Kilner Jar Lamp - Do It Yourself

Hi Guys

So today I thought I would share with you all a nifty design idea!

These lamps usually retail from £30 - £60 depending on where you buy them from!

To make these lamps yourself it will cost you as little as £9 or less depending on where you buy the products from (now thats a bargain). So why not not make a cool lamp which will stand out in any home!

You will need:

• 1 litre Kilner Jar or a 1qrt Mason jar if your from America
• Pendant light
• Plug
• Lightbulb

Plug Socket

pendant light

Kilner jar

To make the light first of all you will need to take the lid off of the jar and trace the size of the pendant light around the removable part of the jar.

Then remove the screw top from the lid. This will give you access to the centre of the lid ready for you to cut it out.

Be careful of the sharp edges!

Once you have cut out the centre of the lid you will need to attach it to the pendant light. Firstly unscrew the light and remove the screw top bit. Then attach the lid of the jar to the light fitting. After this you will need to screw the screw top bit back on.

When you have done that you will need to feed the wire from the light through the screw top from the lid. This will ensure a realistic seal.

When this has been done attach the plug! But be careful and get someone who knows what they're doing to do this as you are playing with electric. 

Now attach the bulb and screw the lid back on the jar! COMPLETE!!

Thats all you have to do to create something as good as this!

Above is the finished lamp!
This looks good in any room so I highly recommend you try it out:)

I hope you enjoyed this DIY post
