Wall lamp with table

For those who want to generate indirect lighting in their bedrooms or want to have that accent lighting space on the walls, we will present here a DIY idea, really entertaining, very cheap and with good results.

The materials can be recycled, being the same flexible tube lights, wooden planks (veneered wood can be used if desired), small wooden plugs (to give a few centimeters of separation between the wood and the wall) and nail nails. support, to go placing the lights.

The first step will be to define what will be the surface that covers the wood on the wall, in order to place the support nails that will be used to grab the lights. These will be placed about 5 centimeters away from the edge of the wood, that is, delimiting a much smaller rectangle (on the surface) inside it.

Then we’ll position the lights so that they go around the entire perimeter of the smaller rectangle, thus ensuring even lighting everywhere.

Following this we will place the wooden blocks, always inside the small rectangle, as far as possible further inside than the lights, so that they do not cast a shadow outwards.

Then you are ready to place the front planks. It is important to understand that the weight of regular wood is very high and probably not enough with nails and glue alone, so it is better to use plywood, which is much lighter.

Start from the bottom up with the boards, nailing the boards, or fastening them with screws, to the wooden studs.

Finally, the indirect lighting will be finished, ideal for a moment of relaxation in the bedroom.

Recycled chandelier

Here we present a very stylish DIY project. For this we will use some medallions (any pattern) of fine fabric, and a tall glass.

To start you will need a bunch of fabric medallions with a design the same or similar to the ones in the image. If you do it ten by ten, the work will be much lighter, it all depends on the size we want to cover.

In a cup, mix water with a little glue, and mix. Then we proceed to stick the medallions to the glass that we have chosen with a brush. The style can be free, although it is convenient to keep the borders of each medallion in line with the next. Then it is convenient to apply a layer of glue, with a brush, on top of the medallions.

Make sure the cola is dry before lighting the candle inside the glass.
