Hat Box Lamp Shade

I picked up the hat box at a 2nd hand store and found a lamp to match while I was at it to re-purpose the hat box into a lamp shade. The project was easy enough to do in just a few hours with the main tool being a power drill for the holes on top.
DIY Hat Box Lamp Shade
Find a lamp that matches in both proportion and style to the hat box.
Place the lid onto the bottom or the hat box, or cut out the bottom of the box.
Drill holes into the top of the lid for air vents and mounting.
Create a pie style template on the lid and mark for drill holes.
