The art of gift wrapping. Some people take great pride when wrapping up their packages for the holidays, others find it daunting. These days, the cost of gift wrap can get pretty expensive, so when you cheat on the cost a little, all the better, right? I had this pretty tartan fabric covered lamp shade that I knew I wouldn't use anywhere in my home and put it to the challenge for this month's Junk Revision challenge of "unexpected gift wrap."
Tartan lamp shade upcycled as a Christmas gift basket.
The tartan lamp shade was in good shape and just the right size to work as a gift basket.
-Certain lamp shades might work better than others for this project. I found that a lamp shade with the "light bulb clip" works well if you flatten the clips out.
Enjoyed the project?
