Remember Halogen Floor Lamps?

We had one but it died a couple of years ago.


So, I took off the bulb cage by unscrewing the tiny bolts

Object 1: Bulb Cage


Took out the bottles of old nailpaint at hand

Object 2: Nail-paint


Painted the bulbcage with nailpaint and what do have here

+ =


A Shining Jewelry Hanger!

Bulbcage + Nailpaint = Chindogu


So, now you know. Using two unrelated objects to create something, hopefully, useful is called Chindogu.

Just in case you wondered what happened to the rest of the floor lamp

Here is the happy ending of that story ...


Bulb is removed, the torchiere is cleaned

This is what the top looks like without the bulb and cage

Two 2.5” long stumps, which will be used for, well, you'll see!


I pulled out the cable from inside and cut it off. Now I had the bare column with top and base .

Removed first two parts of this column

And what do I get

Cage Removed

Base intact

Joined top with the lowest section


A Tissue Holder!


Upcycling all done!

From a Broken Floor Lamp → To a Fully Functional Tissue-holder →


Thank you for your time!

The silly idea of this product and the pics, except one on slide 3 (borrowed from 'net)are mine, so are the mistakes anywhere in this presentation

So please do let me know, what do you think!
