Hi I was watching Design Remix on hgtv.I left the room for a minute and found out that they made a hanging lamp from a tissue box.Did anyone see how to make it or know how I could make one?

Hi Sindyloo. If you go to Home Depot or Lowe's and go over by the ceiling fans, they have all the parts you need to make or rewire a lamp. You can buy the socket and chain to hang it with, then just drill a hole through whatever you want and thread the socket through after you've wired it. I would be careful with a tissue box if it's paper because of heat buildup possibly causing a fire, but you can use your imagination and make all KINDS of lamps with all the parts they have. Hope this helps.

I agree with johnspop, it's very simple, but stay away from paper.
