For example, a lamp for your home or villa can be made from beautiful bottles of wine. Choose too large and massive bottles are not worth it, because the chandelier is too heavy. To implement this idea, you need to turn to a workshop where you can gently cut off the bottoms at the bottles and process their edges. Of course, if the equipment for cutting and processing glass is available from the home master, then he can do such work himself. After the bottom of the bottle is removed, it will need to insert a cartridge with a bulb and a wire, and the homemade chandelier is almost ready. It remains only to decorate the "newly made" plafond from the bottle. To do this, you can use paints for painting on glass, ribbons, lace or what the author tells fantasy.

You can make a lamp with your own hands of polymer clay - the material that is sold in the stores of goods for artists. For the manufacture of a lamp it is better to purchase clay in the form of a paste. In addition to clay, you will also need a base with a light bulb. Depending on the shape of this base, you need to make a blank of a future lampshade made of cardboard. If the base, for example, is square, then you can use as a template a packet from under packaged juice.

It is not difficult to make a lamp with your own hands, using polymer clay. To do this, it is sufficient to simply extrude the mass of the prepared template in random order. Such lamps with a chaotic arrangement of strips of clay look attractive and exotic. After the work is finished, the workpiece is allowed to dry and a cardboard pattern is extracted from it. Now the resulting "lampshade" should be placed on the base with a lamp and an exclusive lamp is ready.

The first four sticks spread in the form of a square or "well" so that the ends of the rods protrude beyond the perimeter. The workpiece is stuck together, then begin to attach the sticks from above, "building up" the future lampshade in height. How high the future lamp will turn out, depends solely on the patience of the master and the availability of material, that is, sticks. After the completion of the assembly, you can proceed to decorating the lamp, decorating the lampshade in accordance with the style of the room where it is planned to hang.

Decorative lamp with your own hands can be made from fabric, using tulle, organza, silk and other translucent materials. Stretch homemade lampshades can be on the frames, left from old lamps. And to make a lamp of the original form, the frame can be made independently, for example, from a wire.

However, when taking on such creative work it is important to remember about fire safety. In lamps with a shade of paper, fabric and other combustible materials, you can not insert incandescent bulbs, as they heat up during operation. The best option for such luminaires is LED or energy-saving lamps of low power.
