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.
I love how it turned out - great idea!!

Different & cute. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
