I wanted to make a simple lampshade out of two discarded dark blue plastic boxes I had. After cuttting out pieces I started joining them by using eyelets. This way I was able to create strips from the plastic pieces, with a certain length so they would give the lampshade a different look. In the end I fixed all 10 strips at one of the ends with a small bolt and nut. The other 10 strips I attached to a lamp frame. And that’s it. Well all in all it’s a reasonable easy lampshade to make.
