I broke a little lamp, but kept the lampshade. I just love wicker too much I guess.
Total Time: 10 minutes
Supplies:
1 lampshade of your choice ($.50)
5-6 faux flowers ($.50)
1 lid to create a bottom ($0.00)
1 wire cutters ($0.00)
1 scissors
hot glue gun
Steps:
Pop the lid into the top (now the bottom) of the shade. If you don't have a perfect lid, use a plastic piece of butter tub lid or sour cream lid. Hot glue it if you have to, it won't show.

Invert shade and insert your flowers. I chose fall colors, but now I can swap it out for the other seasons, poinsettias, daisies, and summer carnations. N-JOY!!
