DIY Miniature Desk Lamp

Had an idea for making a desk lamp.  So I gathered the parts, an old paint lid, a paper clip and a game piece.

I glued them together but had to add a button and washer to balance the weight of the lid.

Then I painted it gold.  Its a bit larger than I wanted.  I may give it to my girls for their Barbie toys because I think its size suits 1:6th scale better, we'll see.
