DIY Recycled Shades

Plastic Milk Jug Shades from Natural Home & Living magazine

Natural Home & Garden demonstrates with aplomb that recycled crafts don’t have to look, well … trashy.

From the March/April 2006 issue:

Make a translucent shade out of plastic milk jugs that would otherwise find their way into the waste stream. The plastic is remarkably pretty when the light hits it, reminiscent of capiz shells. This simple, striking design is perfect for windows where you want a little privacy without blocking out light.

The magazine has helpfully provided instructions online in the form of a PDF.
