Materials: Skurar pots
Description: I've made two pendant lamps of two tin-pots named Skurar. I drilled a hole in the bottom and put a small lampholder with a cord through the hole. Then a connection-box to connect the two cords. But, since the Skurar pots is not tested to use as a lamp, you have to use energy-saving-lamps (CFL?) so it doesn't get too hot in the tin-pot!

Erik's version of the Skurar pendant lampDescription: My mother bought some white Skurar plant pots for her kitchen window and wanted new pendant lamps aswell.
I came up with the idea of turning Skurar plant pots into pendant lamps.
Turn the plant pot upside down, drill a hole at the pot bottom (now top...) and attach a lamp holder with a cable to it - voila! ;)
A very easy way to get matching pots and lamps! :)

These are so innovative! They'd fit in perfectly with a post I wrote recently on doily DIY ideas. :)

(and my Rose lamp in the bedroom, as you could see it last Friday here : http://www.ikeahackers.net/2011/08/roses-in-light-double-hack.html?show)
I think, this Skurar pot models are created first of all for lamps ;-)
Love these...especially at night. The delicate lace feel on the bottom is beautiful.
