7 Incredible Lamps People Actually Made!
7 incredible lamps people actually madeHave you ever thought about making a lamp? It seemed difficult until I started looking up tutorials. I pictured a Flashdance scene with a torn, off-the-shoulder sweatshirt and lots of welding equipment, but it turns out, you don't need any of that (okay, maybe the sweatshirt).
Making a lamp is not that hard. It takes a bit of reading instructions and practice, but I've found some tutorials that will help you become a master in no time. Check out these incredible lamps made by people just like you.
1. Bar Cart
Impress guests at your next party with a lamp that doubles as a bar cart.
2. Teacup Lamp
Why leave pretty teacups in the cupboard? This showpiece was created by drilling through teacups and a teapot with a special diamond tile drill bit.
3. Woven Wood
Wood veneer is the secret ingredient in this cool lamp made from scratch.
4. Paint Pen
Love to draw? Decorate a boring lamp base with a Sharpie oil paint marker and freehand doodles.
