How to make a “Flower” floor lamp from isolon

It is enough to see a full-sized flower-floor lamp glowing in the semi-darkness once to lose peace of mind from the desire to see this beauty at home. Those who have experience in making decorative flowers of regular size will especially enjoy this work.

Preparation of materials and tools for creating the “Flower” floor lamp from isolon

How to make a floor lamp from isolon with your own hands? Isolon is a very interesting material for flower makers. It is sold in different thicknesses from 0.2 cm to 1 cm. For life-size products, a thickness of 2 mm is good.

The second important property is the colors of the material being sold. The fact is that isolon cannot be painted with ordinary fabric paints, only with rubber or acrylic paint. If you are lucky, you can find a rich palette of shades of this material in the store.

Izolon does not burn, it only melts, including from hot air. You can create beautiful curves of the petals using a regular hairdryer. It is only important that it has at least two modes - cold and hot air.

You can also form petals over an electric stove. Hot air rising upward is even easier to control, especially on smaller diameter petals. So, for work we will need:

• Izolon white or colored, 2 mm thick;
• Hairdryer or small tabletop electric stove;
• Acrylic or rubber paint, if desired, you can do without it;
• The metal-plastic pipe is the future stem of the flower;
• Socket, wire, plug and light bulb;
• You can make a heavy flowerpot base for a flower yourself by pouring concrete into a pipe of a larger diameter than the prepared metal-plastic pipe-stem;
• Glue gun and silicone sticks;
• Scissors, knife, screwdriver.

Important! The larger the flower, the more stable the base should be.

And the main thing is to prepare a free corner in the room, which will be successfully decorated by a tall handsome man. The floor lamp will look very beautiful against the background of a curtained curtain.

Drawing up a pattern of petals, stems and leaves

How to make a flower floor lamp from isolon? You can get an idea on the Internet or from nature. Experienced flower growers, in order to master a new type of flower, disassemble a living specimen. Nature is the best role model.

For a rose, for example, you need to prepare petals of different sizes. The largest ones for a floor lamp can be 45x45 cm, 30x30 cm or 12x12 cm. The petals located inside the flower will be smaller than the outer large ones. There can be 2–5 sizes in total, depending on the size and desired look.

Reference! The most successful isolon for a beginning flower grower: 2 mm thick. Such a petal will not melt from hot air and will keep its shape well in a large flower.

The prepared stem leaves should be the same size as one of the inner petals.

Assembling the product and connecting the wire with plug and cartridge

Petals need to be formed from the smallest ones. Holding it over a hot stove, we get a shape similar to natural. The cartridge connected to the wire is placed inside a plastic box.

Such a base with a box will add volume to the structure without unnecessary weight. We glue the petals on top of the workpiece with heated silicone: at first they will be smaller, then larger and at the end the largest. Leaves for the stem will add naturalness.

Their formation is similar to the petals of a flower. The stem made of a metal-plastic pipe can be slightly bent to give it a natural look. All connections are glued using silicone glue. The flower is connected to the stem, into which an electrical wire is passed. It is better to take an economical light bulb, which heats up less during operation.

The light from such a floor lamp is soft, diffused. It will become your favorite night light. Its muted light highlights the beauty of the flower. A full-length flower-floor lamp is very beautiful even without coloring the petals.
