Trash To Treasure

Garden pagoda

15 years ago

Posted on garden junk.

I kept throwing the base sections of various table lamps in my "salvage" pile after using the glass for other projects. Yesterday I had this brainstorm while cleaning up my work area. This garden pagoda is made from 6 table lamp bases, 5 glass jars, 6 old CD's, 1 section of a different lamp (for the top), and 1 finnel. What make this garden junk so neat is the way colors from the reflective sunlight bouncing off the CD's. I used a sand blaster to cut holes in the bottoms of the jars.
