How to Make a Modernist Bowl out of Construction Refuse
By erinloechner
From ReadyMade magazine via Design for Mankind:
GET IT:
Orange Construction Netting ($10)
NEED IT:
Ruler
Scissors
Wok Lid
Screwdriver
Aluminum Foil
Oven
3 Small Flower Pots
Oven Mitts
Newspaper
DO IT:
1. Cut two circles, 19" in diameter, out of contruction netting.
2. Remove the wooden knob of a wok lid and cover the outside with aluminum foil.
3. With the rack in the lowest position, set three small flowerpots in the center of your oven and place the lid on top.
4. Turn on the oven. When it hits 400 degrees, carefully center the two pieces of netting on top of the wok, overlapping each other.
5. With the over door closed and the light on, watch and wait! In a few minutes, the netting will begin to melt.
6. When the pieces drape completely over the wok lid, turn off the overn and remove the entire thing (flowerpots and all), and set it on a piece of newspaper.
7. Once cooled, pull the netting off the lid and SHAZAM... your basket.

I think it'd be a great mail basket if it did.
