Some of the ceiling light shades can be reused as fruit bawls.

Turn the lampshade up side down, attach a bottom made out of sturdy material and you have a cute trash can for an office.

Either sell them (free ads) on our web site, or offer them to Guy Trench 07710 021010 who makes new lamps from reused objects like fishing rods but never has old lampshades to fit on the top.

Put some mesh over the smaller opening and use over plates and bowls of food next time you eat outdoors – it will keep the flies off. Get rid of the finial (if any) and attach something more solid on the small end; flip over and use as a pencil cup or wastepaper basket, depending on the size. Stretch leather over both ends and see how it plays as a drum. Glue a few together in a stack (if the sizes match up well enough) and string fairy lights inside for an artistic “mood” light fixture – place on the floor or hang from a hook in the ceiling.
