How to Make a Floor Lamp:
The electrics in a floor lamp are quite simple. There are two wires that run from the two terminals in the wall outlet up to the socket. In between, there is a switch which turns the power on and off. The real challenge in making a floor lamp isn't putting one together, but designing an attractive body for the lamp. This article covers how to make a basic floor lamp out of easy-to-find materials, but you can turn nearly anything into a lamp
- Buy a lamp kit like the one linked in Resources. It should have a cord, socket, switch and harp. Hardware and home improvement stores often sell lamp kits
- Get a long tube for the body of your floor lamp. PVC pipes and bamboo poles are both cheap, lightweight and easy to work with
- Prepare your tube. Drill a hole near the bottom of the tube for the cord to exit. If you are using bamboo, take a metal pole and heat the end over a burner. Poke it through the sections in the middle to make one continuous tube
- Look at the cord. There will be two wires, one attached to the thick prong of the plug and the other attached to the thin one. Put a piece of tape on the wire attached to the thicker prong
- Thread the cord through from the hole in the side of the bottom so that it comes out the top. Hold it in place with some tape while you thread it through
- Prepare a base. Any thick, flat piece of wood such as the seat of a broken stool will work. Drill a hole the same diameter as the tube in it and glue the tube in
- Hook the cord up to the socket assembly. There will be two metal screws or pegs sticking out of the socket. Wrap the the wire with the tape around the lighter colored one and the other wire around the darker one. Solder both wires into place
- Assemble the socket assembly including the harp, and put in a light bulb. Rest it in the top of the lamp, plug it in and turn it on. If it works, glue it into the top of the lamp with some epoxy
How to Cover a Lamp Shade:
- Cut the old fabric from the lamp shade with scissors
- Place your fabric of choice print-side down. The fabric should be at least 4 feet wide for a large lamp shade
- Lay the lamp-shade frame on its side on the fabric
- Begin an inch in from the bottom corner and roll the lamp shade along, tracing the shape lightly with a pencil or disappearing-ink marker
- Add an inch to the pattern and cut it out carefully. If there are corners, cut a small V to allow the material a little give
- Use fusible webbing and an iron to fasten the fabric to the frame. Do the sides first and the bottom last
- Trim any extra fabric and webbing away
