Steampunk lamp from a clock - Plum Doodles

If you are into creative lighting, you'll adore this steam punk lamp from a clock! And it's so easy to make!

When Sheila was challenged to make something out of an old clock, the lightbulb went on! (pun sappy but intentional)

She rummaged through her own stash and used a light from a Christmas village. (I LOVE that idea!) I realize the bulb looks way cooler than a Christmas village light... all the easy details are in her blog post. (link below)

What I LOVE about this:

I'm always intrigued with unique lighting but find the wiring part daunting and scary. You don't want to mess this part up! Using a light kit that's already made removes the danger. Add the fact that this project is basically another Christmas tree village but in a much cooler building, and you are done! Talk about cool ambiance...
