3 black metal wire wastebaskets

Place the first wastebasket on the countertop, open side up.

Stack the second wastebasket upside down on top of the first one, aligning their rims precisely.

Secure the baskets together at three equidistant points around the rim using white zip ties. Ensure they are tightly bound.

Repeat the stacking and securing process with the third wastebasket, again aligning and tying them together.

Once the baskets are securely stacked, trim the excess ends of the zip ties for a neat finish.

Place the LED tealight candles inside the top wastebasket for a warm, ambient glow.

Optionally, position the entire stack on a small tray to add stability and an extra touch of style.

To add a splash of color, consider spray painting the wire baskets in a metallic hue like gold or silver before assembling them. For a more personalized touch, wrap the joint areas with decorative fabric or ribbon instead of zip ties. If you prefer a taller structure, add more baskets to the stack. Alternatively, use colored LED lights to create different lighting effects, enhancing the mood and theme of your space.
