Если посмотреть на привычные вещи под другим corner, they will reveal their hidden potential to you. And suddenly it turns out that tin cans, which we consider trash, can be used in unexpected ways. The culture of learning useful household skills, or DIY (do it yourself), has become one of the most popular trends in modern interior design. The desire to create furniture, interior accessories and decor with their own hands has swept over millions of people, both amateurs and professionals in the design business. Today we have prepared another master class for our readers, which will not leave lovers of handicrafts indifferent. Everyone knows that the best DIY projects are those that do not require large financial and time costs. We offer you exactly this: turning ordinary tin cans that you were going to throw away into an original table lamp!
Materials and tools:
- two large tin cans;
- spray paint for metal;
- metal glue;
- lamp filling (bulb, cord with plug and socket);
- awl;
- drill;
- a hammer.
Using an awl and hammer, make many small holes in the surfaces of the cans. Only the bottom of one of them should be left untouched - the one that will serve as the bottom of the structure.
Using a drill, drill a hole for the cartridge as close to the base of the can as possible without damaging the bottom.
Now it's time to repaint the cans in your favorite color. If they had a manufacturer's design on them, you'll probably need to apply at least three coats of paint.
When the paint is dry, insert the "filling" for the lamp into the bottom can. The main thing here is to choose the right size of the bulb so that you can screw it in from the inside.
Now all that's left is to glue the two cans together. Just apply glue to the rim of the bottom can as shown in the photo. Then turn the second can upside down and press the rim onto the glue layer.
The original tin can lamp is ready! You can put it on a nightstand or bedside table and enjoy the charming light pattern it will decorate your walls with.
