We have 3 pendant lights that hang above our breakfast bar. I absolutely hated the ones that were in place when moved in. All 3 were different colors with a kind of ombre finish and the old white cords were....well not white anymore. The pendants looked like cylinders covered in rock candy! My poor husband was forced to listen to me complain about how hideous these lights were until one day......he bought some new lights! Very nice amber colored pendants with brown cords and a brushed bronze cap piece.
These looked so much better than what was in place but still wasn't quite what I was looking for so you what I did? Yep. I made my own! I went to a local antique/gift store and picked up 3 of the old blue BALL mason jars. Cut a hole in the lid with some tin snips just slightly larger than the area needed to fit the light socket through. Attach the lid to the wire in place of the old pendant and screw the jar onto the lid.
TIP: make sure your light bulbs will fit into the jar
Wrap some star picks around the top for the finishing touch and you've got yourself some beautiful and easy DIY pendant lights.
Thank for reading! Now go get crafty! :)
