Step 4 in making Paper lamps
Step 4: Assemble your paper layers
Stack all of the paper layers. There are a few ways to go about connecting them and I encourage you to tell me if you come up with a better method here!
First, you can gently glue the paper on point where it will touch the layer above it. The paper is strong but light, so a little dab'll do ya ;-)

Alternatively, if you connect a few pieces of fishing line to the bottom layer near the center hole, you can connect up through the middle and let them just sit on top of one another.
I wanted to keep the lose, translucent laying of the paper as part of the finishing element for the center. For this part, I took a rectangle of paper, rolled it, and allowed it to expand to fit the center hole.
The lightbulb socket then sits in the center of your composition. You can use fishing wire or string to tie to the cord above the lightbult and connect it to the structure of the paper lamp. The paper tube should also cover this from being visible.
Make the lamp as long or as short as you'd like. How might it be different if part of all of the lightbulb was exposed?
