DIY: How to Make Your Own Upcycle MilkWheel Lampshade
Here’s another lampshade I’m adding to the other design lampshades I made. Again it’s a design that uses discarded plastic milk cartons.
After making some upcycle lampshades using the side parts of the milk cartons, all the top parts where left. So I had to do something with them, just like the bottom part [see the next DIY lampshade]. So after some trial and error I came to this lampshade I call 'MilkWheel'. It's a lampshade that can be used as a pendant or floorlamp.
You can find a full post about the MilkWheel with material list and photos on my blog:

Really cool!

How clever and original! Did not even realise at first it was milk bottles - what a creative use of what would normally be trash or go in the recycle bin.
