 This is a larger version of the snoot I made for the below image and its for one of my larger lamps.

Drink a 24 pack of lager and save the centre of a kitchen tissue roll then then draw a circle in the centre of the of the beer pack and cut several times from the centre of the circle to the edge. To make the join light tight I cut the end off an old sock and rolled it over the tube then pushed it about 2cm into the hole then made about 8 cuts in the tube and bent them back againt the beer pack. You might want to tape these down or leave as is so you can easily remove the kitchen roll tupe and replace it with a toilet tissue tube for a wider snoot.

The lip on the beer crate means I can simply hand the snoot on my lamp thus directing.

For this image I simply used blu tac to attatch the kitchen roll holder to a small table lamp.
