{G l o b e * P e n d a n t s }


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.

  7. I am planning this exact same project in the bunk room! I have a few globes and the little one decided to throw one of them on the ground and pop open it went. So now I plan on doing this same thing and hanging them above each of the big boy beds. But I'm so glad you did it first so I can have good directions and don't mess it up! lol!
