You don't need a lampshade but do you need light somewhere? What type of shade is it?🙂
What shape is the shade? If it's a drum shape then you could take out the metal rods that the finial attaches to and turn it into a planter.

Hello Terry,
Cut out two Discs in suitable material (Board etc) Place one on top and fix it down (Glue) . Fill it with goodies. Add a Knob handle to centre and place disk on top as lid. Decorate to taste.
I like the idea of turning it into a lampshade into a basket.
