Lady inverts an old glass lampshade. This unexpected thrift flip is suddenly everywhere

Old glass lampshade (12 inches in diameter)
Glass cleaner
Microfiber cloth
Adhesive felt pads
Decorative items of choice (e.g., potpourri, decorative spheres)

Start by thoroughly cleaning the old glass lampshade with glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to remove any dust or residue.

Once the lampshade is clean and dry, place it upside down on a flat surface.

Apply adhesive felt pads to the rim of the lampshade to prevent scratching surfaces when it is used as a bowl.

Style the inverted lampshade bowl by filling it with decorative items of your choice, such as potpourri or decorative spheres.

Position the decorative bowl in your desired location, ensuring it complements the surrounding decor.

To personalize your inverted glass lampshade bowl, consider experimenting with different shapes and sizes of lampshades for varied effects. You can paint the exterior of the lampshade with glass paint to add color or use stencils to create patterns for a more bespoke look. For a festive touch, fill the bowl with seasonal decorations such as pinecones in winter or seashells in summer. If you prefer a more rustic style, consider using a metal lampshade instead of glass and finish it with a distressed paint technique.
