A lamp for a dollhouse made from coffee pieces and other items

These are the items I will be using.  Two of the holders for making coffee in a keurig which one is red and the other black.  Two candlestick holders. Also I'm using some of the pieces off a clock from another project I worked on.

The first thing I did was glue on two of the circles, that I cut off the clock piece to the tops.  These will be my lamp shades.

I then glued the coffee pieces onto the candlestick holders.

In this picture I'm showing you how tall they are.  Now these are nice standing lamps for a dollhouse, and if you want you could also install electric inside the coffee holders.

Making a nice statue holder out of a clock and lamp

This is the finished piece I'll try to explain how to do it.  The bottom part is a lamp, the base of this lamp is heavy white marble and it had a decorative piece above it.  I took out all the electric and took the top of the lamp off I just wanted these pieces for the base.  The top piece was a clock with a piece on the inside that moved around in circles.  When I took out the piece that went around in circles I used it for my next project which I will post next.  After taking everything out of the clock I put a piece of sticky black glittery felt on the back wall and glued a picture of Jesus on the back wall.  I then installed a statue of the last supper.  You could use any statue you like and any background.  

Here's a closer view of the top.

Here's a closer view of the bottom.  I almost forgot I also put some round gray beads on the inside of the glass piece of the lamp for decoration.  I hope this gives you some ideas! Look at my next blog for what I did with some of the clock pieces.

2 lights bought at Lincoln park township wide made into solar light scenes

These are what the two lights looked like when I purchased them at the township wide garage sale.  They were both powered by electric.  As you can see there were fake flowers on the inside.  Under the lights there is a bag of Disney princesses, I will be using two of them for my project.

The next thing I did was take off the tops and took out the flowers. I then took out the electrical parts.

This is what the tops looked like.

I cut the tops off the top pieces so I could install solar lights in the tops.  I also spray painted them so they had a fresh coat of paint.

I also cut off the tops of the bottom parts.  I also gave them a fresh coat of black paint.

I then applied sparkle foam on the back walls and foam board with sparkle foam for the flooring.

This is another view of the inside.

I then glued on mirrors to the back walls

In this picture you can see one of the light fixtures which I added the beauty figure from beauty and the beast, some beaded trim, also i made a little stand next to her out of a small candlestick with pieces of jewelry added to the top.  I also added some fake flowers.

This is what it looks like with the top put back on.  

This is the second light which I added Cinderella, flowers and I also made a little decorative stand made from a small candlestick and pieces of jewelry.

This is what it looks like with the top put on.

In this picture you can see a solar light installed on top and it lights up on the inside.  Both of these fixtures can be hung up outside or the inside of a home.  The next two pictures are both hung outside.

Here's the Cinderella one, during the day it charges from the sun at night it lights up.

Here is beauty from beauty and the beast.  These would also look great on the inside of a home in a child's room for a night light as long as you take the solar caps off and charge them in the sun during the daytime.  I hope this shows you what you can make from an electrical light.
