Pendant lamp in the interior
Preparation
What you need to know before making a lamp:
- It is recommended to use LED or energy-saving light bulbs when creating your own designer lamp. Standard incandescent bulbs get too hot and can damage the structure.
- If you are disassembling a finished lamp, you need to be extremely careful with the wires, and after finishing, make sure they are intact.
- There are light bulbs in several color temperatures. When creating a pendant lamp for your home, you should opt for a “warm” shade.
An Illustrative Example for Distinguishing color temperature: how larger number on the box, the higher its temperature, and the colder shade of light it has.

Frame selection
Before you make a lamp, you need to prepare the base. Most often it consists of a pair of rings to which a cardboard or plastic backing is attached to give it shape.
The following ideas will help resolve the issue of finding the basis for a future lampshade:
- You can make this type of frame yourself with only wire and pliers on hand.
- Frames are sold in construction stores or craft stores.
- It's not uncommon to find old lamps at flea markets where you can get the frame.
- Instead of frame structure, the lamp socket can hold the neck of a 5 liter plastic bottle. Therefore, there is a solution in the figure below.

Lamp ideas
In your own decoration, hanging or table lamp there is nothing complicated. But it’s better to draw a sketch on paper before starting work. The process will be simple and quick, and you can make changes along the way.
"Live" lamp
This designer lampshade is called “Photosynthesis”. It was designed and brought into reality by an author from Tel Aviv. The frame here is represented by a metal mesh, at the base of which there is indoor plant. As it grows, the flower fills the entire interior space of the lamp and makes the design of the room summery and fresh. There is no need to use a special light bulb here; a regular LED light bulb will do for plants. Creating such a pendant lamp is not too troublesome. You can add variety to its decor, taking into account what accessories and tools will be available.
Hanging living lamp
When making such a lamp with your own hands, you cannot use an overly heavy pot with a plant. Special attention You need to pay attention to the insulation of the wiring and run it along the supporting wire.
Making a lamp with your own hands from fabric is an excellent solution, because big choice colors and textures allows you to realize many creative ideas and create decorative lampshades for a room with any interior. First of all, you need to prepare the necessary materials:
- textile;
- tape or self-adhesive film;
- ruler or centimeter;
- scissors;
- a simple pencil;
- metal rings for the frame;
- binders;
- brush;
- glue;
- strip of paper.
Sequencing:
- Before you make a lamp, you need to determine its shape. A cylindrical base is ideal for a fabric product.
When deciding on the height and width, you should make sure that the base is not too close to the light bulb.
- You need to cut out a rectangle from the adhesive film and a piece of fabric, the edges of which are 5 cm larger. Attach the fabric to the table with the film, face down.
- Find the most beautiful pattern on the fabric that should be on the lamp and use a ruler to draw the corners and dotted line.
- Align the fabric and stick the film on it.
- Using binder clips, secure the lampshade to the surface of the frame from the bottom and top.
- Use a pencil to mark the edges and the side that will be on top. Glue the parts of the lampshade to each other and let them dry.
- Turn the structure over, apply glue to the edge and insert a wire ring. Secure with binders and let dry. Repeat the procedure at the other end.
- Glue a strip of paper from the edges. After it dries, glue a fabric strip on top. Do the same on the seam on the side of the lamp.

If you make small triangular cuts in the paper while gluing it, it will bend better.
There are other ideas on how to make a lamp with your own hands. Using various materials and fittings, you can create equally impressive decorative lampshades from threads, paper and other improvised materials.
Photo collage
To make such a designer lampshade-photo frame, you will need:
- frame, as in the previous example, or a ready-made lamp with a clean white lampshade;
- several sheets of tracing paper;
- scissors;
- PVA glue;
- a simple pencil;
- printer (recommended to use inkjet).
Having chosen your favorite and most beautiful photographs, you need to make a collage using photo editors. You can collage images by cutting them out of paper. This method leaves a lot of room for creative idea: Any decor can be applied to the lamp, not just a photo: a child’s drawing, a motivating aphorism or a map of your favorite area.
DIY photo collage table lamp
Before you make a lamp from photographs, you should make sure that the paint is dry. You should absolutely not bend paper sheets of tracing paper, because the bend will always be noticeable.
Sun made of ropes
Creating such a designer pendant lamp is much easier than it seems. Required tools:
- threads;
- glue (for wallpaper or PVA);
- petrolatum;
- balloon.
Initially already inflated balloon lubricate with Vaseline. This is necessary so that threads do not stick to it. The threads are soaked in glue and wrapped around the ball. After the product dries, it is blown off and put away. The making of the rope sun is completed.
What needs to be done to make the decor of the lamp as successful as possible: firstly, you should first get your hands on it and make a couple of small lamps for testing. Secondly, before winding the threads on the ball, you need to mark the place where there should be no threads. Through this hole the ball will be removed and the light bulb will be inserted.
Making a lamp
Decorating the lamp is half the battle. The main thing is quality work done without sad consequences. Therefore, it is imperative to take into account the following factors:
- If a lamp hanging from the ceiling is connected, the junction of the wires and the product itself must be covered with a protective cap.
- If the light bulb gets very hot during operation, the designer lampshade surrounding it should not be too close. This is why it is worth using small incandescent light bulbs.
- If the product is heavy, it is strictly forbidden to hang it on wires. For this purpose, special rods, cables or brackets are provided for mounting on walls or ceilings.
- To illuminate a room with high humidity: in a bathroom, sauna or bathhouse, it is better not to implement your ideas for making a lamp with your own hands, but to buy and install a special product that contains protection from moisture.
- During installation of the lamp, the wiring must be insulated to eliminate the possibility of injury to the master and his loved ones.

Lamp - an extremely practical item, because unlike a bulky chandelier, it is very compact and can be located anywhere, even on the floor. In the process of creating an interior, it is often forgotten because it plays a secondary role. However, in the situation small apartment or room, it will be almost irreplaceable, and will also help add coziness and warmth to the room. In modern lighting equipment stores you can find a lamp for every taste, but isn’t it more interesting to create it? with my own hands? In this article we will tell you how to make a beautiful and unusual lamp using absolutely ordinary materials, which are in every home.
1. Garland lamp
To create such a lamp you will need a wire base, fishing line, paper or plastic bottles, as well as patience, patience and more patience.
You need to create a frame of the required shape from wire, and cut out circles or figures from paper or bottles. Next, you either simply attach them to the wire itself with glue, or string them on a fishing line. The thinner the line, the more weightless your design will be, so from a distance it will seem that your butterflies are “fluttering” on their own.
2. Lamp made of beads
To create such a product you will need wire and, if desired, fabric. In more simple version you simply string colorful beads onto a wire and bend it randomly. Then a regular light bulb is fixed in the center.
If your soul desires something softer, with an oriental flavor, you can create unusual lampshades made of fabric, decorated with beads. For this, you will need old CDs, to which you will attach both fabric and beads strung on the same wire – an irreplaceable element, stock up on it in abundance!
The fabric should be translucent: organza or tulle will do. It is stitched from one edge and secured only at the top. Then you can string wire with beads onto it. Please note that it is better to choose transparent or “chameleon” beads, otherwise they will look too gloomy when the light bulb is lit. Instead of a light bulb, you can place a flickering light inside the lamp. New Year's garland: this way you will create a festive atmosphere in the room.
3. Cloud lamp
An incredibly cute and gentle option that is suitable for both children and adults. It may seem that it is quite difficult to perform, but this is not at all the case.
To create it, you only need a paper “Japanese” lantern, cotton wool and a lot of glue. A large amount of cotton wool is glued onto the lantern to create a lush lump. Additionally, it can be decorated with pendants in the form of stars, crescents or raindrops. That's all, actually.
It’s better if the cloud is held on a thin line, - this way you will create a weightless effect in the room. This is a great theme party idea, so grab some cotton wool and get going!
4. Lamp-lock
This solution is suitable for those who, as a child, loved to cut out pictures from magazines. A surprisingly simple lamp that will create a mysterious, almost mystical atmosphere in the room.
You will need to find a photograph (or print a picture) of an ancient castle, carefully cut it out and roll it into a kind of tube. Then secure the structure with tape and place a small light bulb inside. On dark evenings, your castle will be illuminated from the inside, and mysterious shadows will flicker against its background... well, how can you not tell? a scary fairy tale? You can also cut out “windows” in the castle through which light will pour out.
5. Lamp made from old things
Old dishes, pieces of furniture and even old, shabby lamps are found in every home. It's good that you didn't throw them away, because now they will function again, you just need to decide on the style. In some cases, you don't even have to decorate anything, you just need to place the lamp (or what's left of it) in a suitable environment.
Most often, the matter is limited to a drill or glue with a death grip. Such lamps can be placed in any part of the apartment, the main thing is to observe the general compatibility.
And a few final tips:
1. Use only energy-saving light bulbs in lamps! You don't want to see flames Are you in the place where your beautiful creation was just?
2. Make sure that the material you choose does not hide the light – after all, first of all, the lamp should illuminate and only then decorate the room.
3. Don't be afraid to experiment, you will succeed! Who knows, maybe there might be a decorative designer dormant in you? It's time to wake him up!

A chandelier in a room is not only a lighting fixture. Without exaggeration, we can say that it is the main decoration of the room. Handmade items are considered especially valuable. This allows us to highlight the special taste of the owners of the home, as well as their extraordinary and creative mind. Undoubtedly, this type The work is quite complex and requires increased concentration. But at the same time, when creating decorations for your home, you can find many interesting and extraordinary solutions in it!
This article presents some ideas for decorating a chandelier with your own hands, as well as instructions for them. Everything is written so simply and clearly that anyone can do it at home.
In order to make a chandelier, sometimes the most unusual materials are used. For example, everyone is already familiar with glass or wood, plastic, and so on. But sometimes, when you want something completely “unusual,” wooden skewers and glass bottles wine bottles, and cans, and all kinds of tree branches, and cardboard, and even straw. You need to choose depending on the idea of the creator and the wishes of the apartment owners. It is also necessary to take into account general interior premises where the finished product is supposed to be placed.
Interesting idea for a chandelier made from plastic spoons
Plastic spoons for disposable meals are one of the simplest and most easily available materials for creating a chandelier for a room. Their advantages are low price, variety color range and will last similar material enough for a long time. To create such an extraordinary chandelier, you will need a minimum of investments, both physical and material.
Materials:
- empty bottle drinking water, volume 5 liters;
- plastic spoons (their number depends on the size of the bottle);
- glue for plastic;
- old chandelier(or rather, a cartridge from it);
- sharpened knife.
Process of creation:
- First you need to prepare a plastic bottle for subsequent steps. Remove the label in advance, cut off the bottom, dry well.
- Then you need to remove the plastic spoons from the packaging and carefully cut off the unnecessary handles with a knife, leaving about 2-3 centimeters above the level of the “scoop”.
- You need to glue the scoop blanks to the base of the bottle. Apply to the remaining “tail” a large number of glue and press it to the surface (with the convex side of the spoon facing out). It is necessary to cover the entire bottle in a circle until the entire perimeter is occupied by plastic “spoons”. It is advisable to arrange them in a checkerboard pattern and slightly move them together. This will leave fewer “free spots”.
- You need to remove the cartridge from the old unnecessary chandelier, and then place it in an already glued and dried bottle and fix it to the frame.
- A decorative bowl can also be made from plastic spoons: “scoops” are glued around the neck of the eggplant.
- Install and connect the chandelier, check its operation.
Note! Possible option decorative painting or painting spoons in absolutely any color. Thus, your product will look even more beautiful and more original!
Chandelier made of plastic bottles in the form of leaves
One more an unusual option The interior will feature a chandelier in the shape of leaves. It is created from simple plastic bottles, the variety of colors of which allows you to work in the most unusual colors and embody the most daring ideas.
Process of creation:
- Cut plastic bottles into blanks shaped like future leaves.
- For each workpiece, the sheet shape is finally fixed.
- Using a soldering iron with a thick tip and a one-sided bevel, you need to slightly fuse the sections of each leaf in order to give the future product the greatest effect.
- In the same way, using a soldering iron, you need to give the workpieces a sheet structure. You need to act extremely carefully and accurately, because you can easily make a hole in the plastic. Such a leaf with outlined veins and slightly fused edges will look complete.
- Using a hot needle, you need to melt several holes at the “leg” of each leaf in order to attach them.
- Using thin wire, form branches and screw them to a steel wire frame.
Also great idea There will be the production of a new chandelier in the form of a lampshade for a floor lamp or a lamp for a table. Thus, it will be a great addition to the previous product!
Chandelier with paper butterflies
The most common product option is a chandelier with butterflies. And this is not without reason. Let's start with the fact that this option looks luxurious and expensive, and secondly, its production does not require any special physical costs. Thus, even a child can participate in creating a chandelier.
Process of creation:
- It is based on either an old chandelier or a similar frame. If you don’t have one, then you can take the simplest wooden or metal rim. If such material is not available, then, as an option, you can take thick wire and make about 2-3 skeins, so that a circle is formed.
- Cut out butterflies from paper according to the template. You need to take the butterfly template and adjust it to the desired size. The option also looks very unusual when butterflies of several sizes are located on the chandelier (again, depending on desire). Transfer the outlines onto paper and carefully cut out, preferably with a sharp edge stationery knife, or small, non-rounded scissors. For the templates themselves, it is better to use a material that is dense, does not become very dirty and does not attract dust. For example, velvet paper is very poorly suited for the product, because in the future you will need to vacuum the chandelier quite often.
- Take a nylon thread or transparent fishing line and attach the butterflies to it. There are two types of fastening: either piercing the bodies of the butterflies, or gluing them with silicone glue.
- Next, we attach the threads with butterflies to the base of the frame and decorate it.
- You can also try a fun variation by making a wire ball! It should be based on a pendant from a chandelier and placed on it using glue gun several butterfly patterns.
Fabric chandelier
This chandelier is also based on a frame. As in the previous version, either old metal frames or thick wire are suitable for its manufacture.
After you have pre-prepared the base, start cutting out the fabric from which the lampshade will be made in the future. How long will it be ready product, depends on your desire, but it is worth considering that the width of the fabric must be the same as the diameter of the frame! Once you finish the pattern, you need to do a fitting.
Another nuance is that the top of the fabric will need to be sewn directly on the frame, which means that it (the frame) must be solid. Otherwise, if it is possible to thread it directly into the fabric, then you should first fold the top edge of the pattern and stitch it, and then iron it. Then we sew a seam on the side of the product.
To prevent the lampshade from losing its shape, you should pay due attention to the material. If the fabric is too light, “airy,” then the bottom of the product should be weighted. You can use cardboard or fishing line for this.
Carefully sewn fringe, lace or braid will look just as beautiful. But do not “overload” the product! The process of creating a fabric chandelier is similar to making a lace chandelier. So you can safely experiment with the materials that are placed on the frame.
Lamp made of threads and a balloon
Materials:
- dense threads, such as wool, cotton, or jute rope– at least 1 meter;
- cartridge;
- petrolatum;
- PVA glue;
- a brush for applying glue and Vaseline (it is advisable that the brush does not fade);
- 1 or 2 pieces balloons(the first in order to work with it, and the second in order to check the finished product, if desired);
Process of creation:
- Inflate the balloon to a certain size and secure it. Remember that the finished work will exactly follow the outline of the ball! Using a marker, draw a couple of circles at the top and bottom in order to determine the boundaries of thread winding.
- Using a brush, coat the entire perimeter of the ball with Vaseline.
- Pour PVA into plastic container and thoroughly process the threads with it (It is not advisable to apply glue to the entire length of the threads at once! Process them as you wind them around the ball!).
- Taking into account the boundaries that you drew with a marker, wind the threads around the ball. Do not forget that the future depends on the density with which you wind appearance products.
- After wrapping, you need to leave the product for a day until it is completely dry; After complete drying, you need to burst the ball and remove it through the holes.
- Cut a spot in the top and insert the cartridge.
- To be completely sure that the product is strong, you can insert a balloon into it and inflate it. In a similar way, you can check the flexibility and reliability of the lampshade.
Alternatively, you can paint the structure with a spray can or acrylic paint, attach all kinds of decorative ornaments, such as butterflies, artificial flowers or beads. Also, a great idea would be to arrange several balls in the form of a bunch of grapes and fasten them together.
Wine bottle chandelier
This version of the chandelier is a little more complex than the previous ones. Making a chandelier this way is quite difficult; the manufacturing process will require care and attention. However, you will like the result!
Materials:
- wine bottle;
- glass cutter;
- sandpaper for sanding edges;
- cartridge;
- electrical wire;
- metal or wooden frame, rim.
Process of creation:
- First you need to prepare the bottle itself for further manipulations with it. The first step is to draw a straight line around the perimeter at the level you need. This is required in order to cut off the bottom of the bottle using a glass cutter;
- To avoid cutting yourself on the glass, you need to sand the sharp edges sandpaper;
- Pull the wire through the neck of the bottle and then connect the socket;
- Attach the bottle to the frame.
You can also decorate the bottle with all kinds of decorative items, or leave it in its original form. In any case, it will look original and impressive.
The number of products on the frame depends on your desire. You can either leave one bottle or secure four or more bottles at once.
Laserdisc chandelier idea
This idea is great for those who have a large number of laser discs left in the house, but don’t dare throw them away. It’s worth noting right away that manufacturing options and the result can be very different. It all depends on your imagination and creativity!
Materials:
- two round wooden planks different thicknesses, and which are slightly larger in diameter than disks;
- racks made of metal or wood;
- Fluorescent Lamp;
- magnetic switch;
- disks.
Process of creation:
- Make a hole in a thicker board and install a starter with a switch in it.
- Then connect it all to the lamp.
- String disks onto the lamp.
- Place the stands around the discs and secure the top.
The finished product will delight its owners for a long time, and it does not require special care. It is not advisable to place this type of chandelier in a child’s room so that the child cannot harm himself (only if the chandelier hangs out of reach).
Shabby chic chandelier
To create spectacular lighting in a room, you can also make a chandelier from fabric or beads. The result will be a kind of candelabra or lampshade in the “shabby chic” style.
Materials:
- a ready-made metal or wooden frame (or it can be made from an old hoop, garden basket, thick wire);
- socket and lamp;
- chains and threads for decoration;
- all kinds of beads and seed beads.
Working on such a lampshade is not difficult, but it is a very painstaking task. Such chandeliers usually consist of two or three levels of rings, which are located on top of each other. It all depends on the size of the chosen bases. If you take rings of the same diameter, the finished product will be made in the “modern” style.
One of important points is that before you start decorating the chandelier you need to paint and wrap the frames with decorative materials!
The approximate consumption of beads is:
- For the lower part of the lampshade - 16 mm beads, about 15-17 pieces per thread;
- For the upper part of the lampshade - 12 mm beads, about 35 pieces per thread.
Naturally, when stringing beads on a thread, you can increase or decrease their number or the degree of thread tension. But it is still advisable to stock up on materials in excess of the norm.
The essence of the work is to hang threads with beads in a “waterfall” or “cascade” so that they flow downward along the structure.
In order to create the effect of “muting” the light, you can sheathe the frame with thick fabric.
A DIY chandelier will definitely add a fresh touch, originality and beauty to your interior. You will immediately notice how the room will sparkle with new colors, and your guests will sincerely admire your creativity, hard work and original taste!
