DIY Light Fixtures - gorgeous & green!

Right now I have been perusing some DIY sites for light fixtures and other things that I can add to my home. I consider myself semi-crafty so I thought I could put some of my creativity to good use and save on decor by making some items myself. Also, a lot of these options are a way to reuse items that would otherwise be thrown away... and I'm a bit of a tree-hugger so this makes me extra happy! Feng shui?
I think so!

I especially love this light fixture made out of... EGG CARTONS from addicted2decorating.com! If I can get my hands on some blue cartons, I think this would look pretty awesome in my bedroom:



Another great concept is to embellish a plain lamp with felt, like the one from this design*sponge tutorial, and you can create something breathtaking like this:



And here is one more I found that details how to make a pendant lamp from recycled laundry detergent cups. Upcycling turns chic!



I will update as I attempt some of these homemade decorating ideas!
