DIY: yarn covered cord

Afbeelding
I crochet around the electrical cords of my lamps, but there are lots of lamps which still have ugly cords. You could replace them with fabric coated cord in all colours of the rainbow. A much more fun way of sprucing them up is by covering them with thread yourself. You will get the best results when you use thin cotton yarn. This DIY is very simple, even your kids can do it. Step 1: 'ugly' cord and cotton yarn Step 2: tie the yarn to the cord with a small knot Step 3: hold the end of the yarn down and wrap over the knot and the end bit Step 4: keep wrapping the cord until the end Step 5: work the end of the yarn into the wrapping with a needle Step 6: cut the excess of and you're done If your very patient you could even use sewing thread or embroidery thread. Good luck !!

knotted pendant lamps by Kwangho Lee

A while ago I came across this picture on, of course, Pinterest and I was in love. At the time I couldn't get to the source of the picture. In my research for another post recently I came across it again and this time I found the designer: Kwangho Lee. He is a designer from Seoul, Korea. His basic design principle is giving new meaning and function to everyday objects and materials. The inspiration came from his grandmother knitting when he was young and from his grandfather who recycled everything he found. The lamp that first caught my eye is entirely made from thick electrical wire. For this restaurant he made them from rope. pendant lamps in The Atlantic Restaurant  The technique he uses is a sort of self-invented finger knitting. Every piece is entirely handmade. The material is so tough that he often worked until his hands bled. blue pendant lamps brown pendant lamp brown pendant lamp detail black pendant lamp black pendant lamp chandel...
