DIY: Upcycle Plastic Into DROP Lampshade
Finally I’m able to show you another upcycle design lampshade I made. I’ve tried lots of designs, none of them gave me the result I was looking for. I don’t know if you recognize this, but sometimes you’ve got an idea and you don’t know how to realize it. It is a matter of trying and keep on trying. The thing is, I wanted to make a simple lampshade out of two dark blue plastic boxes I had.
Well here's the finished product together with a tutorial on how to make the 'DROP' lampshade yourself. If you've got some sturdy plastic laying around, you're set to go!
Full post with material list and photos are on my blog:

So cool, @Gilbert!

If I ever find any such plastic, I think I'd try making it with smaller shapes and reverse the orientation so that I could use this on a table lamp rather than a hanging one using the finial to fasten the top (bottom of the one shown) together.
