Amazing works! I love them. But some of the lamp are made of paper and plastic. The heat of the bulb may cause fire.Be cautious!
Hi,
Thanks for your comment, but there really isn’t any danger of fire. All of the lights made out of paper are constructed using commercially sold paper lanterns, and all of the paper that I have added is on the exterior of the lantern, so there is nothing closer to the bulb than the original lantern. As long as you follow the maxiumum bulb wattage recommended there should be no risk of fire.
The lights made with plastic are all formed around a metal formwork, that keeps the plastic away from the bulb. I have had my plastic bag light lit for many hours and there wasn’t even the smallest bit of melting.
On top of this, I always recommend using CFL bulbs because not only are they better for the environment, but they are cooler too.
But of course, fire safety is serious and you should only ever hang a light in your home that you are 100% comfortable with, but I wouldn’t ever suggest making something that I thought could be dangerous.
Thanks, Allison
