Lamp made from craft blocks

Before you start gluing the blocks together, make sure you have all the materials to hand. The VBS handicraft glue is ideal as it sets quickly and becomes transparent after drying.

Start by creating the four side parts of your future lamp.
For each side part, you will need:
- Four 16 cm blocks
- Two 8 cm blocks
- Two 4 cm blocks
- Six acrylic blocks (three satinised and three clear)

Make sure that you leave out a 4 cm long craft block from one of the side sections. This will ensure that there is enough space for the plugs of the lampbase later.

After you have assembled the side parts, leave them to dry overnight and coat the wooden blocks with VBS acrylic varnish to give them a perfect finish. This not only gives them a great look, but also protects the wooden surface from external influences.

Glue the four finished side parts together at the outer edges with the handicraft glue. For additional stability, you can attach additional blocks from the inside for reinforcement.

Make sure that the lampbase still has enough space, then fit an E14 light bulb to the lampbase and once all the parts are sufficiently dry, you can carefully place the lampshade over the lampbase.

Finally, check that the lamp is stable and that the light emitted corresponds to your design!
