A new light on the room
Materials: IKEA Orgel Pendant Lamp Shade IKEA Hemma cord Set, IKEA Anno Inez Panel Curtain, glue gun, 3M wire control Hooks
, 3M command small Picture Hanging Strips
(velcro), 4 wooden wedges, scissors
description: My last trick in detail the construction of the loft bed frame. This hack adds lighting, and makes the room warm.Instructions:1. Assemble Orgel and Hemma light.2. Hang the light with metal hooks.3. Cut the Anno Inez panel in half.4. Hot glue two wood shims around the bottom of the panel (for weight, to hold the panel in place). Folding the fabric on the other side of the wedge, and the adhesive again.5. Fold the top of ½ inch panel, and hot glue in place (so as not to leave an edge of fraying exposed). Fold another ½ inch, and glue again.6. Attach Velcro strips on the top fold of the panel curtain, and on the ceiling, making sure to cover as much rope as possible.7. Attach Velcro to the fabric and the wall about 2 feet down the panel. Make sure the fabric hangs straight and hangs at an angle.8. Attach Velcro on the last corner of the dock covered with fabric, and secure to the wall, making sure the fabric hangs straight. (You can not put the Velcro strips on both sides, because the cord makes it impossible for the holds to throw flat against the wall.9. Since the Hemma Set cord does not have an on / off switch I plan on hanging lamps to the Clapper
, so I do not need to plug the cord into an outlet every time I want to put on.
