How To Add Crystals To A Lamp

February 2, 2016 By Meegan 4 Comments

This post contains affiliate links that I make a commission on at no extra cost to you. Hello everyone! I have something fun and creative for you today. I have a simple tutorial on How To Add Crystals To A Lamp. Sounds fun, right?

Everyone needs a little bling in their life, huh?

I have had this lamp for about 15 years. I bought a new lamp shade, but it still wasn’t what I wanted. I added the satin rosettes, but still have been looking for something to create the look I was wanting.

Crystals for a Floor Lamp

It all starts with some stringed crystals that I bought on Amazon.

And some wire. Sound easy?

Wire for Floor Lamp Crystals

This is what you will need:

Crystals

Maybe a few stringed crystals

28 gauge galvanized wire

Simply measure the length of your lamp shade.

Cut an 12 inch length of wire, for your longest string.

Fold the wire in half.

String your crystals on the wire.

Wire Your Crystals to the Top of Your Lamp Frame

Attach the wire to the top of the frame of the lamp shade.

 

Floor Lamp With Crystals Hanging with Wire

For a shorter length, cut a piece of 8 inch wire.  And go through the same process of attaching the wire to the lamp shade.

 

Add Crystals To Any Lamp For a Fresh Look

You can add as many crystals as you like for your taste.

I am so pleased with how my lamp came out. Although I MIGHT add a few more strings.

What do you think?

    Love this! I saw a chandelier similar to this in a catalog but could never afford it, your directions were exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing!
