Plastic Bag Lamp by lindarose92

塑料袋灯

Some of you may remember the plastic bag lampshade I made last year.
This new lamp is very similar to that lampshade, and it's mostly an experiment I did to try a different structure that came up to my mind. I didn't like the paper mache structure I made for the previous one and I believe that this new version is actually better and faster to make.
这个灯罩很像我之前做的那个（http://www.instructables.com/id/Tutu-Lamp/）,基本上就是我尝试脑海中出现的一个不同结构设计的过程。我不太喜欢上一个那种纸浆糊形态，而这次这个新的，我觉得能好过上次的，做起来也比上次的快。

I would love to see a taller version of this lamp, I think the effect would be amazing. I can't do it at the moment, but if you do, please share a photo, I would love to see it! :)
如果有这盏灯比较高大的版本，我很乐意去见见，因为这效果会很棒。现在我做不到那种，但如果你做到了，就分享图片出来吧！

I always looked at this lamp as an experiment so I didn't expect much from it, but I really hope that some of you can find it useful and it inspires you to create your own upcycled lamp :)
我将这盏灯视为实验性创作，也并不期待太多了，但我希望你们当中某些人能找到它的有用之处，并启发你做出自己的新材料灯具。

Materials & Tools:
*材料和工具：

Cardboard
plastic bags - I'd say at least 3 or 4 big ones
12 wooden skewers
white glue
bulb holder and LED light bulb*
cutter
compass
long needle
ruler and pencil
*the LED light bulb is very important because it won't burn the cardboard.
- 卡纸板
- 塑料袋——我会要最少3到4个大型的
- 12根木签
- 白胶浆
- 灯泡座和LED灯泡
- 裁纸刀
- 圆规
- 长缝衣针
- 尺子和铅笔
*LED灯泡很重要，因为它烧不着卡纸板。

Step 1: Make the base

一、建立底座

Draw a disc on a piece of cardboard with a diameter of about 18cm (7 inches).
在一块卡纸板上，画上直径约18厘米（7英寸）的圆盘。

Cut the disc (I did it by hand using a cutter) and divide it in 12 equal sections drawing lines with a pencil.
裁出圆盘（我用裁纸刀手工完成），将其等分12份，用铅笔画出界线。

Measure 5mm (0.19 inches) from the border of the disc and make a sign on each line.
Make a hole where the signs are, using a long needle.
从圆盘边缘量出5毫米（0.19英寸）长度，在每条线上做个记号。
用长缝衣针在记号上捅个洞。

Draw the outline of your bulb holder in the middle of the disc and cut it out to obtain a hole.
You'll insert the bulb holder through that hole when the lamp will be done.
在圆盘中央画出灯泡座的轮廓，剪开它，得到一个洞。在完成制作灯的时候，通过这个洞，插入灯泡座。

The base is done!
底座完成！

Step 2: Form the structure

二、生成结构

To make the structure you need 12 wooden skewers.
你需要12根木签来做结构。

Measure 3cm (0.11 inches) from the flat side of a skewer and make a sign on it.
This will be the distance from the base to the table, as if they were feet. This distance is very important because it will contain the base of your bulb holder. For this reason, I recommend you to measure your bulb holder's base to make sure that 3cm are enough.
从木签的平头处量3厘米（0.11英寸），做个记号。
这就是底座到桌面的距离，作为灯脚使用。这个距离很重要，它包括了灯泡座底座在内。因此，我建议你量一下灯座底部，确认一下3厘米是否足够。

Do the same on all of your 12 skewers. Try to be very accurate when you measure this distance so that the lamp won't move because of different feet.
重复在12根木签上操作。在量距离时尽量准确，这样这盏灯就不会有高低不一的灯脚了。

Apply some glue on that part of the skewers and insert them in the holes you made in the cardboard base.
As you insert them, look at the other side of the base (where the skewers come out from): stop passing them through it as soon as you see the signs you made coming out from the cardboard.
This way you'll have the 3cm feet coming out from the bottom, and the rest of the skewers will be used as structure.
在木签的那个部位上胶水，插在卡纸板底座做好的洞里。
当你插入它们时，查看一下底座的另一边（就是木签伸出来的地方）：当你看到你做的记号从卡纸板表面突起时，停止穿刺。
这样的话，你就得到了从底部伸出3厘米长的灯脚，木签的其余部分用作结构。

Step 3: Prepare the plastic pieces

三、准备塑料条

Cut many strips out of your plastic bags.
Their size is not really important, but make sure that all of them have the shortest side of the same size. I made it about 5cm long (1.96 inches).
从塑料袋上剪下许多条条。
尺寸不是很重要，但所有短边长度都要一样。我做的大概5厘米长（1.96英寸）。

Take one of the strips and fold it as if you were making a fan.
To do this you need to fold it up a little bit starting from of the short sides, then turn it and fold it again at the same distance. Turn it again and repeat until you reach the other end.
拿出其中一条，将它折起来，就像做扇子那样。
你需要从短边折起一点点，然后翻过来，在相同距离再折一次。不断翻转，直到折到另一头。

Open it up again and gently fold it about 4 or 5 times to obtain a shorter layered piece of plastic.
打开它，轻轻折起约4到5次，就得到了一条短的、层叠的塑料条。

Do this with all of your strips.
在所有条条上做一遍。

Hint: I didn't know how many strips I needed when I started making them, so I simply made more as I put them on the structure.
提示：当我开始制作时，我不知道到底需要多少条条。于是我就做多了一点，然后可以放在结构件上。

Step 4: Compose the lamp

四、组建灯具

Insert one of the longest sides of your first plastic piece in two skewers.
Insert the others this way all around the base.
在两根木签上插入第一条塑料，沿着长边插。
围绕着底座插满其他地方。

After the first round, insert a plastic piece in other two skewers, right where the free spots of the previous round are.
在第一轮之后，在另外两根木签上面插塑料条，正跨越之前那轮的空隙。

When the second round is complete too, make another just like the first one.
Proceed this way until your reach the top of the skewers and your whole structure is full of plastic pieces.
当第二轮也完成后，重复第一轮操作。
一直这么操作，直到到了木签顶部，而整个结构也布满了塑料条为止。

Step 5: Make the top of the lamp

五、灯具顶部

Cut a cardboard disc as big as the first one you made.
Divide it in 12 sections as well and make holes, just like what you did on the other disc.
裁剪一个卡纸盘，和第一个一样大。
和之前那样，将其等分12份，打洞。

Trace a smaller circle in it at about 2cm (0.78 inches) from the border of the disc, and cut it out.
划出一个小一些的圆环，离边界约2厘米（0.78英寸），剪出来。

What you have now is a cardboard ring.
现在手上的就是个卡纸环。

Step 6: Cover the ring

六、盖环

Cut more plastic strips. Their size is not important at all this time, you can even use scraps, like I did.
剪多一些塑料条，这次它们的尺寸不重要了，甚至使用边角料也无妨，我也是如此。

Spread some white glue on the cardboard ring and lay your plastic strip on it.
Wrap it around the ring and apply some more glue at the end when your strip has finished.
Keep doing this with other strips until you cover the whole ring.
在卡纸环上面洒一些白胶浆，将塑料条放上去。
围着环铺上去，在末端加多点胶水。
重复操作，直到盖满整个环为止。

Prick the plastic where the holes are with a needle, making sure NOT to pass through the other side of the ring. This way the holes will be on one side only.
用针在洞眼所在为止戳塑料条，不要扎穿环形的另一边。这样的话，洞眼只在其中一边。

Step 7: Add the top

七、加上顶部

Put glue on the skewers' tips and insert them into the holes of the ring.
在木签尖部上胶，然后插到环形的洞洞里。

Press the ring down a little, but be careful not to make the skewers pass through the top. They must stay inside of the cardboard.
将环形稍微按下一点，但小心不要让木签穿过顶部。它们要留在卡纸板内部。

Let it dry completely and adjust the plastic pieces. You can even trim some if they don't look good.
完全干燥，修整塑料条：不好看的可以剪掉一些。

Step 8: Done!

八、完成!

The lamp is done!
噔噔噔灯！

Insert the bulb holder from the bottom, right through the hole you made in the base.
Add the LED light bulb and turn it on! :)
从底部插入灯泡座，就是从底部洞洞直穿。按上LED灯泡，然后打开它吧！
