Hi guys, This is an easy way to make your own lamp from an old (or new) chain

In my case; my bike was stolen and so they cut my chain in half (sad sad me) But hey now i can make a cool lamp! any chain will do.

Shape It

First start with the curve from the lamp. Put it in the shape you want and weld it together. After that make sure that you create a big enough circle that makes it stable.

make sure that you weld more points at each chain so it can handle some more pressure

Paint It and Assemble It
