Cool Light

Straw light


    Great Light by Mark Montano

You'll need:

 

1 cheap deep-fryer (I got this one at a discount store for 99c)

500 drinking straws

1 plug in light fixture with a chandelier bulb sized socket

Here's how:

Step 1:  Bend your straw in half and poke it through the inside of the deep-fryer so that the bend in the straw wraps around a wire.

   

Step 2:  Continue this process until your entire deep fryer is filled with straws and then bend the handle toward the inside.

 

 Step 3:  Attach your socket and bulb inside the handle so that it's secure.  The bulb should be big enough to be wedged inside the loop of the handle so that it doesn't move and does not touch the straws.
