How to make a Pac-Man ghost lamp

How to make a Pac-Man ghost lamp
In this instructable, I will show you how to make a Pac-Man ghost lamp.

To be precise, we will create small ghost lamp shades to turn a boring spotlight system into a great looking Pac-Man themed lamp.

You will need:
- plastic bottles with the right shape
- a lamp, preferably a halogen spotlight system
- some white and black plastic
- spray paint in red, pink, cyan and orange

Once you found the right bottles and a nice lamp, this project will take about 2 x 2 hours.

Step 1Finding the right bottle

Finding the right bottle
At first, you have to find a plastic bottle with the right shape. Unless your supermarket has a section for ghost shaped bottles, this will be a bit of a treasure hunt.

You are looking for a bottle that has a cylindrical shape with a round top. If you happen to be in Germany, you can look for the brand "Kneipp".

Buy one bottle for each ghost you plan to make, plus one or two spares, just in case.
