This colorful lampshade is also made of wooden beads. The idea is to take an old lamp with a wire base, remove the existing lampshade and put some beads on it. The author decided on colorful beads and put them on the wire rather randomly, you may do the same or create various color block effects. Add tassels and your boho chic lamp is done!

This craft is about sprucing up a usual pendant lamp – there’s a cool way to add wooden beads to it. The main thing is to find oversized wooden beads, they will be the key to success. Put them on the cord of the lamp and voila! if you leave the beads neutral, you’ll get a minimalist look, if you paint them somehow, the effect will be different.

This craft is similar to the previous one but here the cord is thin and the beads are smaller, too. Take any colorful beads of your choice and put them on the cord, and voila! For a more neat look, take beads of the same color or just refinish them to achieve the look that you like. Get inspired and spruce up a usual pendant light.
