You can Drill a hole down through 3 of them (depending on size you want finished project) and make a lamp out of them.  You turn them so they are not lined up, looking like a randomly stacked pile of books.  Then you drill the hole all the way through, thread the lamp rod down the middle and then run wiring.  It looks really cool.  There are lots of ideas at the bottom of this page.  http://indianblogger.com/expensive-products-from-junk-i/

I LOVE your doily lamp!!!  I am going to have to see about getting this done for my girls' room.    Thanks for the inspiration!

This picture is PRECIOUS!  Love the color you caught.  I wanted to point  out that the ad I saw underneath your picture was  "Make your own buttons!"      Belly buttons!  Haha!  Thanks for sharing this sweetness.

Here is my attempt.  I am planning to use white eyelet to finish the bottom and for the top.  Just need to go to Joann's.  Also, I've got dress #2 already started and number 3 and 4 shirts already deconstructed.  I need to find more kids to dress.
