Making your own light fixtures would be a bit unusual since everyone else is just buying their lamps from the store. But that doesn’t mean you should be discouraged. Think of how much more interesting your light fixtures would be if you actually craft them yourself. Obviously you shouldn’t get carried away. Stick with the small things like a table lamp, a candle holder or a sconce. Some things are just too complex and difficult to even try at home.

Today we’ll look at projects that use concrete. We’ll start with an outdoor light fixture that’s not just functional but also good-looking. The hardest part about the project is actually making the mold. You can make it out of scrap plywood for example. The simpler your design is the easier it will be to get it out of the mold. Adding the wiring is not very simple either but still easy enough so anyone can do it. You can use styrofoam for this part. When you’re done with the mold and wires, pour the concrete mix in and move it around to make sure it gets in the corners. Let the concrete dry and then remove the mold. Sand the edges and add the lightbulb.{found oninstructables}.

Let’s now move on to things you can use inside the house, such as the lamp featured oninstructables。As usual, you’ll need to build a mold. Plywood would be a good option for this part but, of course, you can improvise with cardboard. The mold will be made of five pieces. Run the cord through and then pour the concrete mix in. let it dry, remove the mold and sand the edges. You can also paint the new pendant lamp.

Concrete lampshades are a bit too heavy to also be practical so a much better option would be to make a concrete base for your lamp. It’s pretty easy actually. You’ll need concrete mix, water, a cardboard box or anything similar you can use as a mold, copper piping, a light bulb, a lamp kit, adhesive bumpers and the necessary tools: a pipe cutter, a drill and a glue gun. You’ll find the instructions onbrit。

Another very chic and cute-looking lamp with a DIY concrete base is featured oninstructables。The project starts with a wooden board which is cut into five pieces. The pieces are assembled to make a mold. Then the wire and socket are added through a hole in the mold. The concrete is then poured into the mold and allowed to dry. From here it’s all really simple. Remove the mold and add the finishing touches.

如您所见，构建台灯非常容易。混凝土底座真的很容易制造，并且对于其余的灯，您可以使用铜管。您会找到有关此类项目的详细教程look-what-i-made。The materials required include quick cement, a copper tube, a 45 degree copper tube connector, a cable with a plug, a lamp kit, a box, a drill and a screwdriver. There’s lots of room for customization.

Concrete can also be used to make some interesting-looking candle holders. For that you’ll need to have a look at the project featured ondiyfunideas。要制作类似的东西，您需要空纸巾卷，纸板，混凝土混合物和水，油，茶几蜡烛和胶枪。将纸巾卷切成所需的长度，然后将它们全部放在一块平板上。然后将混凝土倒入卷中，然后将其固定。干燥后，取下纸板，将茶蜡蜡烛放在顶部。
