I love going to antique stores and thrift stores to find crystal lamps and chandeliers. They seem to be harder to find lately which gave me an idea. I thought it would be fun to create a fun faux crystal lamp.
The supplies that I’ll be using are listed down below.
1. Two plastic serving bowls from Amazon
2. Two plastic dessert bowls from Amazon
3. E6000 glue
4. Plastic crystals from Amazon
5. Drill and drill bit
6. Two candle holders from our website
7. One inch hole saw bit
8. Antique gold rub’n buff
You can find the plastic bowls and crystals that I’m using on my Amazon store front by clicking the link down below.

The first step is to drill a hole into the bottom of each bowl with the hole saw bit.
The bowls should look similar to photo above.
The next step is to drill small holes along the edge of the larger bowl.
You’ll be adding small plastic crystals to the holes as shown in photo above.
The crystals that I’m using are the bottom crystals from small strands. You can find these strands on my Amazon store front.
This bowl will be going on top of the candle holder.
I decided to add antique gold rub’n buff to my candle holders. You can find these candle holders on our website by clicking the link down below.

You’ll add some of the E6000 glue to the top of the candle holder.
Place the larger bowl with the crystals on top as shown in photo above.
You’ll want to add more E6000 glue around the hole of the larger bowl.
Place the smaller bowl on top as shown in photo above.
I added some of the antique gold rub’n buff to timer tapers. You can find these timer tapers on our website by clicking the link down below.

This lamp will look great any where in your home. I hope you’ll get creative and give this a try.
