How to make a lamp from cocktail tubes?

Agree that creativity is always an exciting process. But besides, creativity can bring not only pleasure, but also benefit. For example, you can transform old and almost unnecessary things, turning them into something surprisingly beautiful.
For example, from old cocktail tubes, you can make an amazing table lamp that will decorate your interior and will be used as a full-fledged lamp.

What is needed for this?

Little. We need to prepare plastic tubes, an old lamp, glue, some wooden sticks, some fabric.

Step one. We make the basis.

Before we make the basis, we measure our lamp, which we will put in the basis. Our lamp is deeply Soviet, old, but solid.
Having taken her measurement, we must make the next wooden frame.
In general, the frame can be made of any material, we used wood for this. Also, any can be a shape, but we preferred the shape of a simple rectangle.

Step Two Cooking tubes.

Take a package of cocktail tubes.
We get the tubes and fasten them. We get one long tube, consisting of two. Tubules choose mainly yellow. This is necessary so that they better transmit light. You can also use various decorations, for example, attach red inserts to the yellow tubes.

Step Three Glue the tubes.

Then we take the glue gun and begin the sequential procedure: glue the tubes on a wooden frame. As a result, we should get the following.
The tubes are glued on one side, now it is necessary to continue gluing on the other sides. If the tubes are not enough, then one side can be covered with a yellow cloth.
As a result, on the one hand we have tubes, and on the opposite side - tissue. But the remaining sides are also filled with tubes.
In the end, we should get such a lamp.
You can put it on the table, turn on the electricity and use!
