The New Way to Relax: Table Lamp DIY Set

Relaxation is a human need; relaxation is necessary for health and must be at the top of everyone's list of priorities. That's why we naturally crave time in a calm atmosphere free of work and other obligations, and light seems to be one of the essential elements that help us reach a state of relaxation and calmness. 

Proper lighting inside the house is one of the first ways to relax; therefore, using temperature colours, with some warmth, can give the room a warmer feeling to feel relaxed and more protected and safer. For that reason, using lamps with low-intensity bulbs is essential.

Make Your Lamps Unique with a New Way of Meditation 

We use many ways to relax. Meditation, for instance, is a fundamental aspect of maintaining relaxation. Using breathing techniques and visualization helps us reach a state of mindfulness, deep relaxation, and true inner calmness. But, besides these techniques, light is considered the first component that helps create the proper vibration for your meditation room.

Meditation helps us to reduce stress and focus our minds. Many people even set up small areas just for meditation and relaxation. In this area, many items and elements bring a relaxing zen environment; a mosaic table lamp can be added to these items since it has unique patterns that can be handmade. The lamps can be created DIY; you can get a table lamp Kit and create a beautiful lamp in which you can put your energy, love, and intention into it. 

The colours of the light in a meditation space are as important as the room itself; when you design your lamp, you will have varieties of an option for light creation. Make sure you set up a soft, comfortable light for your eyes that generates a pleasant atmosphere of tranquillity and peacefulness. 

Table lamps are versatile items and more flexible to move around the room. The more flexible your meditation room lighting, the better; that's why choosing table lamps are a great idea. You can DIY your lamp; however, light using colours and patterns that go along with the room and add it as a complimentary element to your crystals, burning incense, and singing bowl.

These two pieces will be used at the end when the glass is designed and dried after glue and plaster. This is the last step.

This lighting tool will complement the contrast of the lamp colours and patterns.

The small manual will contain the guidelines for step-by-step on your mosaic lamp making.

• Glueing

Begin first by placing a small amount of the glue in a circular motion into the glass globe. You can use the thin line on the glass globe to guide the glueing process easier. It's essential to place a small amount of glue so the glass pieces won't slide down.

• Adding the Beads

Begin the beading process by applying the glue around the mosaic glass pieces; you can choose where you want to install your beads. Don't be afraid to put a little extra glue while working with beads so they can stick firmly. You can sprinkle and press down the beads onto the glue by covering the rest of the glass except the edge itself.  

You have to wait for 5 to 6 hours for the glue to dry completely before moving to the next step.

• Applying the Plaster

After mixing the plaster well, grab a generous amount of the plaster and apply it onto the glass globe while spreading evenly. Scrape off the excess plaster with a few fingers and wipe it back into the cup. 

Wait in about 2 minutes for the plaster to harden, do wait longer so you can prevent the plaster from hardening too much.
