DIY Basket Pendant Light
If you're on the hunt for an easy DIY pendant light to make, I'm sharing how to make a basket light fixture and it's so simple!
Servings: 1
Cost: $90
Equipment
- Heavy-duty cutting pliers
Ingredients
- 1 woven basket I used this one from At Home Stores, but this one is similar and this set is spot on!
- 1 semi-flush mount light kit Here it is in black or silver or here in gold
Instructions
- Once you have the wiring for the light complete, use cutting pliers to create a hole in the bottom of the basket.Make sure that the hole is just wide enough to slip over the light bulb socket. However, you also want it to be a hair smaller in diameter than your shade ring. A shade ring looks like this.
- Once the hole is cut, slip it over the bulb socket until it reaches the base of the mount and screw the shade ring onto the socket to hold it in place.Essentially you’re allowing the mounted light to hold the weight of the basket in between the shade ring and the top of the bulb socket.
- Once you have your basket securely in place, all you have to do is insert a cute round bulb and you’re all set!
