lighting pwn!
so cute, right? i can't thank nicole at parlour enough for inspiring me to make this adorable pendant light!
it was about as easy as it gets - and super cheap too. here's what you need if you want one yourself. gather up:
1. single light pendant (like this one at home depot)
2. paper lantern - i used the 20" version from pier 1
3. coffee filters. i used about 600 for mine. you can get them on the cheap at amazon
4. your trusty glue gun and lots of glue sticks. i hadn't used mine since my sorority days - brought back some memories, i tell ya! (" i am a sigma kappa girl, sigma girl. i wear a pin of gold and pearls, gold and pearls...")
and then you just start gluing. and gluing. and gluing. put a dab on the bottom of each filter like so:
and place the dots of glue veryclosetogether, like this:
about half way...
and DONE!
now i just have to call my electrician. AGAIN. i'll post a photo when it's up in the guest room. until then, back to the dreaded kitchen cabinets...
