DIY Hanging Lamp from a Wastebasket

By Inspired By This

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:

 

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!
