This is one of the items I will be using for this project. this is an old outside light fixture with beveled type glass.
This is another item I will be using for this project. This was an old item that used to hold nuts for thanksgiving it also had a center piece which held the nutcracker and pickers. This part was removed I didn't need it. I had to drill a larger hole in the center so I could fit the threaded bar through it.
This is a piece that came from another light fixture.
This piece was from the old brass lamp which I used on one of the projects I listed already. I like to use as many pieces from my items as I can.
This is what my project looked like when I put some of the pieces together.
This is the top of the item looking down as you can see I added some pieces together using one of the threaded bars from another lamp and a bolt to hold them together.
This is what the project looked like just before I added another piece to it.
I put the outside light fixture on top and also bolted it down. I also took out the beveled glass so I could clean it up and also so I wouldn't get any paint on the glass when I painted it. Also in the picture you will see two new pieces I will also be using. A decorative mirror circle and a piece off a light fixture.
This is a close up of the light fixture piece I will be using.
After I installed the light fixture piece also on the inside top area which you can see in the picture I painted the whole item with black exterior spray paint.
I then added some detailing. I added red beads, green glass circles and trim that is black with gold detailing.
I also added some more detailing. I also hot glued the circle decorative mirror to the top and put a water globe with a princess which I also hot glued on top.
I also added some square opal color marble type pieces around the inside top area.
You can see in this photo what it looked like after the detailing work was done. I also put the beveled glass back in.
I than added to the top a cover to an old light fixture and the top to a solar light.
This is what my project looks like lit up. I hope you enjoyed this craft. Any type of lamp fixtures and lamps can be taken apart and mixed to make something unique and different.
