How to Make a Rope-Wrapped Lamp

Thomas Liggett
Materials Needed:
- lamp base
- roll of jute twine
- lampshade
- hot glue
Step 1
With a dab of hot glue, adhere the beginning of a roll of jute twine — available at hardware stores — to the top of the lamp base.
Step 2
Wrap the twine around the base, hot-gluing every few rotations so that it doesn’t droop. For a textured look, occasionally overlap the twine.
Step 3
When you reach the base’s bottom, cut the twine and secure it with a final dab of hot glue at the back.
