and this tin, is a tin of cookies, that came from an asian grocery store near my home. i drilled two holes in it already. one is at the bottom, for the cord to go out in, and then the top is where the lamp lights will come in. so we'll start by taking the cord with the lamp kit, essentially running it through the hole in the bottom. once we've done that the next step is run through the base of the lamp, go to it like this, form a base of the lamp where all pieces will go on top like that. now, glue the metal piece in place and attach the wires to the screw. don't worry all lamp kits come with detailed instructions. just like that. then put the lamp shade on and, alright! there you have it. very cool, coffee can, wine bottle, whatever you want. to see even more upcycle items, go to our website livewellnetwork.com and click on deals.
