An alien-abduction lamp. From dollar-store materials. Is that cool, or what?
I found it (and directions for making it) here.
And I found that in an article about “dollar-store culture”. Egads. Only the New York Times could discover that it’s trendy to be poor.
This is not the only cool homemade lamp I’ve seen lately. I’ll soon be blogging about one I received. Very creative …


If all you can afford is china-mart cheap, might as well make it a dollar store instead of walmart. About 60% of my actual groceries come from the local Family Dollar (they don’t sell fresh food). It saves me time and dollars over Wal-Mart. Smaller store, slightly lower prices, less impulse shopping equals savings.
I LOVE that alien abduction lamp!
Thanks for linking! Glad you enjoyed my lamp! We had fun making it.
I saw a slightly larger version of that at a con-it had a Ken doll in it instead of the cow….
