Use the small wire cutters to cut away the fiber and connecting threads inside the socket circle you drew on - leaving the threads sticking into the empty circle about 3/8". Use a thin marker or pen to trace the socket circle onto the basket. You can use your ruler if you'd like to confirm that it's centered - by measuring from the edge of the socket threads to the edge of the bottom in all four directions (North, South, East, West, or every 90 degrees). Place the socket threads over the center mark (there usually is one) of the basket bottom. This one requires only hand tools, no power drill. We'll start with the easiest and most low tech one, the natural fiber basket. But don't worry, it's easy to achieve this in almost all shapes and materials of potential shades. If we aren't precise about the location of the hole, the shade will be off kilter/tilted. In order to transform a found object into a shade, we need to make a hole in the 'dead center' of it's top, large enough for the socket to go through.

If you're making your own cord set, I recommend putting the line switch 2' from the plug – but of course feel free to put it wherever along the cord will be most convenient for you based on where it will be hanging.
