Who couldn't use another lamp?

I love making lamps from other things! It's thrifty -- reuse the "guts" from a .50 garage sale lamp. It's green and creative -- when ideas evade you, make a lamp, almost ANYTHING can be a lamp. And it's practical -- who couldn't use another lamp?











But my favorite lamp is one I didn't have to repurpose at all.........

    Love these!! I was just about to throw away an old lamp shade the other day...what was I thinking?!!? I have been going modge podge crazy lately, so I think some old book pages are going to go on that shade. I am also going to start looking at Goodwill for more shades!!

    Yowza! I love all your lamps! Great work.. I keep thinking about doing this and bought some lamp kits but so far have only made a couple. Nothing as creative as these. And I especially enjoyed your last point--so very true---and sometimes we forget.

    I love all your repurposed lamps and it is great that you use recycled guts even. This is my favorite post of the week in blogland!
