How to Make a Candle Holder from Lamp Parts

   Broken vintage lamp parts are as good as gold to a repurposer like me!

When I ran across this pile of junked pieces I was excited to see what it could become.

Another project I made from this pile of parts was a black hammered pedestal planter.

Today I'm back to the HomeRight Paint Shelter for another go with the Rust-Oleum Matte Hammered Spray Paint.


I assembled a few pieces and attached them to a board temporarily for painting. 


I think at one time this piece held a glass globe of some kind.

When the paint was dry I removed the piece from the wood and attached it to an old door with a DIY mirror I have in my den. 


I dropped in a candle and this antique light fixture takes on a new life as a modern day candle holder.

This piece was super hard to photograph between the mirror and the window, I'm doing my best to give you a clear photo of the adjustable swing arm. 


The candle can be swung far away from the wreath and the door when lit then folded back when not in use.

I hope this project makes you think twice when you run across old lamp parts... 


What could they be next?
