Open Top Gourd Lamp Kits

Please note: Due to the lateness in the year, our top quality gourds have already been sold; in addition to being smaller in size, the gourds we used to make these Gourd Lamps will have some shell markings and blemishes; prices have been reduced to reflect this. 

Craft-Ready Gourd Lamps make it easy for you to make your own beautiful gourd lamp!

Each Open-Top Gourd Lamp comes as a kit that includes a base, lamp cord with on/off switch, and LED bulb. The gourd has been drilled on the bottom to fit over the base snugly so that light does not seep through. The base provides the lamp with stability and is hidden from view so as not to take away from your beautiful lamp design!

The gourd is completely cleaned inside and out, and cut on the top so that light can shine upwards as well as through your designs on the body of the gourd. We custom order the included LED bulb, which is very small yet produces extremely bright light, yet still has a tiny heat output so as not to cause fire danger.
