When looking for nursery lighting, you’ll often find fun, festive fixtures such as this whimsical pendant light.
But I wanted a pendant with a little bit more sophistication, so I decided to create a pendant light of my own. I started with a plain, white lamp shade you can find at any big box store.
Then I chose a bold, funky fabric that would complement the rest of the space.
Next I pulled out the few supplies I would need; scissors, fabric glue, and a needle with white thread.
After carefully measuring how much fabric I would need, I cut along the pattern to keep a straight line
Once I wrapped the lamp shade with fabric, I sewed it along the top and bottom, leaving the trim of the shade exposed for a more finished look. The fabric glue came in handy in a couple of spots, but you wouldn’t necessarily need it to try this project out
The lamp shade is now ready to transform into a pendant light. All I need is this light extender from Lowe’s that will transform a simple bulb in the ceiling light into a lovely pendant fixture.
Stay tuned for the final product!
