Dollar Store Wastepaper Basket Turned Pendant Light
by
TheKimSixFix
I wanted the vintage look and feel of a hanging wire basket lights for my outdoor pergola, but I didn't want the big price tag that went with the commercially available versions.
When I found $1 wire wastebaskets I knew I could get the perfect look. By cutting a whole in the bottom of the basket and adding a simple lamp kit ($7) I was able to replicate the vintage fixture for a fraction of the price.

I like the inspiration lamp the best. In fact I have 2 purple ones in home now, they might make neat covers for my spot lights in my bedroom (purple & white).
