Buy a desk lamp, come to visit a friend, and it is the same. Perplexity, turning into a desire to do something original unique. For example, a designer lamp. This will certainly not anybody, because even if you take the ideas in this article, two identical bulbs will not work by definition - in the assembly process, each will bring something of their own. But from the basic concepts of harm will not be.

Lamp made of wood materials

This option will appeal to nature lovers. It is an eco-friendly solution, full safety for health and attractive appearance.

To create a design table lamp, two types of wood-based materials can be used: natural stumps, tree branches and sections

That maintain the structure of the natural formation and wood treated with a man: boards, rolls, dies.

1. For the first option, take a few forks of branches, trim them with a hacksaw if they are thick, and shears, if thin.
2. Glue obtained in branched segments system directed upwards or downwards.
3. In the middle of the beam, insert the brass threaded tube (it can be bought, but you can take an old chandelier found in the attic, flea market, or even in the garbage - sometimes there are things that you can give a second life). Through it pass the cord, attach one end of the outlet, on the other - a cartridge with a thread for light bulbs.
4. It remains to cover a lamp shade made of fabric or paper on the wire frame - and a desk lamp is ready.

Lamp made of pine or beech dice done differently. There will need to work not only with a hacksaw, but sandpaper.

1. Dies are trimmed in length to the required size in the required locations pen drill holes drilled.
2. Stand is made of two plates between which is inserted into the third, and then tighten the nut and bolt.
3. Single or double rams are moving on foot to the hinge.
4. The lampshade is made of thinner plates, held together by small nails. Mounting does not necessarily have to be careful, deliberate rudeness - it's a fad.
5. Inside the shade to the bracket is attached to the bulb holder and the wire can grab to leg-arm contrast tape.

The lamp of the tubes - step by step guide

Table lamp does not have to be a complicated configuration. The main rule independently design - no rules.

The lamp may not even be the lampshade, the main thing is to choose a light bulb with a frosted bulb, which will scatter light. It looks wonderful luminaire copper.

For the manufacture of the lamp from the copper tube will need to do several operations.

Step 1. To begin with copper tube need to partition. To do this, use a ruler and marker. Note the number of tube bends, which will connect the corners in order to make the desired number of segments.

Step 2. The tube is cut with a roller cutter. Copper - a soft metal, and does not require much effort for cutting it.

Step 3. Passing the power cord through the segments, connect them with the parts and glue. You can use the super-adhesive (Ethyl cyanoacrylate) that instantly grab the details. All that remains is to connect the power cord with a cartridge with a bulb and plug.

In the same way one can make an original lamp in metal water pipes. Here, instead of gluing pieces performed their screw tightening. Brass parts can be ground to a shine, and then varnish which prevent metal staining.

The lamp of the water pipes can be made in the form of a robot or a lamppost, and the switch is made from the flag of valves.
