It is time for The Thrift Store Decor Upcycle Challenge. Thirty other DIY bloggers and I take part in this challenge every third Thursday of the month. I really appreciate Amanda from Kolb Corner for organizing and putting this together every month.
The Rules:
- Upcycle an item(s) from a thrift store, resale store, or garage sale into a new piece of decor.
- There’s no monthly theme.
- There’s no budget to stick to.

And now for more thrifty goodness!
I am so happy with these DIY candle holders made from lamps that I had taken apart and used for another project. One set of lamps turned into two beautiful pieces of decor for my home.
I purchased these two lamps years ago from the thrift store.
After I made those wall sconces, I still had the lamp base left over. I did not throw them out because I thought I might use them for something else one day.
While I was out thrift store shopping, I found these two light fixture globes for 99 cents each. I did not know what I would use them for but I thought they were pretty so I purchased them.
I was going through my shelf where I keep my junk and found my old lamp bases and the globes fit the lamp bases perfectly.
In conclusion,I think that is great when you can make something beautiful for your home out of repurposed or used things that you already have. One thing for sure is no one else will have candle holders like you. You really can have a beautiful home without spending lots of money.
Check out what my fellow upcyclers created below!
