Introduction
Are you looking to add some bohemian style to your home decor? Do you want to create a unique and personalized lamp that reflects your creativity and style? In this article, we will guide you through the process of making a boho lamp from scratch. With simple supplies and a few easy steps, you can have a stunning and one-of-a-kind piece that will add a touch of bohemian charm to your space.
Supplies
Before we start, make sure you have the following supplies:
- Large glass jar
- Wire lampshade frame
- Wire cutters
- String lights with a plug and switch
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Assorted beads, shells, feathers, and other boho-inspired decorations
- Ribbon or lace (optional)
Step 1: Prep the Jar
Start by cleaning the glass jar and removing any stickers or labels. Use hot glue to attach the plug and switch to the bottom of the jar. Make sure it is securely attached so that it can support the weight of the wire frame and lights.
Step 2: Attach the Wire Frame
Using wire cutters, cut off any excess wire from the lampshade frame so that it fits snugly over the mouth of the glass jar. Secure the frame to the jar with hot glue, making sure it is evenly centered.
Step 3: Add the Lights
Wrap the string lights around the wire frame, starting at the top and working your way down. Use hot glue to secure the lights in place, making sure they are evenly spaced and not tangled. Leave the plug and switch accessible at the bottom of the jar.
Step 4: Decorate the Lamp
This is where your creativity comes in! Use hot glue to attach beads, shells, feathers, and other boho-inspired decorations to the wire frame and jar. You can also add ribbon or lace for extra texture and flair. Make sure to spread out the decorations evenly and vary their placement to create an eye-catching and unique design.
Step 5: Plug It In and Enjoy!
Once all the decorations are attached securely, plug in your new boho lamp and enjoy the warm and cozy ambiance it creates!
