Create a unique lamp out of just about anything: a favorite vase, a family heirloom, a treasure from your travels, an object of personal significance. Instead of letting it collect dust on a shelf, convert it into a beautiful lamp, light it up, and turn it into a focal point and conversation piece.
Objects not appropriate to drill can be made into figurine lamps and placed on a base with a bent rod in the back for the wiring. (See example below.)
Let your imagination run wild!
