How to make a lamp?

If you have a desire to decorate your apartment in an unusual and original way, without using any store tools or decorative items, then you should think about homemade design. It turns out that not always for this purpose you need complex skills or knowledge of electronics. For example, in our example, you can find out how you can make a small wooden lamp with a thermo gun, a piece of LED tape and a set of clothes pegs.

How to make a lamp at home?

  1. We buy the most common wooden clothespins. Enough will be a small package of 20 pieces.
  2. We cut the cellophane and take the clothespins from the package one by one. You see that these are the most common products that do not differ in any special features in the design.
  3. We disassemble the clothespin, removing the spring we do not need, and fold the halves separately.
  4. Next, apply hot glue with a thermo-gun on the tips of the planks.
  5. We connect our blanks together.
  6. Then we glue together a couple of planks to get two triangles.
  7. In the end we form a flat wooden square from the workpieces.
  8. In a simple way we master 10 squares. You see that this method, how to make a beautiful lamp, is not particularly difficult.
  9. Next, we glue the squares in any original way, depending on the imagination. It is desirable that everything looks symmetrical.
  10. Create a column of squares.
  11. The first part of the task, how to make the lamp itself, is finished. As a result, we get a rather interesting light and durable lampshade that can surprise your friends.
  12. We pass to the electrical part. We use LED strip , which is very easy to use.
  13. The basis of the "lamp" will be a plastic tube. Previously, we drill small 4 holes, located at 90 °.
  14. Remove the sticky layer from the LED tape.
  15. We glue the tape on the tube.
  16. We wind the LED tape on the tube, cutting off the excess part at the end.
  17. We connect the lamp to the wire.
  18. We pass matches or thin sticks into the holes of the tube, and then glue the axis with the tape to the lampshade in the middle of the structure.
  19. Once again we examine our product. If you notice a fault or a departed part, apply an additional layer of glue in this place. You can test the work of our homemade device.
  20. A small and original night lamp works perfectly. Our little instruction on how to make a lamp is finished.
