This video shows you how to fold an origami lampshade the most easiest way. Using A4 papers which everyone should be able to get easily. Also this pattern is the most basic for the beginners. So enjoy folding!
Ideally heat resistant paper if there is as such. Recently I discovered material called tyvek and it might work good for lampshade, but I’m not 100% sure. Apologies that I’m no expert that area, I’m only good at folding so I would recommend you to chat with paper suppliers if possible. Thanks
It's really nice, the outcome is amazing. Thank you. But I found out that the 2 parts are exactly the same. The difference is that you need to rotate on of them 180 degrees to fit (I made 6 of the first type- for 3 lamps, and any 2 of them fit together perfectly when one is rotated).
Hope you solve the problem ok. As I explained around 12mins mark, 2 of the parts need to be alternate to assemble (eg: this order --> First pattern, second pattern, first pattern and second pattern)
Approx 20cm diameter and 15cm height. If you use A3 papers then can be bigger but I never made it. I just did a quick calculation and I am guessing it will be approx 28.3cm diameter and 21cm height. Hope I am not wrong.
I am using normal papers for this. However they are high quality papers of paper weight 120gsm, stronger paper than photocopier papers. Hope I answered your question. Thank you.
