This DIY takes a basic household item you wouldn’t normally gravitate to and turns it into a great decorative DIY hanging lamp! By taking an unused wastebasket you can create a hanging lamp perfect for any space. Simply by cutting a hole in the top and hanging a string light bulb through it, you can create an unexpected (and cheap!) light fixture!
Supplies:
- Wire wastebasket
- Wire cutters
- Light bulb
- Light bulb cord
Instructions:
Step 1: Use the wire cutters to cut a hole in bottom of the wastebasket. Make sure the hole is not too big, so the lip of the cord won’t slip through it.
Step 2: String the cord from the inside of the wastebasket through the hole.
Step 3: Screw the light bulb into the cord.
Step 4: Pick where you want your lamp, hang it, and voila!
