Pimp your maskros lamp otherwise it pimps you one day


Materials: Maskros lamp, paper stars

Description: Sometimes my brain does stupid things to me: I thought I'm kind of the only person in the world who bought the Maskros lamp from IKEA. And then I was quite shocked seeing this lamp everywhere - in every barber shop (humans & animals).

So I decided to pimp mine. Before it pimps me.



I removed the flowers of the original and decorated it with paper stars instead. You can download the stars here.

I needed 160 stars. But it's worth it. Now we have shadows of the stars on our walls when we switch on the lamp.

See more of the starry Maskros.
