I have wanted to make this lamp for a long time. One day it turned out that I have everything I need to do it. Great! :D
If you want to see more of my work, look here: facebook.com/kawawlesie or instagram.com/kawawlesie
I cut the coconut in 1/3 of the length, hollowed the pulp with a spoon
Then I smoothed the edges and the entire coconut with sandpaper
I drew a pattern on a coconut, then hollowed it with a multigrinder with a carving cutter
I used a drill to make dots
As the base of the lamp I used a wooden leg from the old sofa :D
In which I drilled a hole for the bulb holder and cable. I smoothed the wood with sandpaper and painted it with an oil stain. I painted the grooves in the coconut with golden paint, and covered the entire coconut with wax for wood
I connected the coconut with a stand using a copper wire so that you can easily open the lamp to change the bulb. I decided that the lamp will be closed with a button.
This is the final effect :)
I hope you like it :). Greetings!
I love it!

LOVE This! It's beautiful! Questions: What kind of paint would be safe to paint the inside of coconut with when using a light? Or do the small twinkle lights not give off any heat? BTW Are you using a battery operated string light? Or plug-in electric? Reason for painting inside of coconut is to have a white light bulb hi-light the red so the RAYS show out red not white unless a person has access to a blue or green red pink?? light bulbs. What do you recommend?
This is amazing
Wow, very cool! Great attention to detail. Did you finish the exterior with anything or just leave it natural?
A very nice project @Dorota Chwal, Well done! What do you think @Zac Builds and @Lou LoGiudice ?
