Try making this abstract lampshade
The following idea resembles the contemporary design you’ve seen before that was built with cocktail straws. The main differences are that this minimalist lamp is gold and has a different shape. To make it, you’ll need some twine and four hollow metallic tubes, which you can get at your local hardware store for a super low price.
The first step is to thread the twine through the tubes in order to connect them. Afterward, bend them to get the geometrical shape of your choice, and tie the ends of the string together. Once you’ve finished, you’ll be able to tell everyone that you made one of those trendy lampshades that are seen all over the Internet.
