Teacup Light instructions
(as seen in The Tea House Times)

Create this lovely lamp with your old teacups. The lamp casts a soft glow
as the light shines through the bone china, illuminating the design both inside and out.

Drill holes in bottoms of teacups and saucer. "Lamp" teacup and saucer must be large enough to pass lamp tubing through. "Lampshade" teacup must be just large enough for finial post.
Assemble lamp parts so that harp top is just tall enough so that when 'shade' teacup is placed on top it just touches 'lamp' teacup. Attach socket, insert light bulb, attach 'shade' teacup.
