Make A Stylish Lamp From Vintage Doilies ~Re-Purposing Vintage Items

Re-Purposing Vintage Items

Today we're talking about re-purposing vintage items into fresh new accents for the home. You may have a bundle of pretty vintage/antique doilies laying around, sitting under various vases, or being used as coasters on your coffee table. What if you could turn them into a lighter-than-air hanging lamp that throws a gorgeous pattern on your walls and floor?

EmmmyLizzzy has a great tutorial on exactly how to do this, but the basics are no more complicated than projects you used to do in school as a kid. All you need is some Elmer’s glue, a big punching-bag style balloon, and your favorite doilies.

Check out the gorgeous results below and visit EmmmyLizzzy for the detailed instructions.

Stay tuned for the launch of Second Shout Out Vintage Marketplace and more inspiration!
