{ Globe Pendants }


I decided to make a pendant light out of a vintage globe I found at a flea market.
It may have been one of the quickest and easiest project I have ever done. 
So, get yourself a globe and start drillin'!


I separated the globe with a straight edge knife right along the seem. It popped right apart.


I used a circular drill bit the same diameter as the light I was going to use.


Drilled a whole through the top.


Popped the light fixture through the whole...(which I purchased at IKEA)


Tada, more later when I hang them.
