DIY: Lighting fixture

Paper, plastic bags, coffee filters or anything crossing your mind can be used for creating a modern and original light fixture. Great idea for do-it-yourself project. Rounded, fluffy, interesting pendants to create a statement in your home. Allison Patrick @ Zipper8Lighting shop on etsy, creates lovely light fixtures (not so budget-friendly though) out of round paper lanterns made from...

    That light with the plastic bags is awesome. I'd be afraid they'd melt from the light, but it still looks awesome!
