Upcycled Lighting Ideas

I have written about repurposed lighting ideas before from inspirations I found while shopping out and about in retail stores.  I haven’t written about upcycled lighting ideas, however, from my internet shopping trips!  There are so many fantastic ideas out there… several I would have NEVER even dreamt of that I thought I’d put together another fun round-up of these interesting and repurposed creations.

Let’s start with the Kitchen!  OK so these first two aren’t for everyone, but I love the ingenuity of both vintage finds. (I apologize but I lost the source for the strainer light.  If you know it, please leave a comment so I can add it!)

These are Repurposed Spoon Pendant lights by Designer Francois Legault.

I love these Mason Jar lights from Etsy.

This birdcage chandelier is one of my favorites from Design Sponge.

This shabby chic pendant light is made from a basket.

Love these!  They are globes turned pendent lamps!

Can you believe that this floor lamp is made out of plastic knives?

These fun DIY liquor bottle lamps have step by step instructions of Tip Junkie.

Is this repurposed telephone a good idea or bad idea?

I saved the most creative for last (well, most creative to me anyway).  This pendant lamp is made out of 1960’s plastic camping chairs!

I hope these upcycled lighting ideas inspired to you to make your own!  What would you upcycle into a lamp???
