How to Decorate Filled Clear Lamps

Clear glass lamp bases allow you to fill and decorate with whatever you'd like, creating a perfect one-of-a-kind accent in your home. You can find glass lamps at craft stores, lamp shops, sometimes even at garage sales or thrift stores. Once you have your lamp, decorating is limited only by what you can fit inside, and your imagination. Top your lamp with whatever lamp shade looks best in your room.
