I've been looking for a slightly retro inspired lampshade for the living room for a while now. I was about to accept defeat and head to ikea when I came across the iq puzzle light. You can buy these ready made but a quick Google search told me you can make them yourself! Never one to turn down a challenge, I got stuck in. 15 printed pages and a sore thumb from cutting out later, I had a pile of paper pieces and no clue how to get a shade out of them! I now know why it's called a puzzle shade-it took me a while to work it out! I'm pretty pleased with the final result though!
