Simple Ikea-hack lamp

Step 2Make or buy a shade for it.

Make or buy a shade for it.
My shade is a memento from my childhood, so I have no idea where to get one just like it. As long as your shade is similar dimensions and can rest on the globe without changing shape, you should be fine. The dimensions of my shade are:

8.75" high
5.125" inner diameter at top
18.25" inner diameter at bottom

You shouldn't need to know the outer diameters, but here they are:
6" outer diameter at top
19.125" outer diameter at bottom

Place the shade on the globe and you're done!
