This is the spool lamp that i made after seeing one in an antique store for a lot of money. I got a 2 qt. canning jar that was my grandmothers from my aunt. Then i got my wooden spools that came from my great-aunts house when i cleaned it out after she passed away. Some of the spools still had thread on them which was neat. I wrapped the lamp shade with strips of fabric that i ripped and glued them on the shade. i wrapped the rest of the spools with leftover strips. bought a lamp kit from Lowes and had DH modify it to fit and i have a neat lamp with lots of memories and very little money. It sits on my treadle sewing machine that belonged to my great-aunt( same one i got the spools from-she didnt throw anything away)
