Lamp kits (AKA lamp repair kits) are really inexpensive! As a result, you can easily build a beautiful lamp for much lower cost than a commercial equivalent! They also aren’t difficult to put together. However, if at any point you’re unsure about the electrical aspects of building/installing your own lamp, consult an electrician to be safe.

12 Creative DIY Lamp Projects

Each fantastic DIY Lamp will have it’s own set of directions, but there are some basic items that will make your job easier.

  • Screwdriver – Odds are, you are going to need to have a screwdriver handy when you start working on your project.
  • Lamp Kit – They sell lamp-making kits to give you all the wiring you need. This is easier than trying to figure it out a piece at a time.
  • Lamp Base – Whether you are using an old bottle, making the base, or recycling items around the house, you will need a base for the lamp. Go wild with what you use and you’ll see some amazing results.
