generally allows light to pass through it.
A power source. I have used a mobile charger.
A tungsten bulb with some conducting wires. You can switch to LED's in case you don't need the heat.

3. Drawing...
Draw the pattern shown in the image all over the paper.
5. Connecting It Up...
Fix all the patterns into one another as shown in the image. Don't forget to hang the bulb or led inside the lamp.
1. Sticking the Papers...

Take a couple of papers and stick them back to back thoroughly using glue. You can use a stiff coloured paper and skip this step. Make sure you use the right amount of glue. So now you have a stiffer paper.
2. Colouring the Paper...

Take suitable colour and paint a side of the paper. I have added a bit of glue to the colour so that it sticks firmly and looks bold.
Leave it to dry.
Leave it to dry.
4. Cutting the Pattern...

Cut the pattern accordingly as the curves would remain outside adding to your decoration. Also make a cut in each of the petals as shown in the image.
6. Hooking It Up....

Hook up the wires to the power source.
