...InsPINation... / What a pretty way to store an extra roll! love it!! A bit of green :: Crafts :: Plastic Cup Lamp. Now that my university is closed for winter holidays, I finally have more free time to do all the crafty things I’ve been wanting to. One of these is a lamp made from plastic cups I’ve seen at taf, the art foundation, in the Monastiraki region in the center of Athens. When I first saw it at taf, I was amazed; I looked closely and I couldn’t believe my eyes! The object itself is so peculiar, modern and alien-like it could be in any design exhibition. With my best friend’s birthday coming up, I decided to make it myself and give it to her as a gift. It turns out it was the easiest craft I’ve even done, the epitome of DIY objects! Disclaimer: There have been some concerns about the safety of this construction (see the comment of user “when” below for example).
We only use this lamp when we’re at home, so we have it under surveillance. I only needed a couple of things: That’s all you will need. Start stapling the cups together as shown. Staple again and again and again… …to this! Diy and Crafts.
