If you are a beginner at popsicle stick crafting, you may want to try a simpler project first. A spiral-shaped lamp can be easily made from popsicle sticks and hot glue.

Instructions
First, make a square base and glue another popsicle stick to each of the four edges. Now stick two wooden spatulas next to each other on the opposite sides. Next, glue the wooden cubes on the edges and continue the structure. Once the lower part of the tower is finished, you can also close the large gaps on the sides with popsicle sticks.

The following project is for a lamp that looks like a complicated geometric figure called the icosahedron. This figure consists of several triangles and is perfect for a creative lamp made of popsicle sticks.
Instructions
To do this, you should first make a total of twenty triangles out of popsicle sticks using the hot glue gun. Then the first thing to do is build a kind of lid out of six triangles by attaching the sides together with adhesive tape and the corners with hot glue.

Next, you should make a net out of three triangles and attach it to the already finished lid. Again, use the hot glue gun only on the corner points and allow the glue to dry thoroughly before continuing.
