Description: I saw a these cool light saber lamps and wanted them for my office but they cost $65. Then I thought I could do it myself and I did. I detailed it step by step here.
Basically, it is done with an Ikea Hemma lamp and a Hasbro toy light sabre. It only costs about $21 in total.
What you'll need:
- light saber: $10
- Ikea lamp: $5
- lamp shade: $5
- washer: $0.13
- spray paint: $1

ReplyDeleteHa! Always wanted a practical use for my jedi light saber. Thank you!

Wow that's a great idea and it's well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this idea! I made mine using the 18" Hemma instead of the 14", so there would be a little blade visible. Also used a color matching light bulb. Final effect is pretty awesome.
