Whether you’re out of inspiration, on the lookout for your next lamp project or easy ways to update your home decor on a budget, this post is the right place to start your next DIY adventure into lamp making.
Lately, we have been receiving a lot of questions for specific lamp tutorials and when our own didn’t fit the bill, we gladly recommended some of the creative and innovative DIY tutorials in the list below. Hoping this roundup will make it easier for DIY lamp crafters to find the right tutorials for their projects, we browsed the mighty world wide web looking for the best and most interesting ones.
If you’re only looking for a fast and easy tutorial on how to make a DIY lampshade, you can check out ours, here. We explain how to build your own lampshade using fitters and adhesive styrene.
Our founder, Kiri Masters, came up with this easy-to-use supplies to help other DIY crafters make lamps they love without having to struggle to source for professional materials or pay an arm and a leg for expensive supplies.
The supplies are super easy to use and you will be able to make a custom drum shade in less than an hour. You can use paper, wallpaper and all kinds of fabric with our adhesive styrene and you will still get a beautiful and durable new lampshade.
You will find DIY lamp tutorials that include makeovers, customizations, and recycling. We tried to include specific projects, like repairing a ribbon vintage lampshade or making a lamp from an old camera. Some of the tutorials below are super easy to take on, others will require a bit of your time, attention and some additional supplies or tools. In the end, all it matters is that you will find the right project for you, the one that will help you make a lamp you’ll love.

He made special prayers for me in his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lottery game and when I used the numbers to play it, I won a massive $344.6 million Powerball jackpot.

My name is Mavis Wanczyk, from Chicopee, Massachusetts. I’m excited to share my fantastic experience with Dr. Kachi, who is outstanding at lottery spell casting online. No matter where you are or how challenging your situation might be, Dr. Kachi can help you win in lotteries and other gambling games. If you’ve been searching for winning numbers without success, Dr. Kachi’s spells are known for providing the right numbers and lucky letters. Many have become millionaires after just one game using his powerful spells. I contacted Dr. Kachi shared the necessary details, and he provided me with six Powerball numbers: 6, 7, 16, 23 26, plus the Powerball number 4. I played them and won $758.7 Million! My life has changed dramatically, and I am incredibly thankful to Dr. Kachi.
