This DIY project is a fun way to repurpose an old demijohn and create a stunning statement piece for your decor. In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps to make your own glass demijohn lamp.

Materials Needed

  • Glass demijohn
  • Lamp kit with cord, socket, and harp
  • Lampshade
  • Drill with a glass drill bit
  • Screwdriver
  • Wire strippers
  • Electrical tape
  • Light bulb

Step 1: Prepare the Demijohn

Start by cleaning the demijohn thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Once it’s clean, carefully remove the bottom of the demijohn using the glass drill bit. Be sure to wear safety goggles and go slow to prevent cracking. This will create an opening for the lamp kit.

Step 2: Install the Lamp Kit

Follow the instructions provided with the lamp kit to install the socket and cord. Thread the cord through the drilled hole in the bottom of the demijohn, and secure it in place. Use a screwdriver to attach the socket according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 3: Wiring the Lamp

Using wire strippers, expose about an inch of the wire ends from both the lamp cord and the socket. Twist together the exposed ends of the corresponding wires, one from the cord and one from the socket. Cover each connection with electrical tape to ensure a secure and safe connection.

Step 4: Attach the Harp and Lampshade

Slide the harp onto the socket and lock it in place. Next, attach the lampshade to the harp by sliding it over the top and securing it with a finial if provided. Make sure the lampshade is straight and securely in place.

Step 5: Insert the Light Bulb

Finally, screw in a light bulb of your choice into the socket. Ensure the bulb is the correct wattage for your lamp and the appropriate type for the shade you’ve chosen. Now, plug in your lamp and test it to ensure it’s functioning properly.

You’ve just created a unique glass demijohn lamp that is both visually striking and functional. This DIY project allows you to repurpose an old demijohn and add a touch of personality to your home decor. With a few simple steps and the right materials, you can enjoy the warm glow of your handmade lamp in no time.
