I have a lamp without wiring that my daughter in law gave me, I haven't gotten around to buying everything that would make it complete lamp. I'm not going to now, it will be a beautiful bird bath. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT IDEA!

Thank you! I appreciate the careful explanation and "showing us how" to do each step. I'll try this out this week.

Awesome ideas

Thank you, sir. This is a very creative and cost effective to upcycle the lamps to make a bird feeder, birdbath or side table. Great work here. Cheers!

I have used the lamps and placed a yard solar light into the top of it and used them on my back patio on the end stands.

Love both of them.

that good idea ty

I have an old brash lamp it's really heavy. I think it'll make a pretty end table. I really want to try this. Your projects all came out great!!

Another great creation! I just watched your terracotta pot bird bath video and am making it tomorrow. TFS! 😊

We are so happy that you enjoyed the videos. Please share with us your experience with making your own. We would love to hear about it.

Been making these for 10 or 12 years. I have been using shallow clear plastic bowls for birdbaths etc. since glass is prone to hail damage. There are so many faux cut glass and crystal look plastic items. These are always lovely. : ) Small lamps make excellent display stands for cupcakes for weddings. or hors d'oeurves etc for parties.

I found a beautiful lamp base and a most unusual retro coloured glass bowl (shallow with a slit where the one portion curls under giving a finger loop to grasp the bowl) to make a bird bath/feeder. I'm excited to see the finished product.

Wow I like it.

That would make an awesome little side table for your chair just to set your cup of coffee on and maybe have a book on it.Oh my goodness.That is a cute and inexpensive idea for an old lamp.I gave away some real big Chunky.Wooden lamps with golden eagles on them that I could have taken off and that was made a beautiful side table.I didn't know that that you could use it for something else.But I gave him away anyway.Maybe I can find some method thrift store that I like for a side table

The gold one is out favorite as well. We just put it out front yard with some glass blue and white stone and a bit of water for the birds and butterflies

I've been remaking and rewiring lamps since I was a kid but I never thought of making them anything but lamps! T he's are cool ideas!

Thank you for these ideas. I have some old items that I can repurpose instead of throwing away or donating.

I painted the inside of small glass jar and used that as a spacer. Worked like a charm and gave it a little more height.

Anything deep enough to accommodate the bolt size. Some just won't budge without a saw, especially with plaster mould lamps. Bowls, saucers, cups, condiment dishes, votives, caps, tiny boxes, etc. Save all your unused project parts in case you may need them for another.

Most lamps i work with have enough room to lower the threaded rod the half inch or so to make the rod flush with the top of the lamp. You might use a thin metal bolt or a circle of metal to glue securely to the top of the threaded rod. That’s how I’d do it anyway!

I thrufted a tall candle holder and turned into a bird bath.

What glue works I tried e6000 and gorilla glue and didn't hold up with weight of the water?

I like to keep my lamp plugged in while converting. 😂

I am making one with a candle holder, and one with a vase

Wouldn't a wooden lamp rot outside when wet?

It could. The wooden lamp base in our video is actually plastic. If you use wood and plan on putting outside you could seal it but it would still be exposed to the elements.

It doesn't look like it is stable, considering not only birds drink from it,. But squirrels as well.

@mybloomsource5017

ours is quite stable.

Great ideas but I am not a fan of using glass for outdoor accessories. Glass is too easily broken creating a hazard for children and animals.
