How about a lampshade made from egg cartons that gently illuminates your space at night? First, prepare three egg cartons and staple them together to form a triangle.

Cut cardboard to create the top of the shade and make a hole in the center for an LED pendant light to pass through.

Then attach the remaining egg cartons to the outside to complete a unique design.

Finally, add a cord and hang it up—done.

The soft light diffused by the carton material creates a gentle glow with a touch of nostalgia.

Despite being made from repurposed materials, it has a refined presence that makes a striking accent for your interior.

It’s a charming idea that brings calm to your evenings.
