Lamps made of plywood: examples and making a chandelier from wood with your own hands

Preparation of a sketch and production of lamp parts

Diagram of a plywood lamp: 1,2,3 - bracket parts.
4,5,6 - details of the lampshade. For a beginner, it is best to choose model options with parts that are easier to implement. You can make an invented item yourself or choose a model you like from any source: a magazine, the Internet, etc. It is advisable to have sketches of each part and instructions for implementation. If instead of a sketch there is only a diagram, you first need to draw each detail in natural size on a sheet and cut it out, then attach them to each other and, if necessary, make adjustments, and only after that transfer the template drawing to a sheet of plywood. If you have minimal experience working with a jigsaw, it is better to choose models without a large number of openwork elements.

After all the parts have been transferred to the plywood, you can start cutting them out. The next stage is processing them with sandpaper, first coarser, then fine, and finally, to ensure the smoothest possible surface, “zero”. After this, each part can be coated with colorless varnish or paint.

It is important to take into account the fact that the surface may “heave” - then you need to go over the painted layer again with sandpaper, and then apply one or two more, depending on the required color intensity, layer of paint or varnish

Now from the middle of the base of the face of the pyramid we raise the resulting length equal to d and from its end we draw the edges to the edges of the base. This is the edge of the pyramid. We need to make four of these. In a similar way, we calculate and cut out the second “pyramid” from plywood with a jigsaw.

Tip: the lantern will look more elegant if the lid is made slightly larger than the bottom and its edges protrude beyond the edges of the “glass” by 2-3 centimeters.

It is more convenient to glue the pyramid if you first place the four sides in a plate of a suitable size so that they take a suitable shape, and simply put the fixing corners at the junctions of the edges of the faces, with the glue previously applied to them.

After the “pyramids” have frozen, we need to glue the bottom to the lantern frame. To do this, it is not necessary to resort to the help of corners or other third-party material. It's fairly easy to apply glue to the edges and press them down. With careful work, the edges should turn out even, and gluing will occur along the entire perimeter. We will not glue the lid - it should turn out to be hinged.

How to make a wall lamp from plywood?

Correct design lies not only in the proper placement of furniture, but also in the correct lighting of the space; this can be helped by making sconces from plywood yourself; such lamps are suitable for any interior and will add a special atmosphere to the room when the overhead lighting is turned off.

There are many options for making wall lamps, which can affect the appearance of the room in different ways:

the use of unnecessary things in addition to wood in the structure, for example, connecting parts of a water pump and a wooden structure;
The original lamp is made from a single piece of wood with wood selected from the inside and colored glass elements.

Wall lamp from sticks Instructions on how to easily make a wall lamp (sconce) from sticks:

you need to take a board and give it the desired shape, attach a hook to it;
we make a lamp from sticks of the same length, assembled in the form of a well;
we assemble an electrical circuit, a socket and an LED lamp, we route the wire through a decorative holder that is attached to a hook, the result is an almost fairy-tale sconce lamp.

Handmade lamp

Why do you need to make a chandelier yourself? Isn't it possible to buy the lamp you need in a store? Firstly, this way the master can create exactly the kind of lighting device that, in his opinion, is ideal for the interior of the room. Why waste time searching for the right model, making compromises and buying one that is at least a little similar to what you need, if you can implement your plans yourself.

Secondly, it's just fun. Handicrafts are often done not for the sake of the result, but for the sake of the process. And if the process gives an excellent result, then this is doubly wonderful.

Finally, when making a lamp from plywood, the master is limited only by his imagination. He can create any fancy shapes, cut out an openwork mesh, or make a lampshade in the shape of a human figure. You can make any lamp: a ceiling chandelier, a floor lamp, a sconce, a night light, a flashlight.

Using an old power supply for a night light

Nowadays, so many mobile phones pass through the hands of each family member that you can easily find a couple of different chargers. You can make an LED night light out of them with your own hands. This circuit will be much better than a capacitor circuit:

Ready-made housing with plug for connection to the network;
galvanic isolation from the network - there will be no high-voltage potential at the capacitor terminals;
stabilized values of output voltage and current.

Underwater rocks

A story from practice: the manufacturer indicates on the charger body an output voltage of 5V and a current of 1A (may differ). When I made a night light for myself, I calculated the resistors for the LEDs for this voltage. The night light practically stopped shining after 2 nights. The LEDs dimmed, and the lampshade of the night light was always warm...

In addition, I initially, by mistake, soldered in resistors with a value slightly less than the required 100 Ohm. I became interested in why the LEDs were degrading and I measured the voltage. The charger gave out as much as 7 and a penny volts. Naturally, the LEDs were fed with twice the rated current.

Moral: do not believe what is written, but check the voltage and current of the LEDs with a multimeter.

Look at the diagram of an LED night light from a mobile charger.

To correctly assemble the circuit, select resistors that match the voltage of your charger and LEDs; learn more about how to select a resistor. But be careful and do not repeat the mistakes of others, an incorrectly set current will kill the LED.

As a result, you can get a similar LED night light. If desired, you can hide the diodes with a diffuser from a broken LED lamp.

More details on how to make a night light from LEDs and a smartphone charger are described in the video.

Many phones come with chargers with a USB connector. You can buy ready-made LED modules in USB flash drive format and get a simple LED night light. True, you will not get pleasure from designing, developing and assembling a custom night light.

A night light is the simplest and most harmless device that you can make with your own hands. On the other hand, its simplicity and lack of requirements for brightness make it possible to turn a simple and ordinary thing into a real work of art.

At the same time, you can implement many ideas, such as iridescent colors on an RGB strip, or turning on a night light when there is a clap or depending on the light level. Look at the LED acoustic switch diagram.

The circuit is quite interesting to build. As a microphone, a microphone from a mobile phone or computer headset is suitable; common Soviet transistors - KT315G reverse conduction, and KT3107B - direct conduction, can be replaced with any analogues.

Resistor R3 sets the operating point of the transistor and, accordingly, the sensitivity of the circuit

Transistor VT2 is the second stage of the amplifier, and capacitor C2 is electrolytic, pay attention to this

Night light of their clothespins

We’ll start with a simple option and make a night light out of wood with our own hands. The great thing about this night light design is that there is almost no need for woodworking tools. We will need:

Wooden clothespins for clothes;
glue;

To assemble the electrical circuit:

Capacitor (we will calculate);
resistors R1 – 1 MOhm, R2 – we will select;
wire cross-section from 0.75 sq. mm;
fork;
LEDs or LED strip.

First you need to disassemble the wooden clothespin; to do this, you need to bend the spring and separate the wooden halves.

From the resulting pieces of wood you need to put together any shape that you like; below you will see different options for such night lights.

All this can be easily connected using a hot glue gun or regular PVA glue.

Depending on your idea, you can make any number of “floors” from these triangles. Here is an example of the implementation of such a night light on a multicolor LED strip.

A tube of suitable diameter was placed in the middle, covered with LED strip. If you don’t want to spend money on an LED strip, power supply, RGB controller, assemble everything yourself. Use a simple and cheap LED night light circuit powered by 220V.

This circuit is called: “LED power supply circuit with a quenching (ballast) capacitor.” Our website has a detailed article on how to calculate a capacitor. The cost of such an assembly is minimal, and often you can find all the necessary components by disassembling several energy-saving lamps.

Resistor R1 is parallel to the capacitor; it has a fairly high resistance and does not affect the operation of the circuit. When the night light is turned off, it discharges the capacitor, protecting you from electric shock. R2 is an optional element; it will help you select the LED current more accurately. I recommend starting its selection from a value of 1 kOhm, measuring the current value of the LEDs and deciding on changing it.

Here is another interesting solution for making a night light using clothespins.

How to make a night light from a jar

One of the materials for creating decor in the house is a tin can. How to make a night light from a jar, read on:

For this you will need:

ordinary tin can;
long nail;
paint (blue, purple, black);
base with lamp.

Algorithm of actions:

Wash the tin thoroughly to remove all excess, including the label.
Using a nail, we make holes on the can and on its sides; you can either scatter them or form a pattern of dots.
We paint the jar, for example, dark blue, because... it is associated with the sky.
We fix the base with the lamp in the jar.
The night light for the nursery is ready.

In complete darkness, such a lamp will look chic.

How to make a chandelier with your own hands from thread tassels and hoops

CBC Life YouTube channel

What do you need

Yarn;
small photo frame;
scissors;
3 sets of wooden hoops of different diameters;
3 identical short and 1 long metal chains;
pliers;
bulb;
lamp pendant.

How to do

1. Wrap the yarn around the photo frame many times and cut. Take a small piece of thread and tie it on top of the yarn so that the ends remain. Cut the threads on one side, where the frame hole is located.

CBC Life YouTube channel

2. Remove the yarn from the frame and fold it in half. Place the knotted thread in the middle so that its ends are at the bottom and the loop is at the top. Details are in the video below. Cut another piece of thread and use it to tie a tassel just below the loop.

CBC Life YouTube channel

3. Make the rest of the tassels in the same way. The quantity depends on the diameter of the hoop. The threads should frame them tightly.

CBC Life YouTube channel

4. Remove the center hoops from all hoops - you won't need them. Open the large hoop and put some of the tassels on them by the loops.

CBC Life YouTube channel

5. Close the large hoop. Place the tassels on the rest in the same way.

CBC Life YouTube channel

6. Make nine pieces of thread. Place the middle hoop into the large one and tie them in three places at the same distance from each other.

8. Turn the design over and straighten the tassels. Tie short chains to a large hoop at equal distances from each other.

CBC Life YouTube channel

9. Use pliers to open the end link of the long chain. Place the attached chains on it and close it.

CBC Life YouTube channel

10. Attach the pendant to the ceiling, screw in the light bulb and thread the lampshade through the bottom. A long chain can be hung, for example, on a hook mounted on the ceiling next to the base of the chandelier.

What other options are there?

There is another way to mount a chandelier. Place a metal ring on the lamp hanger and attach chains tied to the hoop to it. The detailed process is shown in the video below. By the way, the technology for making brushes in it is slightly different. And the author does not use a hoop, but metal hoops.

The tips of the brushes can be painted in a contrasting color:

Or make a gradient chandelier from colored threads, like here:

Using the “gifts of the forests”

Street light

But this is not a troublesome option at all. Make a hole in the trunk of a dead tree in the area and insert a kerosene stove or solar-powered LED lamp inside. Original, simple and sincere! This street lamp is well protected from bad weather and warms the soul on long winter evenings, shining from under the snow cap.

By the way, there is another plus - you don’t have to worry about uprooting the stump.

Just use this lamp with caution

Bark lampshade

Since strong heat can quickly dry out the bark, crack and even ignite - safety comes first. It is preferable to install fluorescent or LED lamps - they heat up significantly less than conventional ones, and they consume significantly more energy.

Or you can simply cut a birch log, drill holes (not through holes - to the size of the base), screw several light bulbs in a row and attach them above the dining area or work table.

Birch lamp

During the New Year holidays, lampshades decorated with pine cones would be appropriate. Provide them with small, barely noticeable LEDs and the lamp will shine, spreading intricate patterns of chiaroscuro on the walls, which will further emphasize the festive atmosphere.

Lampshades with cones

Paint the pine cones with white paint to create a frost effect; you can dust them with salt crystals on top.

Advantages and disadvantages

The undeniable advantages of wooden lamps: • environmentally friendly raw materials, the product is absolutely hypoallergenic; • ease of processing and installation; • presentable colorful design; • high strength. Among the disadvantages: the flammability of the material, the need for certain temperature conditions and humidity parameters, and the possibility of damage by insects.

To avoid the effects of negative factors, the product is coated with a special composition. Impregnated with the necessary substances, the tree is not subject to delamination, ignition, deformation and damage by insects.

Tip: it is better to use LED or energy-saving lamps, as they heat up less during operation.

The best option for a wooden lamp in the interior is a living room or bedroom. In rooms with high humidity (kitchen or bathroom), it is still better to use appliances made of other materials. Wooden products in a damp room require more careful care, but still lose their former luster over time. When exposed to moisture, the material may shrink or swell.

Outdoor materials

The choice depends on the owners, since different materials can be used for street lamps, the main thing is that they are not afraid of water. Popular plastic falls into this category, but it has one big drawback - fragility. For this reason, it is not the best solution, since sooner or later such a flashlight will definitely break.

Metal is the ideal material

The best option is to make a street lamp from metal. And here there are three worthy candidates: bronze, brass, copper. However, the first alloy will constantly darken, so the owners will have to sacrifice time cleaning the lantern. Copper will oxidize over time, and such a lamp will acquire an unsightly greenish tint.

Candidate materials at hand

It is not always possible (and passionate desire) to make something designed to last forever. For example, in summer cottages it is more logical to build a structure from a simple material that does not require serious processing. Therefore, the owners, whose “bins” are full of all sorts of goods that are a pity to throw away, make street lamps from any raw material. Suitable for this:

jars: tin or glass;
clay;
wood (for example, twigs, wood chips);
cardboard boxes (requiring good moisture protection);
plastic containers;
old dishes;
building materials;
PVC pipes.

Such street lamps have a great advantage: they almost always attract attention, as they turn out to be unusual and original. Another plus is the ease of their manufacture, because their creation does not require a welding machine or a lot of time

Yes, there is a minus - it is fragility, but to replace the old product, you can easily and quickly build a new one, but already having a completely different - “fresh” - look.

DIY wooden masterpieces

To assemble a wooden chandelier with your own hands, experience with wood will not be enough. You will also need basic electrical knowledge. You can take a ready-made wooden model as a basis or develop your own original design.

Depending on your skills in handling metal, choose an exclusively wooden lamp or a lighting device supplemented with metal elements. The photo gallery will once again demonstrate the possible options for making a wooden chandelier with your own hands.

Wooden chandeliers are a stylish interior element that is suitable not only for rustic design trends with a national flavor, but also for modern room design ideas. Country and chalet, Scandinavian and eco style, modern and loft - for each style you can choose a successful model of a wooden lamp.

Choosing a lamp for a homemade chandelier

To make a chandelier made by you from scrap materials look even more attractive, you need to choose the right light bulbs for it. The following recommendations will help you:

Choose a lamp of suitable power. Remember that overly powerful products can cause a fire. Look at the number of lumens. The larger it is, the more natural the lighting. Consider whether the shape of the light bulb matches your device. Some chandelier models require bulbs of a strictly defined shape. Only then will they work efficiently and correctly reflect light rays. Be sure to look at the expiration date. If you plan to use the lamp frequently, then take a closer look at the lamps with the longest life expectancy. Ask what kind of light the lamp will glow - cold or warm. For your home, it is better to purchase an option with a warm shade of light.

This will make the atmosphere seem more comfortable. Don't ignore the energy consumption of a light bulb. Products with low energy consumption are considered the best choice. Check for the presence of mercury in the lamp - this determines how it is disposed of

Products containing mercury cannot simply be thrown into the trash. They must be handed over to special collection points.

What lamps to use

Conventional incandescent lamps get very hot and are therefore not suitable for installation in wooden chandeliers, the same applies to halogen lamps. Instead, it is better to use LED, fluorescent light sources.

How to choose a tree

Almost any available species is suitable as a material for making a wooden chandelier. The main condition is that the material is dry

Pay attention to signs of rot, mold and signs of vermin.

Let us describe the properties of the most commonly used rocks:

Pine blanks lend themselves well to processing. The tree circles are separated by resin, so it is not used for making small parts.
Cedar is famous for its beautiful pink base. The wood has a high density, so it can be used to make small jewelry.
Hardwoods are stronger than pine and do not rot.
Oak has a high density, but splits easily. It's difficult to process. It should not be used as a material for a lamp by novice craftsmen.

Safety precautions

Basic safety precautions are required for all types of physical work.

The workplace must be properly prepared. It should not be cluttered with unnecessary objects or tools.
The work table or workbench must be well secured and set to the individually required height.
The workplace should be well lit.
When working, you should use personal protective equipment, such as gloves, safety glasses, etc.
When using a power tool, make sure it is in good working order. For beginners, study the technical documentation of the tool they use.

Wood carving with a jigsaw is rapidly gaining popularity: many people want to purchase an interesting decorative item to decorate their home, furniture, and even clothes! Carved objects made of plywood of various thicknesses fit organically into any interior style; people often purchase photo frames for photographs with ornaments, cut-out words and letters, or order intricate shelves and other interesting products. Few people know that artistic cutting out of plywood with a jigsaw is a task accessible to anyone, even the untrained and inexperienced. You just need to understand how to work with the tool.

Manufacturing stages

First of all, you need to decide on the type and size of the product. You can think about the project yourself, you can use a ready-made one, or you can spy on an idea and take it as a basis, finishing and improving it. The step-by-step manufacturing steps are as follows:

Templates of parts are drawn on a sheet of cardboard. They are made to full scale and cut out with a utility knife or scissors.
Cardboard mock-ups of parts are placed on a sheet of plywood and outlined with a pencil. It is necessary to place them so as to use the material as economically as possible. If the patterns are large, then they can be fixed to the sheet with tape so that they do not move.
Using a jigsaw, cut out parts from plywood along the contour. For ease of use, the sheet can be secured with clamps on the edge of the table. Small parts are cut out by hand. If you need to make holes in the middle, then first drill a hole large enough for the edge of the jigsaw to fit in, and then cut out the pattern.
After the parts are cut, they are sanded with sandpaper until the surface is smooth. First you need to use coarse-grained paper, and finally sand with fine-grained paper.
When all the elements are prepared, they are fastened together according to the project. You will need glue here.
The finished product is varnished.
A socket is installed inside the lampshade, connected to the electrical wire and the lamp is screwed in.

That's it, the lamp is ready! Since this is painstaking work and requires great precision and perseverance, you can first practice on small floor lamps, and only then start making ceiling chandeliers.

Plywood lamps can be an excellent interior decoration. If you gradually improve your skills and move from simple lampshades to more complex openwork lamps, you can hang them not only at home, but also delight your friends with an original element of interior decoration.

Important nuances of working with plywood

Plywood is a convenient material for carpentry, but certain rules must be followed. In particular, a special approach is needed when cutting sheets. To avoid defects, make an even cut with a jigsaw or circular saw, apply a ruler to the drawn line and follow the mark with a stationery knife. Another option is to place sticky tape on both sides of the pencil line.

The cutting technique is affected by the thickness of the plywood. When cutting, you must hold the saw so that the blade protrudes 5 mm beyond the sheet. That is, with a plate thickness of 15 mm, the immersion depth of the cutting tool is 20 mm. In this case, the sheet should lie face down on the support. The direction of the cut depends on the device used. A jigsaw allows you to cut material straight and curved. Use a circular saw to cut in a straight direction.

Independent production of curved glued forms also requires compliance with some nuances. The rounded product is tightened with rigging straps for 3–4 days until the shape is fixed. Pre-steaming the plywood sheets makes bending easier.

Due to the large number of advantages, this type of raw material is included in the group of popular modern materials. Making your own pieces of furniture from plywood is not difficult if the class and thickness of the slabs are selected correctly, the drawing is correctly executed, and all technological stages of assembly are followed. Finished interior items are practically not inferior in appearance and performance to their analogues made from natural wood.

DIY driftwood lamp

Any snag in the forest has its own unique curve, created by nature itself, which you must try not to disturb during processing. First you need to clean the driftwood from bark and damaged wood, then dry it. After this, sand the wooden surface with sandpaper. Then it was time to select components and select lamps. Since wood is a flammable material, you should decide in favor of LED and energy-saving ones, they will not heat up.

After this, you should drill holes for the wires with a long and thin drill. After laying the wires, the holes are filled with putty matched to the color of the wood. Or you can use a narrow-bladed chisel to make grooves for the wires in the wood from the ceiling side. All wooden parts are varnished several times. Cartridges with lamps and shades are attached to the ends of the driftwood.

Operating procedure

To obtain a high-quality product and minimize the formation of defects, you need to do the work slowly and focus on the process. Before starting work, it is recommended to make sure that the thickness of the plywood is equal to the height of the groove on the printed sketch.

Preparing the stencil

Schemes for sawing with a tool can be of different sizes. To create a drawing of an interior item, for example a shelf, you will need to use whatman paper in A1 or A0 format, and for toys you can use a standard sheet of cardboard.

The contour of the product is applied to the surface in compliance with the exact dimensions. Templates for cutting with a hand jigsaw can be found on special resources. But it’s easier to come up with your own compositions based on the type of workpiece. An individual approach to developing a product design will highlight the texture of the wood.

Transferring an image to the surface of plywood or boards

To accurately apply a contour to the surface of plywood or wood, print the template on thick paper. Transferring a drawing from an A4 drawing can cause a lot of trouble if you draw the ornament with a pencil.

The drawing can be glued to the plywood with 2-sided tape. When using glue, you need to clean the surface with sandpaper. An accessible method involves using a stencil made using nail scissors. After preparation, the template is applied to the surface and each fragment is outlined with a pencil.

For convenience, the sheet is secured with tape or insulating tape. The design can be applied thermally. For this, an inkjet printer is used, with which the diagram is printed. After this, the design is applied to the surface with the front side and processed with a heated iron.

Sawing process technology

Sawing from plywood is carried out after applying the drawing to the workpiece. Processing begins with the internal elements of the product, and then the outer contour is cut out. This order of work allows you to get a straight line and provides convenient fastening of the workpiece.

Holes for the blade must be drilled in sharp places on the internal contour. This requires attention as chips may form on the back side. To avoid this, it is recommended not to make the holes completely.

You can limit the depth using insulating tape that is wrapped around the drill. After this, turn the workpiece over and process the hole with an awl. After finishing the work, the product is polished using a file or needle file.

Sawing with hand tools requires the equipment of a special machine with a clamp. This device is used as a base. During processing, the workpiece is fixed at chest level, which provides convenience and allows you to closely monitor the process.

For beginners, it is important to be careful when using a jigsaw in order to practice smooth movements. The cutting blade for a jigsaw is fragile, so it is recommended to avoid distortions, sudden movements, and overheating

When processing a workpiece, the movements must be reciprocating, and the tool must be positioned vertically. Using an electric jigsaw requires securing the workpiece to a workbench. When using this equipment, workpieces up to 5 cm thick can be processed.

Defects in work

If the workpiece processing technology is violated, the tool may shift. A jigsaw may cut crookedly if the tool is tilted or improperly fastened. If the blade gets stuck at the stage of forming the figured elements, then you will need to carefully draw a new line located parallel to the fragment with the defect.

Openwork decoration

For those who want to update their interior and replace old things with something more original, it is not easy to decide where to start, and there is not always enough money for repairs and renovations. Therefore, you can make some elements for decorating your apartment yourself. In this master class we will learn how to make a beautiful openwork chandelier from plywood yourself. Before you start work, first of all you need to select a lampshade model and find drawings.

What we need for this:

main material – plywood;
beautiful fabric or lace;
glue, it is better to use PVA.

We take plywood and draw identical circles on it, after which we cut everything out. We make sure everything is one to one. Next we need to fold them into hexagons, inside of which we cut out round holes. Now we move on to the fabric from which we need to cut circles; the diameter is greater than in plywood. All that remains is to decorate our lampshade with fabric.

To do this, we stretch the fabric and glue it to the round parts. But we should leave two untouched in order to insert the socket and lamp, and we also need an outlet for hot air. You need to use a file to make such entries in order to fold these hexagons one into one. This is how we fold our chandelier.

Let's look at the main photo of how it should look:

Cutting out a table lamp with a jigsaw

There are many rules for cutting, but you need to rely on the most common ones. First you should cut out the internal elements and then start cutting out the outline. There is no need to rush when cutting. The main thing is to always keep the jigsaw straight at a 90-degree angle when cutting. Saw out the parts along precisely marked lines. The movements of the jigsaw should always be smooth up and down. Also, do not forget to monitor your posture. Try to avoid bevels and unevenness. If you go off the line while cutting, don't worry. Such bevels and irregularities can later be removed using a flat file or “coarse-grained” sandpaper.

Rest

When sawing, we often get tired. Fingers and eyes, which are always tense, often get tired. When working, of course, everyone gets tired. In order to reduce the load, you need to do a couple of exercises. You can view the exercises here. Do the exercises several times during work.
