Butter Tub Lamp

I decided I didn't want to simply recycle my old butter tub, but wanted to figure out something to do with it. So, here it is...simple process that should take no more than an hour or so, and you will have a new, low wattage lamp.

What you will need:
(1) Butter Tub, empty and washed out
(1) PVC extension (1 1/4" x 6")
(1) Pull chain bulb holder
An old power cable from another deceased electronic device
Electrical tape
Length of spare wire(no longer than 6")
An old lamp shade

Step 1 Making way for the PVC

Using the Pvc pipe as a template, cut a hole in the lid, making it as close to center as possible

You could add some weight inside the tub to make it less top heavy, if that's a problem. Seems like it would fall over easily because the bottom is hollow. Nice idea though.

It seems to be fine, although I have been toying with the idea of adding a weight of some sort to the base...just didn't have much time to be able to play around with what I could use...thank you for the compliment and suggestion:)
