DIY Lampshade Of Paint Sticks

I’ve already showed you how to make a cool sunburst mirror of a bunch of paint sticks. It isn’t the only thing you can make of it. For example you can make a lampshade from about 50 paint sticks and a simple cheap lampshade frame using hot glue and stain. The cool things about such lampshade are that it looks great but costs almost nothing. Besides all you need to do is to glue paint sticks to the lampshade frame and cover them with a coat of stain.

    This is really nice, I wonder if you can you can do the same kind of thing to make a basket for a living room to hold magazines or blankets?

    I don’t know the stain’s brand. The original tutorial doesn’t have this info.
