how to make a

Loomi Globe

These instructions will show you how to make the Loomi Globe. There are many other shapes, but this one is best for rst-timers to Loomi.

You will need: 1. Basic Loomi kit (33 pieces) 2. Light-xture-on-a-cord 3. Light bulb (CFL or LED is best) 4. Some creative stuff... we use paint in this tutorial but Loomi is all about exploration. Have fun! Check out loomilight.com for some inspiration if youre stumped.

Whether you decorate or not, make SURE that all the Loomi pieces are face up like this one.
Remember that the long arrow goes left when the piece is at like this

If you get confused later, check this rst...

Step 1

Loomi Globe takes 30 pieces. We painted 11 each with watercolor (just in case).

Some warpage wont hurt... but be sure the pieces are totally dry. The paper should feel springy when you bend it.

For the Globe, be sure all pieces are facing in the same direction (as shown).

Step 2

All Loomi Lights are made up of the same basic shape. Start the lamp with this:

Bend a piece gently, hotdog style...

And link up!

Step 3

Complete the rst rosette


We call this a rosette

Link each piece rst with the central rosette

This builds the rst row or the top of the globe

Step 4

Link up the second row

Starting with the number 1, link up these three corners

It should look like this

New rosettes look the same

It looks like this with two pieces

When you nish the row, you can check your work by turning the lamp over

Step 5

Link up the third row

Starting with the number 1, link up these two corners

It should look like this

New rosettes look the same

It looks like this with two pieces

Checking our work...

Link the central rosette

Number three And the last one

Now nish the third row by linking the corners

You will see ve rosettes that look like this when you complete the row

It will look like this when youre done with the third row

Step 6

The last row (and lighting it!)

Number three

Link the top when you repeat Create the last row or cap like this

When you get to the last piece, tuck the lamp inside before you link the top

It may take some nesse to get the cord into the center of the rosette...

But it will be worth it :)
