Modern Geometric Pendant

1/16

DIY Glass Pendant Light

Construct a glass pendant to show off that trendy Edison bulb. This one was made from a glass terrarium and a swag kit. Simply flip the terrarium over, drill a hole through the metal base to accommodate the bulb socket (the hole for this one was two inches wide), then screw the swag kit into the base according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fit the socket with an Edison bulb, and suspend the fixture upside down from a hook in the ceiling.

Vintage-Style Cage Bathroom Fixture

2/16

DIY Bathroom Light Fixture Makeover

Turn your outdated bathroom fixture into a vintage-inspired beauty with little more than new shades and a coat of paint! To achieve the look, find small fabric shades that are about the same size as the shades currently on your fixture, then strip off the fabric. Remove the fixture from the wall, then spray-paint it and the lamp shade cages black. Once everything is dry, reattach the fixture to the wall, install the spray-painted cage lamp shades, and swap in filament light bulbs. Now you have a "brand-new" industrial-farmhouse lighting fixture that cost you next to nothing.

DIY Floor Lamp

Put your carpentry skills to use and build yourself a sleek and stylish floor lamp! To make this fun design, you'll need a lighting kit, pine boards, a wood plank, assorted hardware, and familiarity with a circular saw. Trim the boards and fit three together to create each of the tripod legs. Cut the plank into a triangular shape with a rectangular tab at each corner, and screw one leg onto each tab. Drill a hole through the plank, run the lighting kit through it, then top with a wood veneer-look shade or a lamp shade of your choice.

Transform a simple metal chandelier into a beach-house-worthy statement piece with this DIY idea. Start with a plain metal hanging fixture.

Then, little by little, apply a few inches of hot glue to the chandelier, wrapping with sisal rope until the whole fixture is covered.

Brightly Colored Halo Lights

7/16

DIY Hanging Light

These whimsical lights are a breeze to assemble and can be made in any color you want! They're great for a kids' room or playroom, so long as they're well out of reach. Begin by measuring and cutting wire into four lengths of graduated sizes. Wrap the shortest one into a circle that fits snugly over the top of a white pendant light kit. Bend the three longest pieces into large circles with loops at the ends. Spray all the wire circles one color, let them dry, then flip them over and spray the other side. Once the wires are completely dry, slide the loops at the ends of the three largest circles onto the small wire circle, and hang it over the top of the pendant light.

Wire Basket Wooden Wall Sconce

DIY Wall Sconce Light

These minimalist industrial wall sconces make perfect reading lights in the bedroom. Begin by cutting two pieces of wood for the bracket. Next, use a router to carve a channel for the electrical cord along the back of each piece; for the top piece of wood, the channel should run straight into a hole drilled through the piece, close to the front edge. Screw the two pieces of wood together to form a right angle. Stain the wood in your desired shade and let dry. Then, string a cord through the hole and down the back. Mount the fixture to the wall, then screw in the light bulb.

Recycled Cardboard Pendant Lights

Cardboard Pendant Lights

These colorful lights may look like they're made from metal, but they're actually made from recycled cardboard! This cheap (or free!) material gives you lots of room to play with shape and color.

Cut a hole in the center of the top square, big enough to fit the light socket of your pendant light kit. Cut notches into the base and side pieces and fit them together as shown, then spray-paint the whole thing in the color of your choice. Once it's dry, fit the cardboard form onto your light kit, and hang it with pride.
