Thought I would combine all my older posts and post my newest creations.

Plaster Castings
Suffering Bastard Lamp
PAD Inspired Swag/Float Lamps
New Ceiling in The Leloi lounge

I was in TJ Maxx last weekend and found this split bamboo Bottle/Vase thingy in the clearance aisle for $6 and thought it kinda looked like a fish trap. And then I found these woven waste baskets next door at the Dollar Tree.

So I cut the bottoms out, and cut some disks out of some plexi that had been left here when we moved in. I used some brown tinted Mod Podge to glue fabric to the disks. I stained the baskets darker & glued a couple layers of torn red tissue paper inside the bottle thing so the bulb wouldn't be visible. Then I hung a light fixture with pull cord inside the bottle, and rigged 2 small nightlight type fixtures and some takeout chopsticks into a frame and hot glued it inside the baskets, tying them together with twine.
So $8 and leftover crap later:
