Oriental hanging lamp made from acrylic shapes

This extraordinary lamp shines like a dream from 1001 nights. It consists of different Acrylic forms, glass effect gel and Leaf metal designed with glass effect.

Here's how it works

prepareAcrylic forms
Remove the suspension from the medallion with the side cutter. Melt a hole with the metal tip of the hot glue gun next to the suspension of the large ball, melt another hole in the middle of one half of the medallion.
Important: The holes must be large enough for the lights of the light chain.

Dab the two big hemispheres from the inside completely with glass-effect gel and let it dry well. Put the hemispheres together and place the ball on a cup. Stick the individual stencils all around and press them on well, dab on Gold leaf priming milk and let it dry for about 30 minutes. Clean the stencils immediately after use under running water

Paint both halves of the medallion and the two small hemispheres from the outside without hanging them up completely with Gold leaf priming milk and let them dry as well.

Then apply to all pre-treated surfaces Leaf metal and rub off excess material with a Bristle brushes until the stencilled patterns become visible or the loose material is removed. This can be re-applied without any visible transition. In this way almost the whole Leaf metal can be used.

Thread the light chain through the hole in the half medallion into the ball. Take the jewelry chain double, thread it through the medallion next to the cable and fix it by bending the links to the suspension eye of the ball.

Glue the medallion halves to the top and bottom of the ball. Add the two gold-plated hemispheres at the bottom.
Glue various gemstones with gemstone glue in the golden stencilled motifs and around the upper and lower edge of the large sphere.
