Crafting a Woven Paper Lampshade
(Original Title: 紙織燈罩)
A beautifully woven paper lampshade can be crafted using only paper strips and creativity. By selecting two different colored paper strips, you can create your own design, weaving them into an intricate pattern as shown in the illustration. Using this method of vertical and horizontal interlacing, the ends of the paper strips are secured at the edges of a metal frame, forming a stylish and functional lampshade. The process is simple and easy to follow, making it an enjoyable craft for anyone.
