The Radiant Design For A Budget-Friendly DIY Table Lamp For Luxurious Light

Table lamps and other decorative lighting pieces make a home look more expensive, so it's perhaps no surprise they are often sold for an expensive price as well. This makes it challenging to brighten up your home with statement lighting for an affordable price. Creating a DIY table lamp with budget-friendly materials is the perfect solution to this problem. You can do this by covering a Hot Wheels Racetrack Set in gold spray paint and bling, and gluing it onto the Floral Garden Plastic High Cloche Dome to form an arch. Coat the dome with the Clear Glass Accent Gems from Dollar Tree, spray paint the base gold, and place a puck light in the center of it.

You will then be left with a sparkly table lamp that resembles a store-bought statement lighting piece. This is one of those DIY projects that requires you to put your faith in very unconventional materials and trust the process. However, the steps are surprisingly simple. This is the perfect opportunity to test your creativity. When you put your handmade table lamp on display, visitors won't believe you built the lighting piece out of materials from Dollar Tree. Purchasing a store-bought lamp might be easier, but you'll likely find that this DIY is far more rewarding.

To create the perfect lighting for your space with Dollar Tree products, start out by cutting the outer edges of the Hot Wheels Racetrack Set away. Next, glue the Clear Glass Accent Gems all over the clear plastic covering on the Garden Plastic High Cloche Dome. Keep in mind that you can personalize this DIY by gluing different craft materials onto the dome that may suit your home design scheme better. Alternatives you may want to consider include Dollar Tree's Crafter's Square Paper Flowers, or their Acrylic Crafting Jewels.

Next, spray paint the black base in the Garden Plastic High Cloche Dome along with the Hot Wheels Racetrack. Feel free to use any color that best complements the touches of personalization you selected. If you glued flowers onto the dome rather than gems, for example, you might find that a pastel pink or purple spray paint shade makes a lot more sense than the gold metallic color used in the video. After the paint dries, use screws and a screwdriver to attach the ends of the Hot Wheels Racetrack Set to the dome base to form an arch.

Either leave the arch as is or jazz it up with something like the self-adhesive Disco Ball Tiles. Your final step is to set a puck light on the base of the Garden Plastic High Cloche Dome and place the clear plastic cover that you previously decorated over it. Consider using the Onumii Puck Lights for this step. Keep in mind that you can use your completed DIY table lamp in non-traditional spots, too, such as a dresser or bookcase.
