Clean the interior lining of the antlers. Remove grime, dirt and organic matter by using oil soap.
Apply lacquer or polyurethane to the surface of the antlers. This will ensure the antler lamp will be easier to clean in the future.
Stack the antlers into an arrangement that you find visually appealing. Place an inverted, large antler close to the top of your lamp. This antler will secure your light socket.Make Antler Lamps Step 3Bullet1.jpg Drill a hole through the other side of the inverted antler. This will be a path for the lamp cord to pass through.Make Antler Lamps Step 3Bullet2.jpg Position one more antler that reaches a little higher than the large, inverted antler. This will serve as the piece that will hold the lampshade.Make Antler Lamps Step 3Bullet3.jpg
Hold the stack of antlers together with rubber bands, bungee cords or wire. This will enable you to work on your antler lamp without holding all the pieces together yourself.
Install the lamp socket into the large, inverted antler. Feed the cord through the hole you drilled in the antler. Pull the cord gently until all of the cord has made it through the hole.
Solder all the antlers together. Use a soldering gun to permanently fix all the antlers together in your desired arrangement.
Screw a bulb into the light socket.
Place a lampshade on the top of the antler lamp.
Flip the switch on your antler lamp to turn it on.
