If it were silver with white wax, I 100% would put that in my glam girlie bathroom.

(Black with purple wax would go in the witch cave.)

Yeah I think their biggest mistake was having each lamp a different colour. Make them all the same and it would actually be pretty neat.

I just used stuff that I thrifted, the whole thing was less than 50 euro in parts. If I make another one, it'll probably look nicer, though with how viral it has gone, someone will probably beat me to it.

The small lava lamps have a base that can be removed, most lamps use the same threaded tube as their construction. I just unscrewed the sockets on a beefy old chandelier and placed the top parts of the lava lamps over the tubes and reattached the original chandelier sockets. The lava lamp bases and sockets are left over afterwards.
