New Life for a Busted Lamp Shade With Chicken Wire.
by
Vee Ashburn
3 Materials
This was a very nice shade till the cat knocked over the lamp and busted the bracket. So I love the shape and needed a basket.
Finish removing the broken bracket.
Strip all the fabric and glue from the wire frame.
Cut chicken wire for the bottom, leaving extra wire to wrap around the fram.
I cut panels as I went, 5 total. Large side and small pannel in one piece. Securing each as I worked my way around.
Wrap and secure all loose and poking wires.
Now fill and decorate!!!
