Lamp with your own hands

If you look around you can see many different objects, given by nature and created by man. A creative look at some of them will help to create with their own hands original hand-made articles that are suitable for use in everyday life, for example, lamps. The easiest way is to make a light fixture from disposable utensils. It will cost us inexpensively, but the lamp will turn out stylish and very beautiful. In addition, we will not throw it away, and thereby pollute the environment.

How to make a lamp yourself master class?

  1. We prepare materials for work. We are looking for a plastic bottle and buy disposable plastic spoons. The size of the dishes depends on the size of the chandelier we want to make. In our case, take a five-liter vessel. To make the work faster and bring pleasure, it is better to purchase an adhesive gun. We need scissors and batteries for the lamp.
  2. Cut the bottom of the plastic bottle with a knife or scissors. The eggplant can be left as large as the manufacturer made it or made shorter.
  3. Cut the stem of the plastic spoon. In our hands, only its foundation should remain. For a large chandelier, they need a lot. We work with scissors, knife or pliers. In order not to waste time during the creative process, it is better to prepare the blanks in advance.
  4. After circumcision of the eggplant, unevenness and inaccuracy remain, so they must be covered. Apply the glue on the bottom of the spoon and apply it to the bottom edge of the plastic bottle. Hold it with your hand until you feel that the glue is frozen and you can continue working. We begin to work from the bottom for the reason that each successive series closes the previous one and allows you to hide from the eyes all the negative aspects.
  5. We paste the spoons in a circle until we reach the neck of the eggplant. You can use ordinary spoons, transparent or multicolored. From the latter, the effect will be simply stunning. At the final stage of gluing in hands, we get an object in the form of a cone or scales.
  6. That the neck looked more aesthetically, we cover it with a decorative rim, We make it from spoons, which we cut a little more than the previous products.
  7. In the bottle cap, cut out the hole for the thread.
  8. We take the cartridge, disassemble it and screw it onto the lid. Then we collect it back. To make a chandelier, we use an exclusively energy-saving lamp, as we worked with plastic dishes, which during the heating gives off harmful to the body vapors. Energy saving lamps do not heat the material they are in contact with. If you buy a regular incandescent lamp, the luminaire, unstable to high temperatures, will begin to melt.
  9. We screw the lamp into the socket. We put it in a plastic bottle, pasted with spoons. Decorate the rim with a gun pasted to an almost finished lighting device.
  10. We attach the chandelier to the network and enjoy its glow.

The material for the lamp, which we made with our own hands, can be of different colors. But, unlike a transparent plastic bottle, blue, green and other colors glow very beautifully when the device is working. The chandelier can be suspended or placed on a flat surface, turning it into a table lamp . If you dream up, using the eggplant and spoons, you can come up with other options for a designer lamp. For example, when the base of the spoons does not overlap each other, a different type of lamp is obtained.
