All about diy and funky lamps for funny interiors

Creative recycling and free time seem to make assonance for mood and timing. In the era of decluttering, family heirlooms and objects of dubious utility often emerge from dusty shelves and remain for too long in that dubious limbo between "throw it or not to throw it" for sentimental value. With a little creativity, bottles, doilies but also hats and even wool or kitchen string can become integral parts of a DIY chandelier. Halfway between an art-attack and an anti waste operation creating DIY lamps with a few tools and necessary elements can be a fun pastime devoted to the practical creation of everyday objects. A perfect way to make productive leisure and home an even more welcoming and 100% personalized place. Here are steps and tips to create beautiful DIY lamps, divided by levels of difficulty and desire to get busy! The method we recommend involves the use of vinyl glue, balloons and a protagonist material of your choice. If creative recycling is not your thing, there's an equally bizarre and unique lamp shopping guide to give an eccentric accent to your living room, waiting for you at the end of the article.
