Up-cycled paper light shade

The light above my studio has need a light shade for some time but the problem was I never saw anything I really liked, so I decided to make my own.
I spent some time on pinterest researching some ideas. Next thing I knew I was creating!!
Time was spent cutting and punching out shapes from tissue paper. I found the shape punch worked much better if I folded the tissue paper a few times before inserting it into the gap.
I used slightly watered down pva glue to glue the shapes onto the paper shade.
It is now up and definitely brightens up the room!!
