Wastebaskets as Lampshades?

By DIY Maven

The Artala Waste Baskets ($18 each) by Umbra are too interesting to be wastebaskets. Available in red, ocean blue and kiwi, the 14"h x 10"d baskets could make marvelous hanging lampshades for some moody lighting. HGTV’s Wastebasket Chandelier project could be adapted to make a pendant!

I have the blue one at home and may try this as a weekend project....on the fence about potentially ruining the garbage can, though...the problem is, the wastebasket is just a little too large for our bedroom or bathroom, and I don't want to hide it away...I'll post the pics if the project happens and is a sucess...It would, indeed look pretty wicked hanging in our loft bedroom...
