Flameless Candle Decals
All you need to turn battery-operated pillars into the very epitome of a bright idea: our free filament-bulb illustrations and waterslide decal paper ($5.95 for 3 8½"W x 11"L sheets; amazon.com). Download the images of your choice and resize them, as necessary, to fit your candles. Print each image onto a sheet of decal paper and cut out. Following the package instructions for the paper, transfer the image to your candle; let set for 30 minutes. Apply a coat of protective sealant (Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Spray, $6.61 for 6 oz.; amazon.com), and allow five minutes of drying time before flicking the candle on.

Lampshade-Frame Cocktail Tables
This project, featured in Juliette Goggin and Stacy Sirk's book Junk Genius ($29.95; Cico), offers a smart way to upcycle cast-off lampshades—usually no more than $10 to $20 apiece at flea markets.
Step 1: Using scissors or an X-Acto knife, remove and discard all the fabric from your lampshade.
Step 2: Working in a well-ventilated area, apply two coats of white spray paint to the frame, allowing 30 minutes of drying time after each coat (Rust-Oleum All-Surface aerosol paint, $6.98 for 12 oz.; homedepot.com).
Step 3: Have a professional cut safety glass sized to either the same diameter as your frame's bottom or up to four inches wider; this typically costs from $50 to $70 for an 18- to 24-inch diameter piece. Apply a layer of strong-bonding clear epoxy along the top edge of the lampshade frame, following package instructions (Beacon's Glass, Metal & More glue,$6.19 for 2 oz.; amazon.com). Carefully center the glass atop the frame. Let dry for 24 hours before resting anything atop your repurposed masterpiece.

Mini Domes
Upend ordinary glassware as display domes.
To create these super-adorable mini cloches, raid your kitchen. We used (from left) a tumbler ($2.50; cb2.com), a stemless wineglass ($12.99 for four; libbey.com), and a canning jar ($21 for six; weckjars.com). Glue an iron lamp finial—like a tree (from $12.50; coloradodallas.com for stores)—to the bottom of each container with a thin coat of E6000 Multipurpose Adhesive ($3.99 for .5 ounces; joann.com). Let harden for an hour before enclosing tiny treasures underneath.
