Bamboo Nightlight.
This is a fun and fast project! The materials needed are very inexpensive. If you have your own outdoor bamboo plant you'll know there are always extra stalks for projects.

Cutting the Bamboo.
Cut the bamboo to length with any saw you wish to use. i used a hand saw. The knuckle should be about 1 inch from the bottom cut.
Drilling and More Drilling.
I used the drill press and different sized bits to create designs. I used one of the larger bits to drill a hole in the side of the bottom for the cord. I used a hand drill and a step drill bit to drill the hole in the bottom for the clip light. Check to see if the light fits in the bottom hole.
Finishing Touches.
Smooth the outside and the inside.
I cut the top at an angle on a table saw. Insert light and plug in!
