The celophane tucked into the folded base. All I needed to do then was to bend the whole thing into a cylinder and glue it together:

And with one of those push-button lights in the centre, I have a lamp. Next? Well, I’m considering a couple of ways to make a table runner. I could do the same shredded paper effect, but I think that’d be too much of the same. So I’m looking at my book and chewing on a few other ideas.
