It is a beauty. I think you may have this posted twice as I asked for a pic on another post. Initial thoughts would be to make a hanging mobile of sorts with some of your favorite things. You could use fun beads and clips and pics or maybe costume jewelry pieces of interest. You could turn it into a chandelier and add solar lighting jars hanging from it ?
You can make it into a base for a table ( https://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/garden/what-should-i-do-with-this-thing-up-cycling-an-old-lampshade-29726795? ), make it into a decorative basket ( https://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/rooms/new-life-for-a-busted-lamp-shade-with-chicken-wire--23834810 ). I am sure there are many more ideas, but these are a start. I'm sure it can be repurposed as a planter perhaps. Good luck. Please post pic when you decide what to do and it's finished!

...or a plant stand.
Thanks Nancy...Super idea
macramé the frame and then keep going down to make a plant hanger. or macramé and hang from ceiling to cover a light bulb.
It can be turned into a decorative chandelier with some beads like this.

I use them in the garden as plant supports to keep plants like peonies from flopping over when they grow. I anchor them in the ground with landscape staples early in the spring when the plants are just starting to come up.
buy a new one & use this frame to make a Christmas tree. See Ken Wyngards on Hallmarks Home & Family
