Craft Recycled: Upcycled Lamp from a Wire Waste Basket

Craft Recycled: Upcycled Lamp from a Wire Waste Basket

By Becky Striepe on February 8, 2012

They used strips of fabric, but you could also use yarn or grouped strands of embroidery thread – this is a great project for busting that fiber stash.
