Home-made Lamp

BB and me decided to get a little hands-on to make our own lamp. Actually its more like a modification of my existing (also self-made) lamp.

To put it simply, I had two bamboo candle holder as the stand, drilled some holes so that I can put in the bulb holder, reused the metal frame from 2 old lamp shades and a few pieces of bamboo sheets. Put them all together with strings and glue.... WALA... 2 nice bedside lamps!!!!



The shades were almost done when we realised we did not take any photos of the process..... :)


We took turns to sew the bamboo sheets together as each shade took slightly more than a piece of the the sheet. The finished product looked like this:


A closer look at the finished shade.....


And this is what is looks like when its lighted! Not bad huh??? :)
