...I know, I know.... Adding "trial one" to the title doesn't feel encouraging, huh??
But, c'mon people, we are real people, and some things we just do them wrong!! That's why I even think that makes it even more interesting... hopefully it will be a mistake you will not make!!
So, here we go...
I stole this brilliant idea from the incredible Marha Stewart. But she probably never makes mistakes...
I thought it was a great idea because of its small cost (around 10 € = 13$) and because of the spectacular results obtained (that's in the case you do it properly, of course)
Stuff you'll need:
- A paper lamp (yes, one of those "demodé" paper lamps that every single one of us has had at some point of our lives)
- Double sided tape
- Scissors
- Tissue paper disks. (Here is where the problem starts... I happen to live VERY far from a staples store, or anything like it... and even though amazon.com has everything, it was far more expensive to have them sent to Barcelona, than the tissue disks itself!!. So, I used paper multilayer napkins, orange color)
- Needless to say that you will need a little patience in case you use paper napkings as I did.
It's just about sticking each paper disk in the proper location in order to make it look as fish scales. I recommend you to start from the bottom, it makes easier. Also, find a place where you can hang the lamp, so they don't get creased.
Unfortunately, I forgot a little detail... paper absorbs water, and so happens with ambient humidity, and so, disks started to fold!!
Don't worry, I think I know what to do in trial two!!
Stay tuned!!
