DIY or ‘Do it yourself’ (People on
Pinterest will kill us for attempting to explain it) is in. You don’t really
have to be an environmentalist to attempt to reuse or repurpose an old item. Look
around and see so many things that we don’t really use, which usually ends up
in the garbage bin or with a rag-picker. We thought of curating 5 such ideas of
converting your old, unused items into works of art... or as we call it, work
of light.
Here you go.
1. Kettle in the morning...lamp
at night
Not literally, you don’t
want to be ‘smelling the coffee’ all night long. Yes, that’s an improperly
fitting adage, but a proper night lamp sprouting out of the tea-pot that kept
you awake as a kid, shall now help swag up you house.

Did you ever imagine that an
egg beater can beat the hell out of your regular looking candle holders? Turn
your old egg beaters upside down (or hold it straight, damn confusing this
is...) and you have a garden or ally full of great candle holders.
3. Fruity-Light
Turn your fruit basket round for some ether-eal
lighting in your kitchen or porch.
4. Bucket-Light
Remember the Steel/Aluminium buckets you
used as a kid in your house. I am sure they have been replaced by unattractive
plastic buckets, or maybe the elaborate bath tub. Pick them up, turn them over
and give your room lights a gothic look.
5. Bird cage lamp
So your favourite parakeet flew away when you left the cage door
open. And you are in no mood to have one more. So the good news is that the
parakeet flew away, it’s not really a place for a bird. (Sorry if we are being
insensitive, we are just being sensitive towards the bird). Wash the birdcage
(please, you don’t want to feel like you are sleeping in a poultry), and add a
stand and makes an awesome side table lamp.
Hope you try these at home. Send us a
