This might sound a bit funny, but the idea of making this lamp came from my.... dream! :p So, I decided to make my dream come true. This ible will show you how to make lamp shades from small tree logs and branches. You should make these lamp shades right away, why? because-
These lamp shades are too easy to make, cheap too,
They look very beautiful,
You can use them as home decor as well ( without the lamp),
They look great with any kind of lights,
The shades are easily changeable (in case you get bored with the same shade!),
The light effect creates a different atmosphere in the room......that's why!

 I can't decide what kind of light bulb to use, I hope you can help.
Make them now, they're really easy to make.
(If you like this lamp-shade, please do vote for me in the Lamps & Lighting contest, I would really appreciate it)

2) Super glue and white glue,
3) Anti cutter,
4) Scissor,
5) Cardboard or anything easy to bend and form a circular shape,

7) Lighting system.

Hey, I've finished my branch lamp version,, LOL
But the reflection of the lamp light isn't as beautiful as yours
What kind of lamp you used??

This is my version hahhaha

Love the design of the lampshade you made, it's really nice.
The usual round light bulb creates a beautiful light effect with this lampshade. Let me know if it worked, I'm sure your lampshade would create way cooler effect than mines :)

Ahhh...the instructable bug has invaded your dreams ...Hahaaa....been there too :-D as I'm sure that many have...I was even talking instructables to everyone who came till I was finally told to shut up :-D ...Now I try and control my instructable mania...else I'll drive others mad!
This is by far my favorite lampshade from all that you have done...good job!
Muhaiminah Faiz (author) says: Mar 13, 2013. 9:18 PM
Pretty much! thank goodness I'm not the only one. I keep telling my family and friends about instructables, my mom already started calling me crazy! I guess I should stop before my friends tell me to shut up! But still, I'm soooooooo glad I found this website.
Thank you!
