Milkskirt lampshade

Milkskirt
Upcycle lampshade
Some time ago I started to collect discarded plastic milk cartons, 2-litre ones. I set myself a goal to make a lampshade out of these milk cartons.
This is the third design in a series of lampshades made out of milk cartons. The Milkskirt is like the Milkshell also made from the top part of milk cartons, but the parts are connected in a different way. Resulting in a comletely different design. I wanted to use the bottle caps so the connections would be visible. Another visual aspect of this design is the handle that just looks like you can grab the lampshade. 
The name of this design came to me when I saw the lampshade hanging from the ceiling for the very first time. It just looked like a summer skirt to me dancing in the air.
