Creative Hobbies® Make-A-Lamp Kit #ML3-12S Complete Lamp Parts Kit with Instructions

I bought two of these lamp repair kits, one to repair an old pink ceramic lamp that I've had since I was a child, and another to repair a wood and ceramic and glass torchiere lamp that I curb-shopped. In both cases it worked like a charm. It comes with a simple instruction insert for with a diagram and parts list. Assembly is more or less self explanatory with the included diagram. For me the hardest part was doing the underwriter's knot. I had to look up additional references online, and then I could do it. I used pretty much all the parts for the pink ceramic lamp, but I had to adapt the kit slightly to repair the torchiere lamp, because it doesn't use the harp that comes with the kit, but instead uses a milk-white glass lampshade which points upward. I managed this fairly easily by simply leaving out the parts that didn't work with my lamp.Best of all, these kits were very inexpensive; I think both kits together cost around $25. Really a great deal for two lamps that I needed to light up a very dark bedroom.

easy and reliable

Easy to use, good value and worked just right for a lamp I was building. Thanks for a great product.

Appearance great. Hard to find these kits in stores.

Everything I needed to change my lamp from European outlet to American! Instructions weren’t the easiest to follow but in the end I figured it out and it wasn’t too hard…just my first time!

Simple and perfect for a rewire of my side table lamp.

My mothers lamps are at least 73 years old. The cords were brittle and frayed, switches did not work. Not safe to use the lamps. Completely took lamps apart and cleaned them back to looking new. Wouldn't have been worth the trouble without the kits to rewire them. Simple instuctions. Easy too use, fit perfectly and just need new shades to complete the restoration. Great product.

The product was the exact size I needed to construct a custom light for my wife.
