DIY: Wire Waste Basket Turned Pendant Light

Contributor post by Janis Nicolay of Pinecone Camp



Hi Everyone! Janis here, from Pinecone Camp. I mentioned on my blog, a couple of weeks ago, that I had found a $2 wire waste basket, and I was going to turn it into a pendant light. Well here it is. I used scrapes of fabric to create a light for my niece. Simple and really inexpensive!  

I picked up a "hemma" cord set from Ikea to attach to my $2 basket.

Next step was to snip out a space to feed the cord through.


Cut strips of fabric to weave and wrap around basket.


Weave fabric strip through basket about every 6 inches.
A happy light for a niece that doesn't like really dark rooms. ;)
Gives of a pinky glow and some pretty shadows. That should scare away any monsters.


So great to contribute to one of my favourite blogs! Thanks Jan. Have a great day everyone!
