How to make lamps?
I have items I would like to convert to lamps such as daughter's old clarinet. Also, have lamps that are broken I'd like to make into something else as the base is neat. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks. Melissa

Just buy the lamp kit at your hardware store and fit it into anything you want! I made one out of tea cups like this. You will need a drill bit for ceramics and spray water on the drill while using it. That you should research online.
