Why Use a Crystal Vase
Crystal vases are excellent for lighting projects because of their natural ability to reflect and scatter light. The cuts and shapes in the glass create a glowing effect when illuminated from the inside. This makes them ideal for creating a soft ambient lamp or festive table centerpiece.
Materials You Will Need

- A string of LED fairy lights or a small LED bulb
- Optional cork lamp base or a round base with socket
- Extension cord or USB power bank
- Light diffuser such as frosted plastic or thin fabric
- Decorative items like pine cones ornaments or snowflakes
Instructions to Create the Lamp

Wash the vase carefully inside and out Let it dry completely. - Insert Lighting
If you are using fairy lights carefully coil them inside the vase. Leave the wire hanging out through the back or bottom If using a bulb insert a lamp base that fits securely. - Diffuse the Light
Add a light diffuser around the bulb or lights inside the vase. This can be white cloth tissue or plastic It softens the brightness and spreads the light evenly. - Add Decorations Inside or Around
For a holiday theme you can drop small pine cones fake snow little ornaments or mini Christmas trees inside the vase. Or decorate the base with garlands and ribbon. - Place and Power
