I would like to try and make mini cube clip-on lamp shades to add interest to my bathroom vanity, which is fairly typical, with 4 globe bulbs -

I would ideally like to make cube-shaped clip-on lamp shades.

Does anyone have any suggestions for making little clip-on lamp shades, or where I'd find the parts? I'd also love to know what kind of wire to use to make the little cubes.

This type of lighting does not lend itself to paper lampshades due to proximity of bulbs and amount of heat generated. Paper shades would be unsafe due to fire hazard.

This is a dated light bar. Explore the many lighting options to give your bathroom an updated look.
