The most often blown bulbs go to the trash. But do not rush to throw them out! From them, you can get an original lamp that will complement your home interior, adding a twist to it.
We will need:
- twenty burnt out bulbs;
- a working light bulb;
- cord, braid and cartridge;
- ruler, pencil, paper;
- scissors, glue, Velcro;
- coin.
Step 1
First, the author of this lesson took a sheet of paper and drew a sketch of the future designer lamp on it. He further divided the sketch into five parts (the direction is from the center). Repeat the same procedure with a sketch of a lamp made of blown bulbs.
Step 2
Next, put five bulbs to each other at an equal angle - you get an isosceles pentagon.
Step 3
In places of contact with control points, mark the bulbs.
Step 4
Glue the bulb at the marked points with Velcro.
Step 5
Now you need to form a lamp using the remaining fifteen inactive bulbs for this purpose. The photo shows what in the end you should get for the design.
Step 6
Insert a working light bulb in the center of the structure, connect a cartridge with a cord to it. Check the homemade lamp for performance.
Now a lamp from old light bulbs will decorate your house! Perhaps your friends will like the idea of such a home-made lamp so that orders for its manufacture will sprinkle on you! So never rush to get rid of old light bulbs!
