Make a Lamp With a Crochet Tulip Tutorial
Introduction and Materials
- The video tutorial demonstrates how to crochet a flower lamp encased in a bell jar.
- Required materials include:
- Hot glue gun
- Wire
- Green and white yarn
- 4 mm crochet hook
- Bell jar
- Bottle-shaped fairy light with a compact on/off switch.
- Wadding for filling the base of the lamp.
Making the Leaves
- The tutorial starts with crocheting the leaves.
- Steps to create the leaves:
- Begin with a slip knot and create a sequence of chains.
- Use single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and a combination of stitches to form the desired leaf shape.
- Once one side of the leaf is completed, the process continues on the other side using mirrored stitching techniques.
- After finishing both sides of the leaf, the yarn is cut, leaving a small length for later assembly.
Making the Flower
- The next step is creating the floral component.
- Steps to crochet the flower:
- Begin with a magic ring.
- Crochet rows consisting of single crochets, increases, and decreases to shape the flower base.
- Several petals are formed in the last row using single crochets, half double crochets, and slip stitches.
- Once all petals are finished, the yarn ends are woven in, completing the flower.
Attaching Fairy Lights to Flowers
- The tutorial demonstrates how to combine flowers with fairy lights:
- Fold the fairy light wires to pair up the bulbs in groups of two.
- Carefully insert each pair of bulbs into the center of the flower’s magic ring.
- Secure the lights inside each flower by twisting the wires together.
- This step repeats for all flowers to ensure even distribution of lights.
Wrapping the Wire with Green Yarn
- The wire is prepared as the floral “stem” and intertwined with the fairy lights.
- Steps to wrap the wire:
- Place the fairy light and wire together, holding them securely.
- Wrap green yarn tightly around the combined wire and fairy lights to mimic the look of a stem.
- Periodically check the placement of flowers in the bell jar to ensure optimal spacing.
Attaching Leaves
- Leaves are attached to the wire:
- Position the crocheted leaves along the wrapped wire.
- Use the leftover yarn from each leaf to secure and tie it to the wire.
- After attaching all leaves, tie additional knots to secure everything.
Shaping and Assembling
- The wire “stem” is bent into a spiral shape to fit inside the bell jar.
- The spiral is glued to the bottom of the bell jar to secure the structure.
- While the glue dries, ensure all elements are properly aligned and stable.
Final Touches
- All components of the fairy light, including the compact on/off switch, are placed inside the bell jar.
- Fill the base of the bell jar with wadding to create a finished look.
- Once the light is switched on, the project is complete, revealing the glowing flower lamp.
