Bowling Pin lamp

 Hope every one had a wonderful holiday !  I know I did.
 I wanted to share a project we did , some time back. I always loved the look of an old used bowling pin .

 And I always talked about making a lamp out of one someday.  Finally, I found one in a second hand store  for $ 1.00.  I than went to my friendly Home Depot and bought a lamp kit, $ 6.95. Than off to Dollar general for a $5.00 shade. I had my husband drill a hole up the middle of the pin ( please secure pin tightly, before drilling ). I than assembled the lamp kit parts into lamp as per directions, and added a plastic lid turned upside down, cutting a hole for cord. Added the black shade and here it is .
