I have a bunch of lamps in my house that have a small black knob to turn them on. My mom has arthritis in her hands, and when her pain is bad she cannot turn the knob on any of our lamps. So in this instructable I am going to show you how to make a grip on the lamp's knob out of some sugru.
What You Need:
- Sugru (order online here)
-Scissors
-Your fingers
-And the lamp you want to hack (there is enough sugru in one pack to do 2-3 lamps)

So step one is to open up your sugru pack.
Quick Tips:
- your have 30 minutes to apply sugru
- it takes 24 hours to set
- it is like play-doe
- one pack is quite alot of sugru so have 2-3 lamps ready
Get your scissors and cut on the dotted line. Pull out all the sugru making sure there is nothing left in the wrapper. Start kneading it to mix and make it malleable. Roll it in your hands into a ball. (Note: Your hands do get stained with the color of sugru so I would not suggest working on something you want to keep clean).
