i was inspired by cupcakery in baxter, and then today i saw a blog with a how-to from kara paslay. i didn't really look at the how-to because i'm not good with directions sometimes, and because i was recycling an old lighting cord off a chandelier lamp i don't use anymore. she is making it from scratch, so to speak, here.
1) drill 4-5 holes into the lid. you need multiples so the lamp doesn't overheat. i did this outside. after i did it i looked at her pictures...and i felt dumb.
2) if using a recycled lighting set, take it apart as much as possible. if you can't get it down to this point, you may not be able to use the cord. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmNJaWQIREgLKjyA5aVz8pUQaDEfsMfPiv0xgP7-CM2Z47bYbnAVQxUtveRf3YDP14FctyUjgtG0HXXF5UK6pCa3pMx6w_1S9eoP0hAU73wIKPg794oLM5C9R_50F1IIiYm6XDtJZum1A/s320/DSC04869.JPG)
3)string the cord through the middle hole.
4) put it all back together with the mason jar disk on the other side of the lightbulb-holding contraption.
i just liked this random picture i took.
the next one i want to make is this one:
