Put the cut pieces into the 2 discs and form a lamp as shown. Preferably use Chloroform for bonding.

If the cut pieces are formed from Plywood then wood epoxy should be used.

A standard lamp fixture or bulb holder from your local hardware store would suffice for housing the bulb.

Decorating It With Nylon Rope

Use your choice of colored nylon rope and wrapped it on the edges that are already cut in the design.
