Hey everyone!
I have really procrastinated about doing some sort of light fixture in my kitchen, but I finally accomplished this task!
The best part is, that it was only $5 for the domes. (I am super cheap so this works for me!)
Here's what you will need:
Elmers glue $1
Twine or String $2
Balloon $1
Start by pouring 1/2 C of Glue and 1/8 C of water into a styrophom bowl. Mix the glue mixture.
Blow up a balloon to your desired size.
Dip your string in the glue and start wrapping the balloon. Squeeze the excess glue off of the string as you go.
THIS IS A MESSY TASK!
Keep wrapping and dipping and unraveling your twine. When you think your balloon is covered in the right amount of string or twine, set it aside to dry.
I let mine dry overnight.
Next, pop the balloon. You should be left with the shell. :)
Next you need to cut a piece of cardboard for the top so it doesnt slide off the lights.
I cut mine from an old cereal box. Measure your hole at the top of your light fixture. Make sure the middle circle is smaller than the width of your light socket. You can cut slits in the inside circle so it slides on.
Fold your cardbaord circle in half and gently place it inside of your light.
Then just slide them up onto your existing fixture.
You can also place the cardboard up first and then put your string light on.
If you are wondering about the pendant lights, you can find them here:
I am happy with it!
