Don't forget this pendant lamp makeover. I was seriously impressed. It's easy an inexpensive to boot!

Also check out Jane's Ikea hack. She covered the entire lamp shade with vintage holiday ornaments.

Thanks for the link to Dan's Instructable for the quadrilaterals lamp. I saw a kit to make a lamp like that on etsy but it was sold out; and the shipping from Europe killed the thrill. Now I can make my own and repurpose my plastic milk jugs at the same time!
