What could be more beautiful than the satisfaction of a self-created original crafts, which will become a bright accent in the gray everyday life? We offer several simple models, the manufacture of which does not require professional skills and financial costs. Go ahead, get to work!
Every day we have to throw away empty tetra packs, but meanwhile this is an excellent basis for an openwork chandelier. We cut strips 5 cm wide, fold them into the desired shape and begin to carefully glue. So that the structure does not fall apart prematurely, it is possible to assemble it on a round piece of suitable sizes.
From disposable spoons it turns out quite a decent lampshade. We take a 5-liter plastic container and cut off the bottom. We break off the cuttings and mount the remaining parts with a glue gun on the base, imitating a pineapple peel. It is better to use a low-temperature light bulb for safety reasons.
Ordinary wooden hangers are transformed with a creative approach. By simply cutting them in half and placing them in a circle, we get a modernist chic lamp from the 30s era. A completely surreal option is also possible - pass a strong thread through the attachment point of the suspension and simply string the shoulders, unfolding a little.
Funny Gummi Bears - perfect solution for children. The difficulty lies in the accuracy of placing individual figures, so we recommend making a template with radial holes through which we lower the white threads. Do not try to use lollipops - these are acrylic figures!
The effect of a dense forest in the bedroom is achieved by bizarre chiaroscuro. A few stylistic roots, wire, skillful hands - and the original ball under the ceiling will plunge the room into the world of the unknown. Or gather the rhizomes, peel, dry and weave as you like. The finished product is better to varnish.
Has the drum set lost its former attractiveness and is gathering dust in the garage? From a boring musical instrument, an extravagant chandelier is mounted without any problems - fortunately, all fasteners are initially included in the kit. Original and beautiful, and most importantly - quiet!
If you are the owner of a bicycle workshop, then you probably have a container with unusable spare parts in the corner. A little creativity and a welding machine - you get a unique product, similar to the ancient inventions of the crazy Mechanicus. Of course, you can’t hang it in the living room, but just right for a nightclub.
Leaky galabash (a bottle of African gourd) lends itself well to engraving. Intricate patterns, contrasting transitions of textures from shiny to matte, elegant perforations scatter ethnic ornaments of the Black Continent on the walls.
It's in the hat - a funny tandem of top hat and bowler hat creates a solid entourage of a cigar club for gentlemen. If you are not an English dandy, do not despair - an old Stetson, a bright sombrero or a straw bryl will also work. It is important not to be a hostage to sanctimonious dogmas.
Paper cups for cakes will become an elegant accent of your interior. It’s not difficult at all - we glue them two by two, straightening the bottom one, and we connect the resulting “flowers” with a thread in a spiral. We cover the original night light with glue or varnish for strength.
Banal iron graters look very original above the bar counter. You need 4 tubes with electric cartridges and a meter length of 2-core wire. Do not forget about fire safety - metal shades are seriously heated.
Have your lace doilies done their job? Do not rush to part with them! We inflate balloon white color, we find a brush and PVA, we straighten the matter on the surface and coat it abundantly. An hour later, the elegant lampshade is ready for use.
Cutlery can decorate a meal not only with serving. The spoons collected in a bundle resemble a silver tulip. And connoisseurs of Kandinsky or Dali will appreciate the avant-garde cube, constructed from knives and forks. Bon appetit!
An interesting effect in the children's room is created by small light screens in the form of a cartoon cloud. A light bulb located behind it dimly illuminates the walls without blinding the eyes. Adding some more funny clouds, we get a romantic sunset.
Several brightly glowing globes will dynamically enliven the space above the stairs. Oceans and continents will light your way - an original and charismatic solution with deep connotations. Correctly select the proportions of the unique installation and charge yourself with positive.
Don't know where to put the miscellaneous remnants of services? Drill holes in the cup and saucer, place the cartridge in the middle and connect with a hollow tie - as in a conventional lamp. White porcelain scatters light wonderfully - hang the composition over a coffee table and enjoy a fragrant drink.
A ball of yarn can be successfully used as a chandelier. Several skeins of thread, white balloon, electrical fittings and glue - we randomly wrap the base and generously spread it with a binder. Wait until it dries completely - and a unique masterpiece is ready. They cannot play football, but the product is quite reliable.
Is it possible to do table lamp from beer cans? It turns out yes! Only a lot of them will be needed - after all, we use only valves for opening. We connect the frame of the desired shape from a rigid wire and begin to braid the base. It turns out something like a shiny chain mail. Unfortunately, the exact amount of raw materials is unknown.
Charming lamp in the shape of a cute alien animal is very easy to make. The most time-consuming process is cutting narrow paper wedges. We connect several wire rings together to get a semblance of a sphere, and with the help of adhesive tape we fasten the prepared parts in layers. All!
The option with pronounced charisma will appeal to hardened bachelors and lovers of noisy parties. Having seen an impressive installation above the table, guests will immediately understand what awaits them in the next couple of hours. Cheap and cheerful, but with soul...
What to do with endless plastic bottles? If you are tired of fighting them, we suggest you turn their myriad to your advantage, at least partially.

When creating a gift with your own hands, you need to use polystyrene foam tiles, duct tape and a pencil for the lamp. Possibly a list necessary materials and tools looks ridiculous, but this is really the whole set that is needed to create this product.
From polystyrene, you need to cut a circle, the diameter of which should be - 33 cm. In the center you need to draw a heart, along the perimeter of which squares should be placed, they should be located about two centimeters from each other.
This stage of work must be carried out carefully and competently. Using a sharp scalpel, you need to cut out holes in the squares that were you. The size of the holes will depend on the cartridges and bulbs located on your garland.
All light bulbs now need to be inserted around the perimeter of the heart. Speaking of free wires, they must be glued to the back wall of the lamp using adhesive tape.
Those remnants that are sure to remain from polystyrene, you need to use to create a box - a support.
When buying garlands, do not forget to purchase those garlands whose bulbs will be red, because modern garlands have a large number of bulbs, so you definitely need to take this into account.

We decorate the neck of the jar with a jute rope or any other suitable braid. We put a garland inside the jar. Instead of a garland, you can use a round one.

Handmade things keep them warm and can give a lot of positive emotions. And if these products are also useful in the household, they become completely priceless and dear to the heart.
Today we will tell you how to make something out of almost nothing. Namely - a beautiful lamp or lampshade. Most often, these products cost a lot in stores, and it is not always possible to quickly find suitable ones for the interior. What could be easier than making this colorful home accessory yourself?
Japanese style lamp
Such a lamp will fit well into the Japanese interior. After all, when sakura blossoms on the wall, stylized pillows are laid on the floor, and you pour tea into a kimono, an ordinary classic lamp will look trite.
So, to make a Japanese lamp, you will need a frame, bamboo napkins, hot glue, pencil, black marker.
We produce first preparatory work: remove all unnecessary from the frame, cut out bamboo napkins according to its size. If the napkins are “naughty” and the threads are coming apart, grab them with superglue. Then we apply superglue to the edges of the frame.
Do not apply hot glue to the entire frame at once. After all, the glue dries quickly and may not “take” a napkin. Do it step by step.
After applying the glue, apply and press the napkin. When the design is ready, only the decor remains. We take a sketch, outline and color with a marker. Ready!
The job takes about 1 hour.
A lampshade made of ribbons is a great decoration for a nursery
Do you have an old floor lamp, but the lampshade on it has faded? Do not despair! Follow instructions.
We remove the frame, rip open the old fabric lampshade. It is advisable to wash the frame with soapy water. We want a brand new lampshade! While the frame is drying, we are going to a sewing store for the necessary materials. We buy three skeins satin ribbons the color you like the most.
Arriving home, we measure the height of the frame, make allowances of about 1 cm, and also do not forget to leave 10-15 cm for the bows. Having made simple mathematical calculations, we cut off the strips of the desired length. Now you need to turn the frame over and wrap it with ribbons, alternating in color (if the colors are different) and overlapping them. We tie a bow - the lampshade is ready.
The job will take approximately 3 hours.
Such a lamp creates a mysterious atmosphere in the room due to the reflected openwork pattern on the ceiling. It takes a little patience and time to make. So, what we need: a round balloon, PVC glue, threads, a crochet hook.
It is advisable to choose a hot air balloon round shape so that the lamp is even, round, and not oblong-ovoid. This will look weird. We take a jar of PVC glue, pierce a hole through it at a distance of about 1 cm from the bottom. We make a puncture with a crochet hook. Done? Now do not rush to pull it back. First, put a thread on the head of the hook, now you can pull it out. Thus, the thread will be evenly saturated with glue, which will allow the lamp to keep its shape.
We choose threads of any color and quality. Preferably not too thin and not too thick. Medium. Now very carefully on the inflated round ball we wind the threads impregnated with PVC glue. Be patient. The threads will first slip and "run away" from you, but you just have to make a few "walkers" around the ball - and things will go quickly.
Try to wind the threads evenly, gradually filling the empty spaces. When everything is ready, cut the thread, tuck it, grease it with glue. We recommend tying the thread to the tail of the ball (tie it tightly!), Then carry the finished product directly to the balcony. Hang on a clothesline and leave this creation overnight. In the morning, you can proceed to the final stage.
Take a needle and pop the balloon. Now pull it out of the openwork lamp. It remains only to thread a light bulb into it and hang it carefully.
When using such a lamp at home, take care of an energy-saving light bulb for it.
Miracles from disposable plates
Despite the fact that this lamp is white, since it is made of white disposable plates, it is very reminiscent of orange slices, which is why, in fact, it is called that. But you can think of any other name for it. What is the point? In order to bring this idea to life, you will need disposable plates, a cylindrical frame, a pencil, a ruler, glue.
We fold disposable paper plates in half and bend. On the frame we glue the semicircles tightly to each other. The lamp is ready. In order to make such a miracle, it will take about 3 hours and a considerable supply of patience. But it's worth it, isn't it?

How to put down a night glutton?
We are all a bit of a glutton. Show at least one person who does not like to eat delicious food or just treat...
What do you find in common between a flower vase, a bottle of something and an ordinary pot? In general, almost nothing, but from the first, and from the second, and even from the third, you can make ... a lamp. In general, a lamp can be made from a lot of other things, and that's what we're going to talk about in this thread. Join now!Today in this post we will get acquainted just with the technique of making a lamp from some kind of container and paper (well, a certain set of wires, light bulbs, relays).
Naturally, before proceeding, you will have to think everything over in advance, because depending on the size of your base, you will have to use various materials for the manufacture of a lampshade, or rather different volumes of these materials. And the way the light bulb holder is attached depends on the width of the neck of the container, which will serve as the basis.So what do we need?
- Directly some kind of container - a vase, a bottle, a pot
- An incandescent lamp (or equivalent), but with a power of not more than 60 W and a suitable cartridge for it.
- Electric wire (about 1.5-2 meters) and the corresponding personal belongings - a socket, a switch.
- A pair of metal tubes with which the height of the lampshade can be adjusted.
- For the lampshade itself, you will need a frame, thick paper with light inside and thin satin ribbon.
- Auxiliary tools for work: electrician's knife and screwdriver, pliers, wire stripping pliers, ruler, pencil, glue, hole punch, knitting needle.
Let's get started!
So, let's start with the arrangement of a ceramic vase. We take it and close the opening of the neck with a brass lid with a metal tube screwed to it and a moving stop, the maximum width of which is designed for the widest place in the pea cavity. Having strengthened the lid, we fully extend the stop and fix the structure on the neck of the pot.
After the lid is finally fixed, we screw two metal tubes in its upper part, 10 and 3 centimeters long, respectively. Do not worry if they subsequently protrude above the level of the lampshade - this will only visually add height to the lamp.
Pass the wire through the tube and pull it out with a margin to make it easier to connect to the cartridge.To connect the wire to the cartridge, carefully clean its end by about 1-1.5 cm and attach it to the two terminals of the cartridge along the conductor. Insulate the remaining bare area with electrical tape to avoid trouble.
A switch can be connected at a distance of about 50 cm from the lamp. To do this, cut the wire and clean it from both segments. Having cleaned, we connect all four conductors from two wires to the corresponding terminals of the switch.
After connecting the switch, attach the plug to the remaining end of the wire.
If your choice turned out to be a container with a narrow neck, then you should opt for a rubber stopper. They can be of very different diameters, so there is always a choice. When the tube is screwed in, the rubber stopper expands slightly and sits very tightly in the neck of the vase or bottle.
It is easier to use a screwdriver to screw the tube into the bottle cap.
Now let's start making the lampshade
We take the prepared thick paper, lay it out. With the help of a ruler and a regular knitting needle, every 2 cm we outline places for folds. We fold the sheet with an accordion.
Then, on each fold, using a ruler, we outline the places for holes: one of them should be located at a distance of 2 cm from the edge of the sheet, and the second at a distance of 1.5 cm from the first hole. Using a hole punch, we make the marked holes. To make all holes perfectly symmetrical, you can use a marking template. The very first and very last folds do not need holes.
When finished with the holes, turn the marked sheet of paper upside down and carefully, using scissors, cut it as shown in the photo below. This will make it possible to attach a sheet of paper to the top ring of the lampshade.
Having done this procedure, glue the two extreme folds, laying them on top of each other and make the missing holes in this glued structure.
If possible, it is better to stock up on a special threaded plastic adapter ring, which will allow you to conveniently and firmly dock the cartridge and the lampshade frame.
After the entire base is ready, carefully put the prepared sheet of paper on the top ring of the lampshade frame, straighten the folds, thread the tape into the top row, tighten it.
