What are you going to do in this activity?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will learn how to make a touch bookcase lamp using some Bare Conductive paint and the light kit of the same brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very easy to do, and very practical for your home! (if you have a bookcase or a simple bookshelf with books)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can of course install this lamp elsewhere (dressing room, spice cupboard, cellar). We will show you how to make a large switch with some masking tape and electric paint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 : Build your switch <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, you are going to create the switch that will control the light module of your lamp. Stick some masking tape (between 20cm and 30cm) to a piece of cardboard. Then, cover the tape with some electric paint (use the 50ml pot and the brush). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait for the paint to dry before peeling off your adhesive tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step 2 : create the lamp base <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are creating your own template, have a look at this tutorial<\/a>, which will help you make a functional base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
