One of the first lampshades I made using plastic milk cartons is the MilkShell. And now I’m happy to show you a new and bigger version, 48 cm. diameter, of that lampshade. Named ‘MilkShell2’ and again made out of leftovers from producing other upcycle lamshades.
After cutting up all these cartons I ended up with the top part, a middle part and the bottom. For this design, like the original MilkShell, I used the top part, but in such a way that you wouldn’t recognize the milk carton right away. And I hope I succeeded in doing so.
