When I moved to my new appartment, the last thing I was thinking of was the lighting. After spending a great deal of money for furnitures, there was nothing left for the really nice JSPR designer lamp that I desired. This is why I tried to find a way to create a lampshade like this on my own. In this post I would like to share with you my easy DIY 4 step approach.

1. Source of inspiration

DIAMONDS by JSPR & my DIY Inspiration pinboard

2. Materials needed

 Plastic tubes: 2,99€ / (25cm x 150 = 3750 cm) =  0,34€ per lampshade / 2 x (6 x 5cm  + 18x 10 cm) = 420 cm)

 Hot Glue Gun sticks: 9,61€ / 20 pieces = 0,48€ per lampshade / 1 piece

 Nylon thread: 2,42€ / 100m = 0,12 / ~5m

Total cost per lampshade = 0,94€ (excl. Hot Glue Gun, lamp holder)

 Where to find:
