ToDo List: 31 diy projects

Cork lamp base! Yay!

I made this lamp base out of cork contact paper (Target has everything!), a lightbulb socket kit, cardboard tube from a paper towel roll, and some pebbles to give it a nice, sturdy base. 




love the natural look of cork, so it's a nice touch I think. But if I ever decide to change it, I can easily pop the lightbulb socket out of the cardboard tube and re-use the cork contact paper (I didn't remove the backing or anything).


You can find a lovely tutorial for the cork lamp base that inspired this project, as posted on Design*Sponge, here

  2. Lauren, I'm so glad to have found your blog!! Your ideas are so cute! P.S. I made my own planner once... couldn't find one that was perfect. It was sort of cool. When you get to that one, I'll fill you in! I would recommend doing it during a blizzard or some other time that you have nothing else to do!
