upside down and glue it to
the plate. Next, the large
plastic bowl (again, Mrs.
Snyder recommends a Cool
Whip bowl) is glued on,
facing upright. On top of this,
a saucer is placed upside
down and glued onto the
bowl.
The piece of junk to follow
next is a peanut butter jar
lid. This should be glued on
with the inside facing up
ward, so the grooves show.
And, finally, an aerosol can
lid with a center ring built on
the inside is placed open end
up on the top of the jar lid.
To create the effect of the
opening through which oil is
poured, a small bottle cap,
similar to one that comes
from an aspirin bottle, can
be glued open end down to
the edge of the saucer.
At this point, the junk lamp
is completely assembled, but
should be dried overnight
before painting.
The paint color used is
strictly a matter of choice,
says Mrs. Snyder. Any color
spray paint can be applied,
but flat black is the most
authentic-looking.
When the body is painted,
the last touches to be added
are a candle ring, a candle,
and a hurrican chimney.
Hurricane chimneys come in
a variety of designs, some
having a band of color or a
design etched onto the glass.
To insure that the globe fits
securely on the top of the
lamp, its base should fit
tightly into the jar pid.
A candle is then placed
inside the double center of
the aerosol can lid. The
candle can be almost any
color, and can be one of a
variety of widths. As long as
it fits in the lid, it is usable.
A candle ring is then
placed around the base. Mrs.
Snyder suggests cutting the
ring for ease in placing it
around the bottom of the
junk lamp.
While this procedure is the
basic to follow, various
combinations of jars and
bowls can be used. The shape
of the lamp desired deter
mines the containers used.

Longwood Gardens, Inc.
has recently published a
revised edition of the ex
clusive hard-bound text,
Longwood Gardens. This 94
page book covers the cir
cumstantial history of one of
the most outstanding display
gardens in this country,
Longwood Gardens.
The famed industrialist,
Pierre S. du Pont is largely
responsible for the splendor
of Longwood Gardens. He
purchased the property in
1906 primarily to save an old
arboretum from a lumbering
One helpful suggestion
Mrs. Snyder makes is to buy
small cans of spray paint
and then use the lids as the
candle holders. Also, she
notes that the first pieces of
junk which become depleted
are the plates and saucers.
These, she says, can be
purchased at various second
hand stores for as little as 10
cents a piece.
In total, the junk lamps
take only a few minutes to
construct, discounting the
time it takes for them to dry,
and the lamps make useful,
attractive centerpieces.
Costs vary on each one,
however. Depending on the
type of candle and candle
ring used,, the junk lamp
arrangement can range
anywhere from expensive to
cheap.
“I’ve bought candle rings
that cost anywhere from
$1.50 to $6, says Mrs. Snyder.
And, while she enjoys
making junk lamps, she also
has many other items which
she handcrafts and sells. At
Easter, for instance, she
creates string Easter eggs
which she fills with artificial
flowers and different scenes,
and at Christmas, she makes
miniature Christmas trees
out of thistles, among other
things.
Her junk lamps can be
made all year round,
however, since the wreaths
can be changed to vary with
the seasons.
So, the next time plastic
bowls start accumulating in
your kitchen, get rid of some
of the junk by making these
clever lamps.
Gardens releases book
operation. Originally 200
acres of farm and tim
berland, the property now
includes over 300 acres of
developed gardens, four
acres of gardens under
glass, and 700 acres of
meadow and woodland. Its
fountain system, landscaped
grounds and conservatories 1
rival those of the finest'
gardens m Europe.
The revised edition of
Longwood Gardens is
comprised of chiefly
photographs, some of which
are accompanied by ex
cerpts from various sources.
Eighty-six color illustrations
reveal many of Longwood’s
most popular attractions,
such as rare orchids of South
America, waterlilies, the
tropical terrace house, the
display, chrysan
themums in November, the
Christmas display in the
main conservatory and the
acacia passage in February.
Longwood Gardens may
be purchased from the In
formation Center at
Longwood Gardens.
Longwood Gardens is
located near Kennett
