Hello, everybody! I’d like to show you how to reuse a flower basket. That basket was given as a present to my wife at her birthday. When flowers faded I decided to reuse the basket. I found that an old speaker, savaged from an old Soviet type TV-set, fitted well into the basket. The only thing I had to do was to add LEDs and do some wiring.
