LUMI LAMPSHADE

We've been pretty psyched over LUMI Inkodye. This printing process is just so easy and so fast. Plus with the sunny weather in Malaysia, everyday can be a LUMI-making day. 

There are plenty of projects you can find online. Here's one on making your own lampshades.

Here's what you need. You need the Inkodye. Craftiviti carries Red, Blue, Plum and Sepia. You'll need a foam brush, some pretty lace patterns, a lampshade and some push pins. 

Pour Inkodye into a clean glass jar. You can add water to dilute the dye for a lighter effect. This also helps you save on the Inkodye so you can do more stuff with it. The Inkodyes can be mixed to create different colours!

Coat the lampshade with the Inkodye. Here they used an orange dye. There is no need to completely soak the lampshade with dye till it is dripping wet. With Inkodye you'll notice a little goes a long way. 

Next, pin on the lace. Work on this in a shaded cool area until you get it in the right position. Remember, Inkodye starts to show when it is exposed to light. So work as quickly as you can. 

Place the lampshade in direct sunlight for 10 minutes. Yup 10 minutes is all you need. 

 

Bring the lampshade back into the shade and remove the lace. Here you'll see places that are not covered will have changed its colour thanks to the dye. 

 Mix some Inkowash with hot water and wipe away. Don't be afraid to scrub at it hard to remove all access Inkodye. This step ensures the dye no longer reacts to the sunlight and continue to change colour.

From a simple inexpensive lampshade, now you have a customised design.

For variations, you can also use photo prints. Check out Lumi.co for more project ideas.

HOW TO ETCH ON GLASS

Glass etching is so easy it's a wonder why we don't do it more often.


To find out how to do this step by step, we found a site that does a pretty good explanation. Click here

 Etching cream slathered on the glass. All you need is 15 minutes for it to work it's magic.

At Craftiviti, we have the Etchall etching cream from USA but any other etching cream will do fine.

Etchall permanently etches glass, mirrors, ceramic glazes, tiles and more. 

We like Etchall because it is a reusable cream. This means that instead of whipping or washing the cream away after the process, you can return the cream back to the bottle and keep it for another project.
