First go to goodwill/salvation army or your Grandma's basement and get an old lamps shade such as this one::::
Cut off all the lining etc. It will just be a metal base. Do your best when your shopping to check and make sure for a 'non' rusty lamp shade. Paint it whatever color you want!!! I used a paint like I use on my canvases.
Then go to Lows and find a construction light (around 6 bucks). Take of all the metal pieces and clamps.
Once your lamp is dry screw it into your new lamp::::
Abracadabra!!!
