No, I’m not kidding! That’s really a globe turned into a lampshade and I gotta admit, the idea is totally knock-off. Don’t worry, it’s not that difficult to make. You gotta cut it, do some fiddling with wires, bulbs and screwdrivers and you’d manage just fine. As you can see, you gotta cut that globe in half. Do you know what means? It means you get two knock-off lampshades! How about doing some clay work? Intrigued? Then have a look here. 

Globe Cloche

Hey, if you need just one lampshade then don’t be in a haste to throw away the other half of the globe. Just fix in a drawer pull on the top of the globe and you’d get a cool globe cloche. Oh, and it will keep those nasty bugs away from your food. Total win-win! Just like these globes, make sure you reuse that old cardboard boxes as well.
