We hardly ever drink bottled water, but if we did we'd save up the caps and make this beautiful lampshade. Beach Petals blog shows us how:
It takes 128 frosted white mineral water bottle caps. A printable template will show you where to punch the holes for threading. The result is a ghostly, diffuse light that's much more than the sum of its parts. See the full how-to at Beach Petals.

Does this look like hung condoms to anyone else?
Please don't say "hung" and condoms" in the same sentence. I get all distracted.
haha! dearly, i'm so glad i wasn't the first one to say it, but YES!
Yes. I thought they were condoms until I read the description. Beautiful is not what comes to mind when I see this.
is there a picture of the whole thing? not getting enough context here.
No worries, I too thought of condoms but the "hung" part made me giggle!
my photograph-viewing depth perception is off... I saw condoms, too.
maybe a larger-scale photo (instead of a close-up) would be better?
/blush. I never said I think before i type!
Hurray for all of us having dirty minds though?
