I'm sure a lot of you have seen these before, but I thought I'd share mine with you. I have a friend who hunts milkglass for me and she mentioned she liked lights made with ball jars. So, on a recent trip to an antique mall, I picked up an old Ball jar and decided to make her a lamp. These are so easy to make. You can buy a kit to make them like this one from amazon, or you can do like I do and just buy an old lamp from goodwill and take out the "innards." Check out my lamp wiring tutorial HERE for more info. Total cost for this project was under ten dollars. The Bell Jar was $5.99, the lampshade was $0.49 at Goodwill, and I used the parts from a $2.99 lamp from Goodwill.
