For this project, you will need a few PVC pipes, PVC pipe cutter and a hot glue gun.

You will also need an inflatable ball.

Cut the PVC Pipe in Rings

I used a PVC pipe cutter to cut out rings.

I guess a table saw would have been a much faster option, but I had to use what I got.

The rings were cut approximately the same size, but not perfect.

Glue the Rings Together (around the Ball)

I glued the first ring to the ball, so the lampshade would not move.

Then I glued rest of the rings to each other, but not to the ball.

Take Out the Ball

When that was done, I deflated the ball to pull it out from the shade.

Then I just hung it on one of my ceiling lights.
