Coffee Cup Lampshade



You know all those coffee cups that litter your desk at work? You know how you keep meaning to take your own mug to the coffee shop in a bid to help the environment? You know how you feel guilty every time you throw a paper cup in the bin? Well now you don't have to: you can turn your empty coffee cups into a lamp instead.

So, how do you make it? First, you need to wait until you have 300 cups. That's a whole lot of coffee, though if you're anything like me, it should only take you a few weeks. Then you staple three cups together to form your base, build on and on and on until all but one of the cups are added. Because of the way the cups taper, you'll end up with a sphere-shape anyway. Take the last cup and burn a hole in the bottom. Attach the bulb fixture through this hole, add bulb and you're away!
