How to Make Decorative Floral Glass Lamps

When you need to update your lamps, but new lamps are too expensive, making your own lamps is a more economical way to update your decor. It allows you to design a lamp to match your tastes as well. What better way to keep that old lampshade that you just can't get rid of, than to attach it to a new lamp.

Things You'll Need

• Clear glass lamp base, with electrical hardware
• Dried flowers or potpourri
• Lamp shade to match the size of lamp base
• Screwdriver

Instructions

Directions

1. Remove the bottom base of the lamp. There will be screws there to remove it.

2. Fill the base with floral elements like dried flowers, potpourri or cattails.

3. Replace the bottom base and tighten the screws.

4. Attach the lamp shade.

Tips & Warnings

• Add your own creative elements: Use a glass etching kit to etch the glass on the outside, hand paint flowers on the outside, hand paint the lamp shade or use floral decals on the outside glass.
