DIY Dinosaur Lamps

Our next project for TOOLs class is paper lamps. Although these lamps aren't made of paper, they are still pretty cool -- flat packed lamps that you fold together.




Glowing Dinosaurs for your Mammal Based Enjoyment


Take your home lighting back to the mesozoic era with these DIY Dinosaur Lamps. Think T-Rex knew that thousands of years in the future he would be recreated as a glowing table lamp for the whim of some odd warm blooded creatures? Probably not, but as a mammal you will appreciate the workout your opposable thumbs receive while assembling T-Rex... or his friends diplodocus and triceratops.




All three of these dinosaur lamps are constructed from precision cut sheets of flexible plastic which you slot together to create the finished glowing sculpture. Construction time is about 30-40 minutes, but the directions are very clear with detailed photographs of each step. Makes you wonder if thousands of years in the future when we've annihilated ourselves into a nuclear oblivion some advanced evolved race will make DIY Human Lamps...
