Introduction: How to Make Ikea Floor Lamp DIY
Good day!
I saw in the store IKEA floor lamp YPPERLIG. I liked this lamp. So I decided to make something like that with my own hands
Step 1: Step 1
I went to the hardware store and buy following:
· Two drain plugs with a diameter of 160 and 200 mm.
· Aluminum pipe with a diameter of 14 mm and a length of 2 m.
· Led lamp.
· Wire, plug and switch.
· Construction gypsum.
· PVA glue.
· Paint.
Step 2: 2 Step.
Let's make a stand of our lamp. To do this, take the aluminum tube and begin to bend it on both sides. The top should be a little longer than the bottom.
Step 3: 3 Step.
Paint our stand in red
Step 4: 4 Step.
Need to seal the seams of the led lamp and extend the wire
Step 5: 5 Step.
Install the lamp in the center of the plug. fix the lamp support vertically and fill with construction gypsum
Step 6: 6 Step.
Wait until the plaster hardens. Clean the lamp.
Step 7: 7 Step.
Next you need to make the base of our lamp. The procedure is almost identical to the manufacture of the canopy. But there are a couple of differences. Take the housing from the led lamp driver and seal it.
Step 8: 8 Step.
Stretch the wire into the driver housing. Gloss over it all with sealant. Arrange inside a large plug and fill with plaster.
Step 9: 9 Step.
Wait until the plaster hardens. Remove it from the form
Step 10: 10 Step.
Take out the wire and solder it to the LED driver. Insulate the wires with hot glue.
Step 11: 11 Step
Fasten 4 rubber feet and the lamp is ready!
Step 12:
The lamp fitted perfectly into my interior. I really liked the texture of the plaster. Also, The lamp was much cheaper than the original. :)
It is convenient to work at the computer, read books.
Hope you enjoyed my DIY project. Thanks for watching!
