Take one of these...
and one of these...
add one of these...
and of course one of these...
and you get one of these... 
a junk marriage if you will... sorry this one is mine but you can totally copy this for yourself... you'll need an old floor lamp base, a crusty ceiling fixture, a tart tin and of course a candle.
Enjoy...

Fantastic for a centerpiece, I used to have tons of those old lamp bases but being as heavy as they are they were the first thing to go when I moved.
SAD:(

Hope you are doing well and enjoying the summer.

Hi Shelley!
this is so cute!
I love this idea. Upcycling instead of recycling...You could never find or buy anything with this cool of a patina!
Have a wonderful evening!
Blessings my friend,
