Do you want to change the decoration of your home, but you don’t know where to start? Learn how to make your own lamp with the rings from the cans.
The piece serves to brighten up any corner and give your home a new, more durable look, not to mention the merit of being made by you.
Instructions.
The idea came from American designer Sean Michael Ragan, who started recycling with the rings of aluminum cans.
We will need a light base, some tin rings and some wire cutters. First, try to clean all the rings to be used with detergent and let them dry.
With the rings clean, start by folding one by one in half so that they can be hung on one of the bases of the fixture. It is recommended to start from the top.
Make the following rows with the rings unfolded, but you will need a cut from one side of the gasket to be interchangeably mounted to the one they are already attached to.
Repeat the process until the entire base is covered by the rings.
Then use a piece of wire to close the bar inside.
For those who want to make a colorful lamp, you can choose the rings from different boxes.
Choose your colors and enjoy! Of course, do not use a bulb that is too powerful, as the heat absorbed by the aluminum can accidentally burn.
Here you have a video of the process in case that would be more comfortable for you:
