How to Make Ikea Floor Lamp DIY
Good day! I saw in the store IKEA floor lamp YPPERLIG. I liked the lamp, I thought that this can be done on their own.
And went to the hardware store, bought the 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.
1 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.
2 step.
Paint our stand in red
3 step.
Need to seal the seams of the led lamp and extend the wire
4 step.
Install the lamp in the center of the plug. fix the lamp support vertically and fill with construction gypsum
5 step.
Wait until the plaster hardens. Clean the lamp.
6 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.
7 step.
Stretch the wire into the driver housing. Gloss over it all with sealant. Arrange inside a large plug and fill with plaster.
8 step.
Wait until the plaster hardens. Remove it from the form
9 step.
Take out the wire and solder it to the LED driver. Insulate the wires with hot glue.
10 step
Fasten 4 rubber feet and the lamp is ready!
The lamp fitted perfectly into my interior. I really liked the texture of the plaster. Also, The lamp was much cheaper than the original. :)
