Let there be light
In the dark season, cozy light is essential. This pretty ceiling lamp provides comfort. Here you will find the DIY guide.
You need this for the lamp:
- Approximately 8 m veneer strips in beech or book-colored edge band, approx. 2 cm wide (hardware store)
- wood glue
- clothespins
- tacker
- Electric cable with lamp holder (eg Hemma from Ikea)
- small cardboard piece about 10 x 10 cm
- LED bulbs
And that's how easy it is:
1. Form veneer strips of the desired diameter into a circle and join with glue. Fix with a clothespin.
2. Form another strip into a circle and attach it to the existing circle. Glue overlapping sections together with glue and fix with a clamp.
3. Now you can weave with long stripes in all directions through the existing circles. The overlapping sections connect again and again with glue and also fix with a clip.
4. While the glue is drying, unscrew the ring of the lamp socket.
5. Using a compass, transfer the diameter of the lamp holder to the box and cut out the hole.
6. Insert the socket through the cardboard and fix it with the ring.
7. Remove clothespins. Now position the veneer light over the socket and fix the veneer strips to the cardboard with glue. Fix again with clothespins and let dry.
Attention: have all electrical work done by a specialist! Instead of a conventional bulb use a non-warming LED bulb for safety's sake !!!
