Trash to Treasure: Updating Funky Lamps

Decorating Cents : Episode DCT-1902 -- More Projects »
Robb Whittlef shares how to make new things out of '60s and '70s table lamps. The beautiful sculptural lamp bases are perfect candidates for candleholders, a bohemian hanging lamp fixture and flower vases.

Lamp Candleholders
Turn beautiful glass or ceramic lamp bases into candleholders. Disassemble the lamp and epoxy a wood or metal candle plate (available at craft stores) to the top.
PHOTO
Hanging Light
Turn a lamp base into a hanging light fixture with chain and a wall-mounted hanger. Hot-glue fringe to the bottom of the shade for a bohemian-style look.

Lamp Base Turned Vase
Repurpose the middle part of a lamp into a vase. Turn a small glass plate upside-down and epoxy to the bottom of the lamp base to make it watertight.
