Craftster user trickygirlb made this cute lamp out of three plastic take out-style boxes and a string of twinkle lights. Simple, kitschy and cute! This would be fun for a dorm room or tween/teen room (even for boys!). You can often find the plastic take out boxes in different colors, too. [click here for craftster project]
