Start by wrapping individual pipe cleaners around a pencil or straw to create curly spirals. You can mix tighter and looser curls for variety and texture.
Once you have enough spirals, begin gluing them onto the lamp’s base or shade area, arranging them in all directions like branches of a coral reef.
Layer the pipe cleaners densely around the light source, ensuring enough space for light to shine through. Alternate colors for a soft, rainbow-like blend.
Add small pom-poms at the tips or in between the curls for a fun accent that pops when the lamp is on.
Plug it in, step back, and watch the light dance through your handmade creation.
