Due to the age & condition of this lamp, I wasn't able to just screw it back together. I used Quick Grip to glue the main portion of my lamp / candleholder to the base.

Full step-by-step tutorial here!

With the glue on, I placed the main part of my candleholder.

Finally, glue the portion of the lamp that held the part that held the light bulb on top to hold the candlestick. If you're using a wider candle, you can find a part of the lamp that will hold that.
