Something Interesting About Me:: I'm mostly a private investor with equal parts sports junkie, car enthusiast, media hound, kite flier, sweet tooth sufferer, and workout advocate.

My First Lava Lamp was:: My first Lava Lamp? I remember my parents bought me one back in the mid 60's. I believe it had red lava, but I don't recall other details. I'm sure I was mesmerized by the flow...

See how it fits under the lamp. You want it to be the same size as the bottom, just a tad smaller though because the glass is about 1/8" thick. It will be bigger than the spring in there for sure, but too big and it won't fit the bottom. You will see - really easy :)

Keep doing it until you have a good amount of spacing between the springs and when you bend it to make the circle, make sure its the correct diameter. If it gets too big, compress the spring back together. Will take a couple tries to squish it back in case you stretch it too much so try not to do that. Other than that, pretty easy.

1 pack does 2 lamps (2 springs per pack). Which reminds me, I forgot to go get new springs. :)
