  • How to make a hanging light. Plastic Cup Hanging Lamp - Step 1
    Step 1

    Start with two cups, staple them side by side. Keep that up. Add another cup staple side by side.. After a while it should form a round shape. You can be as neat or as messy with it as you want, it adds a personal touch to it.

  • Step 2

    Next, attach the lamp to it, This part is tricky, we had to figure out what to do with the lamp piece . hang it from a wire and onto your ceiling! :D

I made this lamp a few months ago and it hasn't showed any signs of melting. I cut a large cardboard square to place between the lamp and that part that it attaches to for hanging. It seems to absorb the heat enough that we haven't had any issues.
