What You Need
Wire wastebasket
Wire cutters
Light bulb
Light bulb cord
Directions
1. Use the wire cutters to cut a hole in bottom of the wastebasket. Make sure the hole is not too big, so the lip of the cord won’t slip through it.
2. String the cord from the inside of the wastebasket through the hole.
3. Screw the light bulb into the cord.
4. Pick where you want your lamp, hang it, and light up the room!
