This was a school project of mine for this term.
The main point of this project was create a D.I.Y furniture and instruct people how to do that.
The majority of the lightshader is made of 100gr bristol and 300 gr craft paper. I love using this stuff to make things It's strong (as a paper) and stable and very easy to cut - and it's made of a renewable resource! You may use it with standard lamps (35w -40w etc) and It is easy to mount on a holder

What needs to be done? Or, is there a way to use more commonly found file types? It's very aggravating.
but would you mind letting somebody else write the text for you
sorry again
As for the 'ible, I like the idea, it reminds me one of my former ideas of a small polyhedral moodlight for my desk.
One thing only: the shade is a bit tight, the bulb is a bit close to the paper and since there is no airflow, a 30-40 W incandescent bulb could heat up pretty quickly, potentionally setting the whole thing on fire. I would rather use a compact flourescent lamp or even more so, an RGB LED lamp. Also, one of the big triangle sides could be made of some stronger material and be used to secure the socket for the bulb.
