Instructions for making wooden lamps

Let's look at several master classes on how to make wooden chandeliers with your own hands.

It’s easy to do this kind of work, and the result will captivate you with its elegant forms.

Lamp in the form of wooden squares

What is included in the geometry of the room? Walls, furniture, curtains, doors and windows. But not only. You can refresh the design with an unusual chandelier, the shape of which will resemble rectangles connected by the edges of each other, with one diagonal running inside each rectangle.

To make a chandelier you will need:

1. 18 pcs. wooden planks.
2. staple gun and staples.
3. Ready-made metal lamp socket.
4. Paints for metal.
5. Ruler.
6. Pencil.

Step-by-step instruction:

Preparing a chandelier frame from wooden planks of natural color. You will need 4 pcs. long identical strips - for vertical elements, and another 8 pcs. smaller ones - for transverse inserts.
Create a chandelier frame. You need to take 2 pcs. long planks and place them parallel to each other, 2 pcs. short slats are placed at the ends, perpendicular to the long slats. Using a staple gun, the planks are stapled together. The result is one facet of the future frame. You will need to perform the same element again.
Then, using 2 pcs. the remaining short strips, prepared earlier, rectangles are fastened together in the upper and lower parts. You can add a designer look to the entire structure by attaching a diagonal strip to the resulting frame inside each rectangle. To make the resulting frame look neater, before attaching the internal diagonal strips, their ends are cut at an angle of 45 degrees.

To attach the light bulb itself, you need to take a ready-made metal pendant for lighting. Metal parts are painted in the desired color. While the paint is drying, you need to cut a hole in the frame to secure it to the factory hanger. The diameter of the hole should not be much larger than the diameter of the lamp pendant tube. But the inside must be secured with a washer or stopper. When the paint has dried, you can attach the chandelier to the ceiling, securing all the elements well. The last thing is to screw in the light bulb.

The advantage of such products is that wood is easy to work with and is safe because all electrically conductive parts are hidden. A DIY chandelier can be adapted to any interior.

Tangle chandelier

Making a spherical lamp (in the form of a ball), which can be used as a night light if you provide a low-power light bulb.

Materials and tools:

1. Very thin wood veneer (the main element of the lamp).
2. Wood glue (PVA is possible).
3. Clamps.
4. Electric socket for a low-power light bulb.
6. Pencil.
6. Scissors or stationery knife.

Stages of work - blanks, fastening, connection

If there are no ready-made veneer strips, you can cut them from thin plywood or thick cardboard. The stripes can be marked with a pencil or simply cut out, since they do not have to be the same. All design solutions are welcome.

Pasting blanks.

The strips are rolled up in a circle of a certain diameter, gluing them at the points of contact. For good effect gluing, the joints are secured using office clips (binders). In the process of such twisting and gluing, inserting veneer hoops different diameters inside each other, a spherical structure is obtained.

Chuck mount.

From a piece of plywood you need to cut a square - a limiter. A hole is cut in the center of the square with a diameter the same as the electric cartridge, which must be inserted into the cut square until it stops. Interior The cartridge is fixed on the back side of the square with a cartridge clamp. The wire with the attached holder for the light bulb is pulled through the chandelier model wound from veneer until it stops with a plywood stop.

Connection.

The wire is pulled out from the chandelier, taking into account how it will hang.

The light bulb is then screwed in, carefully pushing the strips apart and then pushing them back into place. All fastenings are checked, and now you can connect the finished chandelier to the network.

Loft style lamp design

Simplicity of details is a distinctive feature of the loft style. It is quite easy to construct a lamp with your own hands - a sconce made of wood in this design.

Materials and tools required:

1. Wooden bracket for mounting the lamp.
2. Electrical socket, plug and light bulb.
3. Textile wire.
4. Spray paint for wood.

You can make a wooden bracket yourself, or you can buy a ready-made one. Drill holes in the right places through which the wire will be threaded and with the help of which the lamp itself will be attached to the wall. The next step is painting the bracket. The wooden blank is painted in accordance with the chosen color palette design.

After each layer of paint applied, you need to give it time to dry.

A wire is threaded through the hole and wrapped in a nice loop around the bracket. An electric socket with a light bulb is attached to the top of the wire. An electrical plug is attached to the other end of the wire. The lamp is ready.

Veneer chandelier

This unique pendant lamp made of flexible veneer will decorate a dining room or bedroom - its rounded shape and neutral colors will suit any interior design.

Required:

an elastic sheet of plywood (the length of the sheet determines the height of the chandelier frame + a small piece of plywood for attaching the electric socket);
2 pcs. wooden hoops (hoops can be of the same or different diameters);
office or construction clips;
glue gun;
ruler;
pencil;
a stationery or construction knife or large scissors.

Execution technology

We prepare tools and materials, and proceed to the master class.

Cutting strips of plywood for the chandelier frame.

Using a pencil and a ruler, parallel lines of the same length and 2 cm wide are drawn on plywood - the boundaries of the strips of future chandelier elements, which are then cut out with a stationery knife or strong scissors. You can diversify the design of your future chandelier by cutting strips different widths. In addition to the long strips, you need to cut 4 pieces. stripes that are almost 2 times smaller than the main ones. The function of these short strips is to hold the chandelier structure by holding together two wooden hoops.

Manufacturing a limiter for an electric cartridge.

In order to get a limiter of the required size, you need to take the remaining piece of plywood that was prepared earlier, place the hoop of the upper part of the chandelier on it and trace the outer contour of the hoop along the plywood with a pencil. Then, using large scissors, the limiter is cut out. In the center of the limiter you need to cut a hole with a diameter the same as an electric cartridge. The stopper with the hole is glued to the top of the hoop of the chandelier mock-up.

Fastening the cut strips to wooden hoops.

First of all, 4 pieces are glued to the wooden hoops. short strips, strictly 90 degrees to each other, to tighten the structure. The hoops must be exactly parallel to each other. For better adhesion, you need to use clamps. After the 4 main holder strips have been glued, the space between them should be filled evenly with the remaining long strips, gluing them in the same way, fastening them with clips on the upper and lower hoops.

Today in every apartment you can find a chandelier on the ceiling. Typically, such products have standard, boring shapes, and the same materials are used to create such a lamp. Typically this is a design with 3-7 shades with one or more light bulbs in them, made of aluminum, hard plastic and glass.

To create a unique lamp you need to use something new and unusual. You can start changing the shape, but it’s even better to replace standard material for something unusual. An excellent solution is to create a chandelier with your own hands from natural wood or plywood.

Driftwood chandelier

An excellent option for creating a ceiling chandelier with your own hands is to use an ordinary piece of wood, which you can find on the street while walking or on the way home from work. Such a device will turn out to be very unusual, beautiful and quite environmentally friendly.

In addition, such a chandelier will cost incredibly cheap, the price will be tens of times lower than the price of a ready-made standard device that everyone has already become tired of.

What materials will you need:

Dry driftwood, the length and size you need. This is very easy to find when you go into the forest. If you find it a little damp, you will need to wait until it dries on the balcony.
E14 or E27 format sockets, depending on what kind of light bulb you want to use.
LED lamps with a socket for your socket.
Metal cable for installation, with special clamps.
A piece of dry tree branch with a diameter of about five centimeters.
Nails and screws.
The board is two centimeters thick and measures ten by ten.
Saw and drill or engraver, soldering iron, pliers and screwdrivers.

Having collected all the listed tools and materials, you can begin to assemble the ceiling device with your own hands.

Now let’s look at what steps you should go through to get a homemade ceiling chandelier made of wood:

We completely remove the bark from our wooden branch and clean its surface sandpaper. Do not overdo it too much so as not to disturb the natural appearance.
We decide on the number and location of our light bulbs.
We drill holes for the light bulbs and make a small groove on the top of the branch to lay the wires in it.
We take a square board and drill holes into it for the holding cable, mounting screw and wire.
From a prepared tree branch with a five-centimeter diameter, we make pieces of five centimeters each, in quantities equal to the number of light bulbs.
We drill out the core with a drill or cutter to a depth of 4.5 centimeters. On the back side in the center we drill a through hole for the wire.
We connect the wires to the sockets and put our wooden covers on each socket. We insert the end of the wire into the hole in the main branch.
We fix the steel cable to the snag at two points. We fix it with self-tapping screws.
We connect all the wires into one and connect it to a square board. We also connect a steel cable to it.

Be sure to insulate all connections and soldering of wires. Best to use heat shrink tube. But the option using electrical tape will also be very good.

Let's look at them separately

Coffee service

Creating holes

This is a very beautiful type of chandelier that can be used in both the kitchen and living room. Here we take a board as a base (ash, birch, spruce or pine is best) and carry out the following manipulations with it:

drill holes in the board;
cover the board with stain after it has been sanded. If oak was taken, then you can do without painting and opening with varnish;
We take several cups of coffee and saucers to go with them. You will also need wires and rings, an equal number of cartridges and twice as many rubber gaskets;
make holes in cups and saucers. To do this, you need to use only a special drill for working with tiles or glass;

Note! You need to drill slowly and very carefully.

The chandelier is ready

If desired, such a lighting device can be hung by chains, attaching rings to the sides of the board.
The most difficult thing about such a chandelier is drilling holes in the ceramic cups and saucers, as well as connecting the product to the power supply.
In general, we can say that such a model is quite difficult to make with your own hands. But don’t despair, there are much easier models to implement.

And the driftwood will come in handy

Scheme of cuts

An easier way to create a chandelier is to use ordinary driftwood brought from the forest. Moreover, light bulbs in this situation can play the role of stylized fruits, leaves or other decorative elements. The main difficulty here will be masking the wires.
Assembling a ceiling-type chandelier made of wood in in this case will happen according to the following scheme:

choose the branch that you like best with its curves;
we clean its surface from excess bark, lichens and moss;
then dry the driftwood well and sand it using sandpaper;
choose the light bulbs that best match the stick you have chosen. Use only energy-saving and low-heat light bulbs;
to lay the wires, we make shallow cuts into which they will then be placed;
in case of failure, all unnecessary cuts can be easily disguised with putty;
Light bulbs should be placed on the edges of such driftwood. At the same time, they can be placed in lampshades or simply fall from the branches. Both options will be quite original.

Final result

Here you can use a wide variety of decorative elements: beads on a string, glass balls from an old chandelier, soft toys and other materials. Thanks to this, your craft will become unique, unusual and inimitable.
You can hang such a chandelier using screws or chains. In the first case, you will receive a ceiling model, in the second - a suspended one.

Other options

Country style

Another popular option is to assemble a lamp in a country style. For this you will need boards irregular shape. They should be processed using the brushing technique and covered with stain. We install lampshades along the edges of the boards and, in fact, that’s it - the chandelier is ready.

In addition to driftwood and boards, you can use any household items containing wooden elements. For example, excellent option it will be old wooden wheel small size. We process it by analogy with other chandelier options:

first we clean it from dirt;
then process with sandpaper;
apply stain.

After these manipulations inside wheels, we run the wires, securing them with clamps. This will make them invisible. Next, we either make holes for the cartridges, or hang them at a short distance from each other.

Wheel chandelier

To ceiling mount such a lighting fixture, we use a powerful fastening system. This is due to the fact that the lamp will be quite large and weighty. Therefore, it would be best to place the chandelier on chains.
As you can see, almost any wooden object can be used to create a ceiling lighting fixture on your own. It could even be half a wheel, various old wooden lamps, hand carvings from wood, or other crafts. That’s why such lamps are good if you want to move away from ordinary lamps and get something original and unique. In recent years, the handmade style has become very popular. One of its main advantages, along with uniqueness, is the complete environmental friendliness of the manufactured products. And a chandelier made of wood in this case is the best confirmation.
