Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Where did all of these toys come from?” It’s a question many parents ponder as toy collections seem to multiply mysteriously. Perhaps every time a left sock vanishes, a plastic figure takes its place! Cleaning out toy bins often leads to even more clutter—it’s a bizarre cycle.
If you’re looking to declutter those overflowing toy drawers, consider a fun DIY project rather than tossing them into the recycling bin. Donating is a great option, but sometimes toys are too worn out (or let’s be honest, destroyed) to pass along. A clever DIY lamp idea shared by a user on Imgur transforms old action figures into something unique and functional.
This crafty individual discovered a lamp at a thrift store and glued some action figures, like Avengers characters, to it. After a quick coat of primer, she finished it off with a splash of gold paint. How fantastic does that look? The creativity doesn’t stop there; just think of the adorable lamp you could make with those My Little Pony figures you have lying around!
Often, DIY projects sound easier than they are, but this one genuinely appears manageable for anyone. The original poster mentioned that the entire project cost her only $17—$2 for the lamp and $15 for the figures. So, if you’re a parent, you likely have most of this stuff on hand already.
For inspiration, check out similar themed lamps on sites like Etsy, where they can go for as much as $79. The good news? You can create your own masterpiece at home!
