8- Cardboard lamp
This is probably the easiest lamp ever and it can be done in just 5 minutes and it really looks cool in the bedroom.
Cardboard and glue and a bulb
Take a cardboard and measure 30*10 cm from it and draw small 1 cm line to make a loop to place another cardboard into it.
Repeat this process with at least 20-25 cardboard strips.
Now draw a circle and mark the loops of similar measurement, such that the cardboard strips will get attached in the circle.
Draw another similar circle, so that the strips can be attached properly at both the top and the bottom.
Start sticking the strips once they have been hooked in the circles, so they don’t fall out.
Make two small holes in one circle to pass the electric wire and attach the bulb in the centre.
The easy and cheap DIY lamp is ready. Hang it on the wall of your room.
So these were some really easy and amazing cardboard ideas that you can make in very little time and they turn out to add up to your home decor also. I hope you like them. Happy crafting.:)
