There is nothing like making something stylish for your interior using pieces you may already have at home. These retro-inspired pendant lights are fun, versatile and practical. It will add a little colour to a lounge room, kitchen or bedroom. And you won’t believe just how quick they are to make!
What you need
To make these pendant lights, you will need:
- Bowls, plates and cups in various sizes made from plastic
- A pendant light electrical cord (you can buy one online)
- Spray paint
- A drill
- A round-cutting drill bit
Approximate time: 1.5 hour (excluding drying time)
Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆
The project step by step
Step #1
Start by drilling a hole in the base of your plates and bowls. I’m using a vice to hold each item to ensure it doesn’t move while I’m drilling.
Step #2
Spray them a colour. I’ve gone with soft olive, pink and blue for my project.
Step #3
Once your pieces are dry, it is time to assemble your pendant light. You can sort them in any design formation. I’ve placed a cup inside a bowl, with another plate and bowl underneath. Don’t be afraid to try different shapes.
Step #4
Unscrew the pendant light cord and slip it through the bowls and plate. Once it is in place, screw the ring on the other side to secure it. And add a light bulb.
Step #5
The only thing left to do is to hang up your pendant light and turn it on!
This is seriously such an easy project to do and it is a great way to add a little lighting mood to the interior of your home.
