How To Make a Homemade Wall Lamp

Lamps lend a certain ambiance to any room. If there are unusual or homemade lamps, it creates a unique and sometimes rustic look to the room. Homemade wall lamps are quite beautiful no matter what they are made of. A wall lamp made with a mason jar creates a very unusual lamp and can be customized or decorated to fit any room decor or individual tastes.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Quart canning jar-regular mouth
• Button, bows, thread, seashells or sand
• Hurricane lamp jar adapter
• Light bulb
• Hurricane lamp shade
• Wall bracket

Instructions

1. 
    
   Old Mason jar.

   Clean and polish a quart canning jar. The old green canning jars work great, but the new clear ones work just as well.

2. 
    
   Hurricane lamp shade.

   Fill the jar with any object that is preferable. This can be buttons, bows, potpourri, seashells or colored sand.

3. 
    
   Lamp adapter.

   Attach the hurricane lamp adapter to the top of the jar. The adapter has a jar lid as a base and will screw right onto the jar. Attach the bulb and then the hurricane lamp shade onto the adapter.

4. 
    
   Wall bracket.

   Attach the wall bracket to the wall in the desired position. Set the jar lamp in the saucer of the bracket. Plug the lamp into the wall.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a different adapter, and fill it with oil for an actual hurricane lamp.
