Video Tutorial: How to Make a Tripod Table Lamp

August 26, 2013 4 Comments

 

This project is deceptively simple. Using a vintage drum snare stand from eBay, I made this cute extendable tripod table lamp using a bottle lamp converter kit. The video is 10 minutes long and it wouldn't take too much longer than that for anyone playing at home. I just love those bottle lamp converter kits!

 

 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED FOR THE LAMP 

• Upcycled Tripod - Get creative here! You can use an old music stand, camera tripods - anything with 3 legs and a bit of character.
• Bottle Lamp Kit
• Screwdriver

ABOUT THE LAMPSHADE

In this video tutorial, I used a Lamp Shade Bulb Clip Adapter to install the lampshade, since the kit does not include a harp and my type of lampshade did require one. Do you like the lampshade I used? Read our tutorial on how to make an Ombre Silk T-Shirt Lampshade.
