These lamps look magical and are very easy to make. The highlight and eye-catcher of this lamp are the butterflies, which look like flying butterflies thanks to the 3D effect. The lamp would certainly be a highlight in your home.

This is how you design the beautiful lamp:
Cut the transparent paper and the lamp foil to the same size for each lamp. Here you can freely choose which size your lamp should have later. In our example, the lamp cuttings have the following dimensions:

For the large one: Height 22cm and width 31cm

For the small one: Height 12cm and width 23cm



Punch 3 holes on each of the short sides of the lamp foil and use the connecting plugs to join the lamp foil together to form a cylinder.

Now cut out the butterflies you want and glue only the body onto the tracing paper blank. It is important that you do not glue the wings to get the 3D effect later.

Cut around the wings of the transparent paper with the scalpel.
Now bend the glossy picture wings and the tracing paper wings underneath slightly to create the 3D effect.

Now also close the tracing paper blank on the short side to form a cylinder (with craft glue). Make sure that the cylinder has a slightly larger diameter than the one made of lamp foil.

Insert the lamp foil cylinder into the transparent paper cylinder and finally place LED tea lights in it or place a light chain in your lamp.
