Thrifty Decor Idea Of The Week #4

Photo from HGTVGardens.com

We've all seen cast-off light fixtures like this at yard sales or in thrift stores, so keep your eyes open and you can make a lovely terrarium for just a few dollars.  Just think how pretty this would look as a centerpiece on your dining table or outside on a patio table.  Or how about a Christmas gift for someone you love (yeah, yeah, I know, but it's really not too early to be thinking about that)?  Get the directions here:

Turn an old light fixture into a beautiful terrarium!

Barb - This would be great with a flame-less candle under it as a center piece! Great ideas for the upcoming holidays, and a fun way to make something for not a lot of money!

Barb - these are great, inexpensive decorating ideas.  I especially love the idea from Week #1.  The fabric panel headboard adds such a great touch to a bedroom.  Thanks for sharing.

This is a fantastic idea. I'm really into repurposing older or unused items and this would be the perfect addition to almost any home.

I love terrariums. They look so pretty and it's such a good use for older light fixtures!

That is a wonderful suggestion!  There are so many options with this, you can customize the frame color and plants to compliment the decor.  Thanks for the ideas!

Karen, I just found a couple more of these for $3 each at a yard sale - I am going to try them with a bronze frame color and see if I can find some little artificial greenery so I can use them in places with very low light (like my office :)

Bernadine, thanks for your comment - these are so easy to find, and dirt cheap - seems like everyone had light fixtures like this they are getting rid of, so finding the "supplies" is really easy.
