I’ve always wanted to make some cool junk light from scratch. As in wires and sockets, the works. But thus far, I’ve cheated and have used existing lights or lamps.

But that sure doesn’t mean the cheat method can’t be cool! Take a look at these genius takes on the uniquest lighting out there!

Who needs tomatoes when you can have a cool chandelier instead?!

A mix of willow and grapevine branches are hiding the fact that there’s a thrift store chandy hiding inside.

A twig garland plus crumpled up wire basket = one cool lampshade.

A sweet old ladder teamed up with mason jars provides the perfect illumination for a hot summer night outdoors.

Christmas is celebrated year around in a different way with this smokin’ cool chandy. Originally made for a family wedding, it now graces the store.

    Hi Donna! Loved the gorgeous outdoor photo you shared earlier. Your Canada reminds me a lot of my home here in Oregon. So much beautiful green! I’ve visited once and it was stunning. Happy Friday. Thanks for hosting 🙂 Shannon
