I have been tinkering around and fixing up old lamps lately. Apparently, you can transform almost anything into a lamp with some imagination, a hanging light kit and some items you would never think would be associated with a lamp. The lamp projects below are some of my favorites.
Also, if you need some help on how to re-wire a lamp, check out this Apartment Therapy post.

This is a beautiful collection of lights. I’ve always loved the cage light — so gorgeous. I too have been learning that creating your own lights really isn’t that hard, and it cost effective and fun

Awesome finds! I love the look of the paper cup lamp.
My husband just turned a globe into a desk lamp: http://www.salvagedspaces.com/2012/03/diy-you-light-up-my-world.html
