Chandelier from a metal-plastic pipe. Do-it-yourself lamp made of pvc pipes. Main stages of work

For a true jack of all trades, the remains of building material are a real treasure. From a pile of rubbish, he is able to create masterpieces suitable for interior decoration and useful for everyday use. Remains of plastic, plumbing fittings, plugs, metal fasteners are enough to create a beautiful and functional pipe lamp that can be hung on the wall or used instead of a table lamp.

If a ready product seems unpretentious to you, you can complicate its design by adding metal parts - pipes, bolts, nuts, legs from fittings

Self-assembly of lamps from pipes

Build a product from pipeline segments, metal and plastic parts maybe even people who do not know the basics of plumbing, and it will not be difficult for specialists involved in laying communications on a daily basis to come up with their own, unique, interesting options. The suggested instructions are just examples of how quickly and easily unnecessary materials can be turned into useful things.

A plumber's dream - a lamp from a water pipe

For the device of household communications, polypropylene is increasingly being used - a durable, flexible, reliable material that does not give in to rust, which has been performing its functions for decades. Systems are mounted instead of obsolete ones metal pipes wires, which are dismantled and thrown into a landfill. Let's take a few used iron parts and make them into a concise, convenient lighting fixture.

We will need:

  • 1 pipe of arbitrary length;
  • 2 flanges for stands;
  • cross as a connecting element;
  • 2 knees;
  • electrical cord with switch;
  • lamp (energy-saving or LED);
  • cartridge, clutch for fixing.

If the base diameter is 20 mm, respectively, the rest of the parts have the same cross section.

Strictly technical, rough lamps and cozy home floor lamps - all made from ordinary water pipes

The assembly process is simple. We connect the knees and flanges with the cross - the stand is ready. We insert the pipe from above, then fasten the coupling. We pass the wires, be sure to make insulation, since the metal conducts current, we screw in the light bulb. A few simple manipulations - and original lamp from water pipes ready!

In order to give the old details an aesthetically attractive look, we clean all the elements with fine sandpaper, cover with paint for metal.

Wall lamp made of flexible metal-plastic

For wall variant we need a more dynamic tubular LED lamp that can be directed in different directions, and here metal-plastic products will come in handy. Unlike plastic parts, they are durable, have elasticity, in other words, they bend.

The ability to bend and take on various shapes will help make the lamp unique

The base, which is mounted on the wall, for convenience, is best made from a piece of wood - solid pine, birch blanks, a fragment of thick plywood. We drill a hole in it for a flexible element. From a small bar we grind the body for the cartridge, given that a movable fragment will be attached on the other side.

Ready Wall Light from pipes - a great backlight for paintings or photographs

All that's left is to assemble. We insert into a metal-plastic blank (from 20 to 50 cm long) electrical wire, previously threaded through the base, we fix the cartridge and produce insulation. We fix the base on the wall, screw the LED element and enjoy the effect. It remains to be added that the flexible tube for the lamp can be turned in any direction, and if desired, even tied in a knot, if the length allows.

The cost of metal-plastic products of medium diameter is low - from 60 to 100 rubles per linear meter

Three-arm horizontal illumination

A convenient lamp made of several movable copper tubes on a metal base can create full-fledged lighting for a small room or a backlight for paintings, photographs, collages or shelves with souvenirs.

To work, you will need pieces of metal pipes of the same diameter, copper bending tubes for making horns, several tees (according to the number of horns), a half-flange (for fixing the lamp on a wall or ceiling), plugs, electrical wire and fasteners. You will also need lamps - it is better to take LED ones that do not heat the surrounding parts and the illuminated surface.

The tool needed for assembly is in every home:

  • jigsaw or hacksaw for metal;
  • pliers;
  • screwdriver;
  • drill and thin drills;
  • insulating material;
  • paint on metal, brush.

First you need to prepare copper tubes, then unscrew the base and finally assemble everything into a single structure. We make horns for lamps from copper blanks 30-40 cm long. To do this, they need to be gently bent so that they take the form of a smooth arc. Beware of creases, as the corners on the tubes will ruin appearance structures and will prevent the threading of the electrical wire. We twist on the ends compression fittings, we pass the wires, fix and isolate the cartridges.

We clean the metal pieces, paint, after drying we twist a long pole out of them. We attach copper horns to it at regular intervals, not forgetting about a secure connection. electrical wires. We fix a do-it-yourself lamp made of pipes on a wall or ceiling so that the rays illuminate the desired area, screw in the bulbs and check. The design in a trendy industrial style is ready.

Plastic Tube LED Night Light

Plastic is easy to process, so there are plenty of opportunities for decorating ceiling lamps and lampshades made from this malleable material. Openwork lamps made of plastic and polypropylene pipes set on the floor, on the table, used as a table lamp, night light.

Beautiful designer lamp made of plastic elements and multi-colored light bulbs

We stock up on plastic blanks, get to work. The best way- products with a diameter of at least 15 cm, so that the walls of the finished lampshade do not come into contact with the lamp, even if it is LED. From the tools you will need a drill with various nozzles, drills, a clerical knife, a construction hair dryer.

Operating procedure:

  • We are preparing the base - a heavy stand with a fixed cartridge, we are supplying an electrical wire. Suitable wooden block or multi-part construction.
  • From a thick pvc pipe we cut out a segment 20-30 cm in height, we process the edges - this is the future lampshade.
  • We apply an image on a plastic surface using a stencil - an ornament, a drawing, a pattern.
  • Using a drill, knife, scalpel, we cut out the extra parts, making cuts, cuts, through holes. We leave some parts translucent, reducing the thickness of the material. We heat with a hairdryer to bend or deform the necessary elements.
  • We install the lampshade on the base, turn on the lamp.

White, not suitable for a bedroom or living room, the color of the plastic can be changed to a brighter shade by painting the surface of the lampshade with special acrylic paints. Finished lamps made of PVC pipes look just magical.

To connect the elements we use threads, bolts and nuts

Taking a cue from designers

The use of old unnecessary things to create unique interior items has long been of interest to designers, engineers, and self-taught craftsmen. metal and plastic pipes turned out to be a convenient material for creating various lamps, chandeliers, table lamps, floor lamps, sconces. Some of them look modern, suitable for decorating high-tech offices and rooms, while others, elegant and stylish, are appropriate for a modern interior.

Elaborately carved flowers and butterflies transform a plastic pipe into an amazing decoration.

It is curious that the magnificent designer things that cost a lot of money are assembled from the most ordinary building materials, which means that each of you, if desired, can create your own unique masterpiece, which is not inferior to well-known analogues either in appearance or in functionality.

Making very beautiful pipe lamps


Do-it-yourself volumetric lamps amaze our imagination with a magical play of light and shadow. But no less surprising is that these strikingly beautiful lamps are made from an unexpected, simple and very affordable material for everyone.

The use of PVC pipes as the basis for a lamp provides wide and unusual manufacturing opportunities. You can cut through the pipe, you can make partial shadows by simply removing the thickness of the pipe, you can make three-dimensional compositions by carefully bending parts of the pipe.

As the author of these lamps Ademar Rocha says, to make a lamp, you need a hand drill with a set of various nozzles, and a building hair dryer, which allows you to give the cut parts of the pipe the desired curved shape.

Drill nozzles allow you to process the edges of the volumetric parts of the lamp, make texture and surface cuts on the pipe, which will create the necessary halftones in the intended light composition. All this will give the lamp a neat finished look.

Of course, our lamp needs a fairly heavy stand, which will give stability to the vertical structure.
For fire safety, it is better to use an energy-saving light bulb that heats up minimally.

LEDs can also be used as a lamp in such a lamp. These are not only safer, but also give more options for color illumination.
Because LEDs allow you to change the color of illumination, then your lamp can delight you with green, red and golden colors. In addition, LEDs practically do not heat up.

Such a lamp, carefully made with your own hands from an ordinary pipe, will be an unexpected gift for Valentine's Day. And such a musical lamp will be appreciated by a music fan. Such a lamp can be made from overlays of two pipes of different diameters.

The surface of the lamp can be painted, and then, when turned off, it will fit better into the interior of your room.
For the lamp, pipes of various diameters can be used. For example, this chandelier shade is made using a dot-cut method from a wide pvc pipe.

Not only volumetric lamps are beautiful, by drawing the desired pattern on the pipe, and making dots on the pipe along its contour, you will get an easy-to-use, but wonderful result. beautiful lamp. Use not only through, but also translucent holes, so your lamp will be more interesting.

We often come across articles that describe how you can create unusual, but at the same time useful things for your house or apartment from unnecessary materials, which, for example, were left after repairs. Also, crafts can be made from plastic bottles, disposable tableware, corks and the like. But in this article we will talk about material such as PVC pipes, which, according to the rules, are needed and used in the sewer system, but now we will describe how to make a useful thing out of this material, such as a PVC pipe lamp.

From a completely simple and inexpensive material, you can create something fabulous and fantastic, the most important thing here is to have skillful hands and a rich imagination, the rest is up to the small. Thanks to these good qualities you can create beautiful and beautiful night lights in the form of lamps.

In fact, we don’t know who first thought of this idea and created such beauty as a lamp made of PVC pipes, but nowadays people of such nationalities as Brazilians, Argentines, Australians and Chinese are engaged in such needlework, but ours is no exception. country Russia.

For implementation beautiful crafts we will list the materials and tools that we will need during the work:

1. A drill with a sufficient and diverse set of nozzles that have different thicknesses and can still be distinguished by the types of grinding, we need abrasive ground tips.

2. PVC pipe. When choosing, you need to take into account the size, that is, the diameter, it should be in the range from 25 to 55 centimeters. At the same time, provide for a place in which your night light will stand or hang and the dimensions of the pattern that you will cut out on the pipeline.

If you do not want to spend a lot of time and effort on making a pipe lamp, then the work can be done with just one drill. But if you want to perform a drawing that is voluminous and complex in its composition, then for this you need to include in the work the execution of small to large holes, complex rhinestones, work with the thickness of the pipe walls, removing the outer layers to add volume and aesthetics and, of course, giving the effect 3D to some details.

Before we start making patterns and rhinestones on a lighting device, let's decide what size we need a lamp. The main criteria for pipe size are its diameter and height. If you have decided on the size of the craft, then let's move on to choosing templates and stencils for the desired picture that you want to depict on your device. As patterns, a floral look of a picture, a landscape or a banal ornament, and the like, the choice of your taste can serve.

The silhouette of the selected pattern is transferred to the pipe in a very simple, but at the same time convenient method, at the same time, attention is paid to the edges at the top and bottom. Before you begin, consider the desired size of the holes in the pipe in diameter so that the drills fit your ideas. A very simple option can serve as a good idea, for example, you don’t need to draw and cut out various patterns, you can simply cut out a beautiful decorative lamp using the drawn holes of various diameters.

A very elegant drawing is obtained when light halftones are used in the work. Such an effect and quality can be obtained when the outer layer of the pipe, that is, PVC, is removed with the help of abrasive tips. The more layers you remove, the greater the transparent effect will be and the light will be much brighter in these places than on a simple surface.

To give the lamp made of PVC pipes the effect of 3D format, it is necessary to attach the parts that will protrude beyond the walls of the pipe, first you need to thin them with the same tips that were used when giving the light halftone, after doing these works we cut out the shape with special construction knife.

To give aesthetics and the final effect, we take a building hair dryer (it gives more intense heat), heat the form to a state of elasticity and bend it to the side. We leave the mold alone and wait for it to cool, when it cools it will remain in the same state in which you bent it during heating.

Such a lamp at the end of the work can not even be painted, the natural color of the pipes (white) will fit into the design of your house or apartment quite easily. But still, if you want to give the lamp color design, then it will not take much time and a lot of effort, you just need paint from an aerosol can.

Upon completion of work from the sphere of scenery, it is worth moving on to works that will answer all practical matters. So, for the completed crafts, you need a very strong and stable shelf or base, at your discretion, because the lamp made of PVC pipes must stand steadily, since it weighs a lot and is also rather big in size.

As a light in your device, there may be different kinds lighting with lamps. It is recommended to use energy-saving lamps, because they will not allow the walls of the lamp made of PVC pipes to overheat and deform the decorative shell. To give a more decorative lamp, you can use a garland during lighting, it will turn out very interesting.

How to make a beautiful street lamp yourself? We will show you unusual and simple options how to decorate your yard with beautiful street lighting.

Street lamps made from natural materials.

An unusual and stylish street lamp can be made in autumn from a grapevine. As a template, we need an inflatable beach ball. We wrap the vine around the ball, securing the intersections with wire for structural rigidity.

After our improvised vine ball is ready, we blow off the ball and carefully pull it out.

Inside such a ball, you can place it as a solar lamp, and wrap it with an LED strip for outdoor lighting. Such tapes often have a color switch, then with the help of a remote control you can change the color of your street lighting.

Beautiful street lamp with your own hands.

A beautiful street lamp in the form of a stream of light can also be made using led strip.

For more convenience in the garden, it is better to use LED strip on solar panels.

We fold the light cord in half - this is how we form “the jets of our stream”. We fix a bunch of light cord inside the teapot using a large metal washer and threading the cord through the spout of the teapot.

Here is such a wonderful outdoor lamp that can decorate your entrance to the house or gazebo in the garden.

How to make a street lamp from a log.

Natural material such as logs is one of the most harmonious materials for garden decor.

Cut the log into rings, making a hole in the middle. Inside we install a transparent plastic pipe or a plexiglass pipe. Add an LED strip and a stylish garden street lamp is ready to decorate your garden.

And from hemp you can make a chandelier for a gazebo.

This is what its simple design looks like.

A small tip - in order to accurately select the middle of the stump, you can cut it in half, and then carefully glue it.

Or you can take care of a beautiful support for our lamp.

It has been repeatedly stated that very unusual and spectacular products for interior decoration are obtained from materials that would seem not intended for this. A lot of decorative gizmos are obtained from disposable tableware, plastic containers, all kinds of cases, lids and corks. And almost anything is made from plastic bottles, from boats and rafts, to sofas and armchairs, from baskets, organizers and vases, to earrings, bracelets and rings. PVC pipes are no less successful, the purpose of which is to cope with sewer needs.

And now, it would seem, from such a prosaic, albeit practical, routine, plastic pipes go to a completely different level of being: skillful hands and imagination turn them into extraordinary, almost fabulous night lamps.

It is difficult to say who first thought of this idea, but today craftsmen from Brazil, Argentina, Australia, China are engaged in the manufacture of PVC lamps, and in our country there are also fans of this curious design reception. The manufacturing process is quite simple, even a teenager who knows how to handle power tools can handle elementary models. The lamp is made by applying through holes through which light will penetrate.

To make a lamp out of PVC pipes, you will need a drill with various nozzles: drills of various thicknesses and grinding nozzles with an abrasive. The pipe itself is chosen with a fairly wide diameter, from 20 to 50 cm, you need to focus on what place the lamp will take in the interior and what pattern will be chosen for application.

The simplest models of lamps can be made using the same type of perforation with a drill, complex, three-dimensional models include not only a pattern from holes of various diameters, but also working with pipe thickness, removing plastic in layers, as well as cutting and adding volume to some details of the composition.

Before starting work, we determine what size our lamp should be. Dimensions determine the diameter of the pipe and its height. Then we select the template of the desired pattern. It can be a simple ornament, a patchwork or floral motif, or a plot or a thematic picture.

The contours of the pattern are transferred to the surface of the PVC pipe convenient way, including attention to the top and bottom edges. When starting work, consider the required hole diameter when using different drills. Even just by making holes of different sizes along the contour of the picture, you can already get a finished lamp.

A more elegant drawing is obtained if light halftones are applied. This effect is achieved by removing PVC layers from the surface of the pipe. To do this, use abrasive nozzles on the drill. The more layers removed, the more light will be seen through.

If a 3D effect is needed, the contours of those parts that should protrude beyond the pipe are first thinned using the same abrasive grinding nozzles, then cut out with a construction knife. To shape them, they are heated with a hair dryer, preferably a building one, it gives more intense and uniform heating, and is bent to the side. When cooled, this shape remains.

A lamp made of PVC pipes will look in the interior and in white, so to speak, primordial color. But if there is a desire to have a color design, then this is easier to do, painted with PVC paint from an aerosol can.

After the decorative part is completed, it's time to take care of the practical side of the issue. For this lamp, you need a reliable heavy base, it will allow the lamp to become stable.

Energy-saving lamps are chosen as the light source for the PVC lamp, they will not overheat the decorated shell. Even more interesting is the use of LEDs, for example, light garlands. Then glow color effects are used, making the lamp even more attractive.
