You know what was one of the most satisfying parts of my lamp shade making project?

Letting the air out of the bouncy ball at the end. I mean, don’t get me wrong, playing with all that glue was a blast too…covering my hands in it transported me back to kindergarten where i used to do the same with Clag glue.

But, not trying to toot my own horn here…as this wasn’t even my original idea, the end result is AWESOME. I am so in love with this light shade. Seriously. SRS.

I ended up ordering a pendant light kit from Grandbrass and i have to say, their shipping time was out of this world. I ordered the kit on Monday and I had it in my hot little hands by Thursday. The website is not the easiest to navigate, but the kit i found is this one:

Part #SO95080-50PDCK

So wiring the kit was not the easiest, but after doing a little research at the library and borrowing a Black and Decker Complete Home Repair book, i figured out where each wire was meant to go. So now….i know the real question is, did i burn the house down?

Nope!

Well done, Miss Junior DIYer.

Soon you’ll be demanding a shed like mine, in which to create further masterpieces.

No time for Yvette Irene – too much to do !

  Re: Shed – I was just planning on turning the kids room into a shed once he moves out in a couple of years…thats what you did to my room, right? I figure i’ll be more prepared to take on the responsibility of a shed at that point.

Wow, this looks phenomenal! Did you attempt any sort of pattern for the string or just totally cover it?

  Thanks!
  
  I basically just winged it. I tried to get a good base coverage with the first ball of hemp and then just concentrated on “closing up” any gaps with the other two balls.
