Everyone needs a little DIY art in their home, right? You can easily make a great conversation piece with some zip ties, a grate and a little imagination. By combining multiple zip ties on a grate it creates a fringing effect you would expect to see in a vintage light fixture.

Awesome, not to mention an artful lamp shade great for an instant home upgrade. When you use them as they are made normally, a natural white color, it gives off a warm glow.

Or, spray paint the zip ties to create different color effects that match your interior or make a bold statement. Either way, this is a cool piece to add to your collection.
