Rubiks Cube Lamp Shade

This is my first instructable :D The story behind this cube is that we
had a 80's party and we needed something that was really 80's. I didnt have much time and much tools but I had a big

carton package

a drill

a jigsaw

semitransparent paper in different colors

hotglue

black paint

some clamps

cut the package in 5 equal pieces and then put the pieces together . Use the clamps to hold the pieces together.

so what you have to do is depends on the size of your carton, you have to draw 9 equal squares.You should be careful not to have to big squares otherwise the lines between the squares will be too thin.

To make your work easier drill holes in the corner of the squares . Now you can use the jigsaw to cut it out.I didnt have a finer blade so the work was a little messy I recommend a really fine jigsaw blade.

I left a little more space on the outside so I could glues the pieces on each other. Be careful while you hot glue it can burn your skin.I didnt have perfect joints so I had to cover some of them with paper tape.(don't worry when you paint it over no one will see it ;) )

Just use any kind of black paint of your desire .

First I had the idea to cut the sheets in small 9 pieces but that would make the work harder so I hot glued on each side one whole sheet of course for each side a different color.

I put the whole thing over an Ikea lamp and as you can see it works good and the effect in the dark is even better.
