Be sure to use paper that is not going to catch fire. I put wax paper on this and you can find waxy backed paper in craft stores. Don't use a light sorce that is going to get too hot. Here are the steps I took to make the lamp. This is free for personal use. Please to not sell my designs. : )

| This is a template so I can make several quicly. The squares for this one are 2 1/4 " X 2 1/4" with 1 1/2" tabs that are 1/2" thick. |
 |
| I forgot to add a tab in the picture here so adding a tab on the left or right will help later. |
 |
| I added wax paper to the back and you can see it hanging down from the bottom. |
 |
| I used a ruler to fold the edges and give a nice clean fold. |
 |
| I used masking tape to attach the two back sides. Its not pro but it doesn't look bad. |
 |
| Taped the flaps and just let it hang off the bulb lose. |
 |
| All done. The key here is wax paper or some other paper with a waxy back. No hot bulbs. Paper can catch on fire and then I would feel really bad. Hope you have fun making this project. |
