  Step 1

  Glue the tips of 2 wooden dowels together in a L shape and do the same for other 2 dowels.

• 

  Step 2

  Join the 2 L shaped dowels to create a square. Glue them together with hot glue. Create a total of 31 squares like this one.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut a square out of cardboard that is about 2 millimeters (0.03 inches) smaller than your wooden squares.

• 

  Step 4

  Draw the outline of your bulb holder in the middle of the cardboard square.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut the circle out to create the hole for your bulb holder.

• 

  Step 6

  Put some white glue on a dowel square and lay another square on top of it.

• 

  Step 7

  Again, glue another square on top just like you did before. This will be the base of your lamp.

• 

  Step 8

  Now glue the cardboard square on top, always using white glue (or hot glue if you prefer).

• 

  Step 9

  Put some glue on the cardboard's edges and place a wooden square on top.

• 

  Step 10

  Glue another square on top but make sure that the 4 sides of the previous square face the 4 angles of the last one.

• 

  Step 11

  Glue a new square on top placing it on the same side that the first square is facing and do the opposite for the next one.

• 

  Step 12

  Keep gluing all of your remaining squares this way and finally let the glue dry.

• 

  Step 13

  When the glue is completely dry, insert your bulb holder and LED light bulb and be proud of the result!
