Grocery Bag Pendant Lamp
A Grocery-Bag-Hack that is so stylish! Make a unique pendant lamp with the humble paper bag and see how beautifully it lights up!
Start with 2 paper grocery bags - that's all you need. Open them up, remove the handles and get them ready for folding.
I made a folding pattern and diagram you can download from the link at the end of this article, just follow along and make some folds.
After folding the 2 sections, join them together with glue or double sided tape.
Thread a piece of twine or yarn at the top and gather it into a gorgeous lampshade!
Transform a plain pendant cord into an unique one with sisal rope.
See how small it can become? Great for storage!
Use LED light bulbs that generate very little heat, so no worries of fire, and a 7.5 LED watt bulb can light up like a 40 watt conventional bulb.

i thought it as very interesting but still can't figure out how to get the design like you have it but just placing one of the according folded paper on top of the other ,we can't get what looks like something that comes out the V shape,
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I too can't find the folding link and would really like to try this great idea.
Did you wrap the cord in twine?
could it get too hot from light bulb causing a fire hazard? Love it.
