A chandelier table lamp adds a simple touch of luxury and one of kind styling to any room or furniture in an office or home. Chandelier lamps can be used above your dining room table, on coffee tables, end tables, mantles or just about anywhere. Chandelier lamps can be costly purchase. However, you can make your own, the way you want it, using this guide. This step by step guide will aid you in the process.

Scissors, a hot glue gun, hot glue, fishing line, plastic beads, glass beads, crystal beads or small shells, a relatively cheap lamp shade and a lamp are required.

1.)How to prepare the lampshade.

Take out the paper shade from the lampshade frame. Since the paper holds the frame together, removing it will enable you to center piece from the lampshade. Get rid of the circular piece.

2.)Getting the bead lines ready.

Using the fishing line, thread a bead onto it and tie a double not on both ends. To secure the knot, place a small amount of hot glue, using the glue gun on it. Make sure that the fishing line is not visible by placing the remaining beads in close proximity to one another, leaving about two inches of line without beads on the end.

3.) Join the frame and the bead lines.

Fasten the bead line to the ring on the lampshade. Use a triple knot and hot glue to keep the knot in place. Use scissors to get rid of the left over line. Repeat the steps as many times as necessary around the whole lampshade.

4.)Embellish the ring on the external part of the frame.

Add beads around the frame by using the hot glue gun. This will make the majority of the metal and fishing line invisible and add a beautiful touch to the frame.

5.)Connect the lamp and lamp shade to one another.

Position the lamp shade on the lamp. Check all the lines to make sure they are even and do not touch the light bulb. To fix any uneven lines, simply trim it with your scissors and the secure the knots with the glue again to keep the bead on the line.

For decorating, make sure to use items that will not melt, are not flammable and are lightweight.

Consider giving the lampshade a dimensional look with plastic clay that is lightweight and uses air drying if you are up for it. Small toys can be affixed to the shade itself or used as the baubles on the ends.

Take advantage of you or your childs favorite colors or characters to create a theme lamp. Gain inspiration from your favorite things like astronomy, fantasy or even Barbie. Stars or planet stickers that use a glow in the dark material are perfect for astronomy and fantasy. Flowers that are the same shade of pink as Barbie pink would be ideal. Wooden owls can be used throughout the lamp and for baubles if the theme is Harry Potter.

In some cases more is better unless one of the following applies. The project is done and looks great, if adding more items would make it too heavy for the lamp to support, some decorations are covered up by others and finally everything is completely covered except for the light bulbs.

If you are seeking to get a little more luxury to your home, you should look at getting a chandelier table lamp, or maybe even a few chandelier table lamps.
