DIY Wastebasket Pendant Lamp

You know you’re a slave to the Target Dollar Spot. Just like every other red-blooded woman in America. Target Dollar Spot is the place where you can load up on all the things you don’t need. Except for the wastebasket used into today’s DIY. This wastebasket is a must have. It’s costs THREE DOLLARS, friends. And for the low, low price of THREE DOLLARS, you can be on your way to a showstopper pendant lamp that is DIYable in a matter of minutes! Let me show you how it’s done.

STEP ONE:

Remove the floral bloom from its plastic stem. Just pull it off.

STEP FOUR

Insert the glue-end of the wire into the hole in the bottom of the faux flower bloom. Let the glue dry completely

STEP FIVE:

Add a little more glue along the edge of the wire and flower. This will make sure everything is securely in place.

STEP SIX

Wrap the floral wire around the edge of the wastebasket. Continue doing this all around the wastebasket until the complete edge is full of flowers.
