You can easily make your own DIY candle holders from lamps.

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 made these DIY plug-in wall sconce light fixtures from two pencil lamps, pipe, and a broken thrifted table. I love how great they look at my lake house bedroom.

I purchased these two lamps years ago from the thrift store.You can easily make your own DIY candle holders from lamps.

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.

    These are so fun. I love how they look like a flower too. And your DIY bedside light is fabulous too by the way. Thank you for the inspiration.

    These are spectacular. How lucky to find the globes and have the lamp base that fit. It was certainly meant to be. They are gorgeous.

    This is such a great up-cycle! I love it when pieces from two different things fit well together! These look like they were made for each other!
