Step 1: Gather Your Materials
To create your hanging lamp, you will need the following materials:
- An Ikea spoon holder (or a similar item with holes that can be used for threading wiring)
- A light fitting with a cable (you can purchase these from most DIY stores)
- An LED light bulb
- A drill with a small drill bit
- A pair of pliers
- A screwdriver
- A bulb holder
Step 2: Prepare the Spoon Holder
The first step is to prepare the spoon holder. Begin by removing any branding or labels from the holder. Next, using your drill, make a hole in the center of the bottom of the spoon holder. This hole will be used for threading the light fitting cable through.
Step 3: Thread the Cable
Take the cable from the light fitting and thread it through the hole you have created in the spoon holder. Then, using your pliers and screwdriver, attach the bulb holder to the end of the cable.
Step 4: Fit the LED Light Bulb
Finally, fit the LED light bulb into the bulb holder and attach the holder to the spoon holder using the screws provided. Your hanging lamp is now ready to be hung and enjoyed!
