Easy, Peasy DIY Pendant Light Tutorial

The last few weeks have been all about our laundry room remodel. If you're new to The Mustard Ceiling, you can catch up here, here and here.



Today, is the final installment of this epic project.

The tutorial for today is an easy, inexpensive way to DIY a pendant light.



I knew when we were remodeling the laundry room the original laundry room light fixture

would not be fun enough for the new design...so we DIYed a new one.

This is how we did it:



Step 1: Find a Drum Shade



I had an extra drum shade just lying around in our storage shed

(this made the project even easier)

Step 2: Purchase a pendant light kit

(we bought ours at Lowe's for about $17.00)



Step 3: Run the wire from the kit through the center of the shade.

(If your lighting kit is too small to fit go through the center of the drum shade,

add a coupling and a nipple...per Dittle Dattle blog's instructions)

Step 4: Slide the rod down on the wire and tighten the rod to the kit.







Step 5: Remove the old fixture and Hang the New One

Voila! A new drum shade pendant for $17.00

I'd like to shout out to Holly from West Pear Avenue and Remodelaholic

for featuring my laundry room today!
