Have you ever wondered how to make a DIY concrete lamp? We have! Concrete lamps are the perfect fusion of simple modernity and industrial chic - it's hard not to absolutely adore them. And it's no wonder that you can find concrete lighting filling up the aisles in every home decor store you walk into these days.
The drawback is that concrete lamps and light fixtures often come with a hefty pricetag on account of their weight (concrete isn't exactly the cheapest material to transport from point A to point B). The bright side to all of this is that concrete *powder* is significantly lighter and extremely cost effective. Which made us wonder.... Is making a DIY concrete lamp difficult? The short answer is NO. Not if you have an easy to follow DIY tutorial by your side :)
