Trash to Treasure: Baskets

Hanging Light
Embellish a white basket with crystals or glass beads and add a light kit.

Lamp
Stack three baskets in graduating sizes and wire them through the middle for a casual lamp for a side table.

Side Table
Use two matching baskets to make a small side table. Either attach the bottoms with screws or glue. Cut a piece of particleboard to fit the interior of the top basket; paint or stain then secure with small nails.
