5 Handmade Hanging Light Ideas & How to Make Them (with Pictures)

Electrical Safety for DIY Pendants

Before creating your own pendant lights, make sure you're familiar with the following electrical safety guidelines:

Understanding Pendant Cord Set

A standard DIY setup begins with a pendant cord set, which consists of three essential parts: the canopy, the cord, and the socket.

The canopy secures the fixture to the ceiling and hides the junction box, while the socket holds the bulb (typically using an E26 or E27 base).

Bulbs Choosing

Proper light bulb selection is critical because DIY pendant lights often utilize combustible materials like fabric, hemp rope, or cardboard, managing heat is a top priority.

So, you should exclusively use LED bulbs for these projects. Unlike incandescent bulbs that convert most of their energy into heat, LEDs remain cool to the touch even after hours of use, significantly reducing the fire risk for your handmade shades.

Using Strain Relief

To prevent your fixture from falling or causing a short circuit, you must use strain relief (or cord grips) at both the socket and the canopy.

This hardware ensures that the weight of the lampshade pulls on the reinforced cord rather than the delicate electrical wire connections. Properly securing the strain relief prevents the wires from loosening over time due to gravity.

Idea 1: DIY Wabi-Sabi White Fabric Pendant Light

Pendant lights are incredibly versatile, fitting seamlessly into a wide range of interior styles. For a Wabi Sabi space, a grey-toned pendant with a lampshade that celebrates the beauty of imperfection is an absolute must-have.

Join us as we explore how to create a handmade light that will instantly warm up your room, using nothing more than basic materials like fabric, white cement, and tissue paper.

Materials & Tools

As mentioned above, the materials needed for this project include:

• 1 large white sheet of fabric (59 inches wide): https://a.co/d/cE0y1X2 ($9)

• 1 roll of tissue paper: At home

• 1 bag of white cement: https://a.co/d/grA9yER ($16)

• Tap water: At home

• 1 bottle of wood glue

• 1 pendant cord set: https://a.co/d/glb3CMy ($15)

In addition, you'll need to prepare the following supporting tools:

• 1 ball (basketball/football/plastic ball): https://a.co/d/iOxqFdD ($25)

• 1 marker: 

• 1 scissors

• 1 roll of plastic wrap

• 1 utility knife

• 1 wood stick

• Mixing bowl, bowl, sieve, hand whisk

Based on the materials and tools listed above, the total cost for this project typically ranges from $40 to $70, depending on how many supplies you already have on hand.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Make a Circular Fabric Piece

To get started, lay out your white fabric sheet and grab your basketball. The ball serves as the mold for your pendant, so make sure it's clean and ready to go.

Drape the fabric over the balloon, then use a marker to mark the very top center. This point will also serve as the top center of the pendant lampshade.

Next, mark a second spot at the midline of the basketball (since our goal is to create a dome-shaped lampshade). Then, remove the fabric and take out the basketball.

Spread the fabric back onto the flat surface. Grab the wooden stick you prepared earlier (if you don’t have one like in the photo, a chopstick will work just fine).

Place the wooden stick on the fabric to align with the two points you marked earlier.

Now, pair your marker with the stick to make a handmade compass. Tape them together in a crisscross pattern to make sure they don't budge.

Use your homemade compass to draw a circle on the fabric, using the first mark as the center point.

Tips: Rotate it slowly and gently to avoid shifting the fabric, which could make the circle uneven.

Once the circle is drawn, grab your scissors. Now, it's time to cut out the fabric following your outline.

The circle is now completely cut out.

Remove the excess fabric, and you now have a perfect fabric circle, ready for the next step.

Step 2: Finalize the Cutting Fabric

Reposition the basketball on the table.

Drape the circular fabric piece you just cut over the basketball.

Continue with the marking process by using a marker to plot 4 points around the fabric. Make sure they are all equidistant from the center.

Pick up your scissors again.

Gently cut a straight line from the edge toward the center, stopping at the point you marked in the previous step. Repeat this for the remaining three spots.

Step 3: Wrap the basketball

Set the fabric aside for a moment. Take the plastic wrap and wrap it around the basketball about twice, until the entire surface is covered.

Once wrapped, cut the plastic wrap with your scissors. Finally, use your hands to smooth it out so it hugs the basketball tightly.

Similarly, wrap a few more layers of plastic wrap to ensure no part of the surface is missed.

Step 4: Mix the initial cement batch

Open the bag of white cement you purchased earlier. Use a spoon to scoop a small cup full of it. This is the key ingredient that provides rigidity and allows you to shape your lampshade exactly as desired.

Alongside the white cement, prepare an equal cup of water. Grab a mixing bowl from your kitchen. Now, let’s get to mixing! First, pour the cup of water into the bowl, followed by the white cement.

Use a spoon to stir the cement and water mixture. Stir steadily in a clockwise direction until they are completely dissolved into a thick liquid.

Step 5: Soak the fabric

Return to the basketball that you wrapped in plastic film earlier.

Also, retrieve the circular fabric piece that you prepared at the beginning.

Dip the fabric into the cement mixture. Use your hands to press and knead it thoroughly so the cement saturates the fabric completely (the more it absorbs, the sturdier your pendant lampshade will be).

Step 6: Drape the soaked fabric over the ball

Set the basketball onto a small bowl to act as a base.

Take the cement-soaked fabric and drape it over the basketball.

Spread out each corner of the fabric by hand, adjusting carefully to fully cover half of the basketball. At the same time, use your hands to smooth the surface so the fabric lies flat against the ball.

After completing the shaping, allow the piece to set until the cement has fully cured. This typically takes around 12 hours.

Once the cement is bone-dry, carefully remove the basketball from the hardened fabric. Be gentle to avoid breaking the shape, as it can be very brittle at this stage.

The structure is now ready to take the shape of a dome lampshade.

Step 7: Cut the hole for the pendant socket

Unbox the package and take out the pendant cord set you purchased.

Place the socket on top of the dome shade to start marking your spot (use a marker to trace a circle).

Use a utility knife to puncture a slot along the marked outline, then use scissors to cut out the circle. This hole will serve as the connection point between the shade, the socket, and the bulb.

Try fitting the socket into the hole you just cut. If the hole is too small, use your scissors to widen it until the installation becomes easy.

The connection hole for the lampshade is now complete!

Step 8: Blend the paper pulp with wood glue and white cement

Although the shaping was successful, your shade is currently too soft and thin, so let's continue with the process below. Prepare a large bowl of water, a small bowl, a small cup, and a mesh strainer.

Take a roll of paper towels, tear off a piece, crumple it up, and stuff it into the small cup. Keep stuffing until the paper fills half of the cup's volume.

Empty the crumpled paper towels from the cup into the bowl of water.

Use your hands to shred the paper towels so they soak up the water, as shown in the picture. Then, pour the paper and water mixture through a strainer (remember to place a small bowl underneath to avoid a mess on your table).

Use your hands to squeeze each small paper clump to ensure all water is drained, then move them to a large bowl. Repeat until all the paper is separated from the water.

Take the wood glue, fill the small cup halfway, and pour it directly into the bowl of squeezed-dry paper.

Prepare an additional 2/3 cup of white cement. Much like the wood glue, pour it directly into the large bowl. Get ready to mix them all together.

Use a spoon to give them a basic preliminary mix, making sure there are no large clumps. Switch to a hand mixer to blend the mixture thoroughly.

The mixture of paper pulp, wood glue, and white cement is now thoroughly blended.

Step 9: Coat the shade with the cement-paper pulp

Scoop the cement mixture by hand and apply it to the surface of the lampshade. Work in small sections to ensure even coverage.

Work steadily until the cement mixture completely and evenly covers the entire surface of the lampshade.

Once the exterior of the lampshade is completely and evenly coated with cement, let it dry for about 2 to 3 hours.

Utilize the remaining cement mixture to add thickness to the inner surface and the bottom rim. Always maintain a steady hand for an even finish.

Once the cement is fully cured, you will have a finished lampshade.

Step 10: Finish and Install

Take some wood glue and use a brush to apply a coat over the lampshade; this serves as a long-lasting protective layer.

Repeat the process to create 2–3 similar lampshades (depending on how many you want for your room).

All that’s left is to hang your lights and enjoy their beauty.

Idea 2: Handmade Boho Hemp Rope Pendant Light

In contrast to Wabi-Sabi, the Bohemian style brings a sense of freedom, vibrancy, and colorful flair, combined with natural elements.

So, if you've been eyeing those stylish, natural woven light fixtures but weren't sure about the price tag, this project is for you. Creating a handmade boho pendant light is surprisingly simple and incredibly rewarding. You don't need to be a master crafter to pull this off, just a little patience and some natural hemp rope.

Materials & Tools

This idea requires these main materials for your stunning hanging light:

• 1 brown twine hemp rope (500ft roll): https://a.co/d/9bcQZ6U ($5.99)

• 1 jar of Mod Podge glue: https://a.co/d/4Ze4Ryj ($8.97)

• 1 bottle of white school glue: https://a.co/d/4P5S2h8 ($10.99)

• Cornstarch: At home

• Tap water: At home

• 1 pendant cord set: https://a.co/d/glb3CMy ($15)

Besides the materials, prepare these specific tools to help shape the lampshade's structure:

• 1 large yoga ball: https://a.co/d/i2Ofo3G ($21.99)

• 1 Mod Podge pray: https://a.co/d/4bTTGme ($10.18)

• 1 roll of black PVC tape

• 1 large bowl and 1 larger bowl

• 1 scissors

• 1 power drill

At a glance, this project costs around $70, which is incredibly affordable compared to the large-scale Bohemian woven lamps currently found on major e-commerce platforms. Totally worth it, right? Let's get started with the first steps below.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Construct the Mold

Step one is shaping your lampshade: place the large yoga ball on the floor and set your larger bowl upside down on top of it (ask someone help you hold the bowl to prevent the ball from rolling and breaking it).

Tips: If you're working alone, you can place the yoga ball inside a bucket to keep it from moving while you position the bowl.

Use the black electrical tape to secure the bowl to the yoga ball. Apply the tape twice in a cross pattern to ensure the bowl doesn't shift left or right.

Just like with the first bowl, continue securing the smaller bowl on top using black electrical tape.

Step 2: Mix & Wrap

Once the internal frame of the lampshade is securely fixed, let's begin by mixing the glue solution.

Mix the ingredients according to the formula shown in the picture: 1 part Mod Podge, 1 part white glue, and 1 part water. Next, unroll your rope and submerge it in the solution (ensure the rope is as saturated with glue as possible).

Once the rope is fully saturated with glue, it’s time to shape your lampshade. Place the end of the rope on the very top of the bowl and secure it with a piece of black electrical tape.

Flip the yoga ball and bowl structure over, bring the rope down to the bottom, and secure it with another piece of black tape (this will prevent the rope from unraveling during the wrapping process).

After the first round, continue wrapping with multiple criss-cross patterns. Once you've finished the vertical layers, switch to horizontal wrapping until the rope completely covers your frame.

This wrapping process should take about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your dexterity. Once finished, it should look like the image below.

Step 3: Seal & Define

Grab your Mod Podge sealer spray.

Spray evenly over the entire surface of the lampshade. Be thorough and consistent in this step, as it ensures the strength and durability of your creation.

After about 30 minutes, the glue will be dry. Now, take your scissors and create an open structure at the bottom of the shade by cutting a circular opening.

Carefully use the tips of your scissors to remove the air plug from the yoga ball.

Wait a moment for the yoga ball to deflate. Once it has shrunk enough, pull it out of the shade. At this point, your lampshade looks stunning and is nearly complete!

Step 4: Install and Hang

Plug in your drill and carefully create a hole just large enough to fit the wiring from the pendant cord set.

Thread the power cord through the small hole you just drilled. Pull the wire carefully to avoid letting the shade scratch the cord. After that, screw in your light bulb.

Everything is complete! Hang this oversized lamp in your desired spot, turn on the light, and admire its warm, inviting beauty.

Idea 3: Make a Japandi Cardboard Hanging Light

Get ready for a super affordable project! We’re making a minimalist Japandi lamp using just cardboard and wooden sticks. Even if you don't consider yourself crafty, the assembly is incredibly straightforward, requiring no complex tools or artistic skills to achieve a high-end finish.

It’s the perfect weekend project for anyone looking to declutter, get creative, and add a touch of Zen to their home without spending a fortune. Because it’s so quick and easy, you can transform your bedside table or workspace in just one afternoon.

Materials & Tools

Unlike the first two hanging lights, the materials for this third idea are incredibly easy to find and cost almost next to nothing:

• 2 cardboard sheets: At home

• 1 bundle of bamboo sticks: https://a.co/d/2mYnYJX ($4.98)

• 1 pendant cord set: https://a.co/d/glb3CMy ($15)

And of course, we’ll need some essential tools that you most likely already have lying around the house:

• 1 scissors

• 1 roll of adhesive tape (any type will work)

• 1 small bowl

• 1 marker

• 1 ruler

• 1 hot glue gun

• 1 paintbrush with some paint (markers or wall paint are also fine)

It’s clear that this is a highly cost-effective project. For only around $20, you can create a beautiful Japanese-inspired pendant light for your home. Let's get started right now!

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Cardboard Components

First, place a sheet of cardboard on a flat surface. Position your small bowl upside down on the cardboard and use a marker to trace its outline.

Once you have a perfect circle, use your scissors to cut it out. This piece will serve as the top cap of your lampshade.

On the remaining cardboard sheet, use your marker and ruler to draw long, vertical lines across the entire sheet. For each lamp, you will need two identical vertical strips, so please plan and divide the space accordingly.

After marking the lines, cut the cardboard into equal strips along your markings.

Now, let’s begin the first stage of assembling your Japandi shade. Take one of the vertical strips and roll it with your hands to make it flexible. Repeat this process with the remaining three strips until they are all curled.

Pro Tip: When rolling the cardboard strips, do it gently to avoid creating sharp creases. You want a smooth, curved shape to achieve that soft, organic Japandi look.

Step 2: Build the Top Hub

Now, take your cardboard circle and apply a small amount of hot glue along its edge. Carefully attach the vertical strip to the rim of the circle, working your way around until the entire circumference is covered.

If your cardboard strip is longer than the circle's circumference, simply trim the excess with scissors and secure the ends with a bit more glue for a clean finish.

Once finished, it should look like the image below.

Step 3: Construct the Bamboo Cage

With the top part ready, let's move on to the body of the lampshade. Apply a small drop of hot glue to the tip of a bamboo stick and insert it into the flutes (holes) of the cardboard.

This is exactly why cardboard is the perfect material for this project, its hollow structure provides the perfect anchors for our bamboo sticks.

Pro Tip: Make sure you use corrugated cardboard (the type with three layers). The middle wavy layer creates the holes you need to slide the bamboo sticks in easily and keep them straight.

Repeat this process with the remaining bamboo sticks until you’ve created a fence that completely surrounds the circle.

Here is the result after all the bamboo sticks have been inserted into the cardboard.

Now, take the remaining vertical cardboard strip. Just like before, you will connect this strip to the bamboo sticks, but this time, slide each stick into the holes of the strip one by one.

Pro Tip: To make the threading easier, you can slightly taper the ends of the bamboo sticks or use a toothpick to open up the cardboard holes first. This ensures the sticks slide in smoothly without tearing the cardboard.

This part might be trickier than the first step. Work carefully and ensure the spacing between each bamboo stick is even.

Finally, trim any excess cardboard with scissors.

Use your hot glue gun to join the two edges where you just made the cut.

Hold them firmly in place with your hands for a moment to ensure they are securely bonded.

Step 4: Reinforce

It’s already looking great, but let’s add an extra layer of glue to the holes where the bamboo sticks meet the cardboard (both at the top and bottom). This ensures your lamp stays sturdy and won't fall apart over time.

Pro Tip: Don't overdo the glue at the joints. A small, neat drop is enough to lock the sticks in place without looking messy. In Japandi style, “less is more” applies to glue too!

Allow the glue to dry for 5 to 10 minutes before moving on to the next step.

Step 5: Decorate & Install

Once dry, use a bamboo stick or scissors to poke a hole in the center of the top circle. This will be the entry point for your pendant light cord, so make sure to enlarge the hole just enough for the wire to thread through.

Next, grab your paintbrush and apply the final finish to your lampshade. You can choose any color you like (though I recommend black or wood-brown for that authentic Japandi feel).

Pro Tip: Apply a strip of tape just below the area you're painting to prevent smudging and ensure a crisp, perfect line.

Peel off the tape, and your lampshade is complete!

Now, install your pendant cord set, screw in the bulb, and switch it on.

You've successfully brought a Japanese atmosphere into your room for the cost of a few snacks and a few hours of your Sunday. Take a moment to admire its beauty.

Idea 4: DIY Luxury Crystal Cage Hanging Pendant Light

Stepping back into the modern era, our fourth handmade lamp idea will bring a touch of luxury and sophistication to your living space. Despite its high-end appearance, this project is remarkably easy and quick to assemble.

If your space features materials like marble, gold stainless steel accents, and velvet, this lamp will serve as the perfect piece of jewelry to complete your home's high-end look. In just one short session, you can create a piece that elevates your interior aesthetic without the need for complex labor or expensive tools.

Materials & Tools

Compared to previous ideas, this fourth concept requires more materials to truly bring a sense of modern illumination to your space. Here is what we need:

• 2 round gold iron baskets: Dollar Tree ($3)

• 1 roll of colored floral wire: Dollar Tree ($1.75)

• 1 magnetic spice jar: https://a.co/d/6CTHjBE ($8.82)

• 1 roll of colorful diamond mesh ribbon: Dollar Tree ($1.75)

• 5-6 bags of acrylic gemstones: Dollar Tree ($8.75-$10.5)

The colorful diamond mesh ribbon and acrylic gemstones are used to make the crystal glass strands. If you don’t want to do it manually, you can buy them here: https://a.co/d/8eArIIU 

• 1 bronze pendant light cord: https://a.co/d/edFd7f2 ($13.98)

• 1 black pendant light cord: https://a.co/d/7yFSAPv ($8.99)

• 1 LED Edison bulb: https://a.co/d/9xSv6If ($16.99)

Some basic tools you'll need to prepare to get started include:

• 1 pair of wire cutters and 1 pair of pliers

• 1 utility knife

• 1 tube of clear grip contact adhesive

• 1 hot glue gun

Admittedly, this project requires the most supplies out of the five ideas I'm sharing today. However, the total cost is only around $50-$60, a very reasonable investment, wouldn't you agree?

Let’s get started with the first step!

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Modify & Assemble the Frame

Start with your first round gold iron basket. Use your wire cutters to snip each wire along the top surface to create a rectangular opening, as shown in the image.

After finishing the first gold iron basket, let’s move on to the second one. For this basket, cut the vertical wires around its body. Once completed, it should resemble the wheel shape shown in the image.

Go ahead and piece the two baskets together by hand. Now you can see the overall shape of your lampshade frame.

Prepare the colored floral wire you purchased. Begin by joining the two gold iron basket parts together.

Apply a small piece of adhesive tape to temporarily secure the position of the two iron baskets together.

Use a cross-stitch (criss-cross) technique to bind the two iron baskets together with the wire. You can follow along with the video and images to ensure your technique matches the demonstration.

Use your pliers to tighten the joints, ensuring the frame is securely fixed both vertically and horizontally.

Follow the same steps to secure all other corners of the structure. Once finished, your result should look like the image below.

Step 2: Install the Socket Mount

Grab your magnetic spice jars.

Place the lid of the magnetic spice jar face-up on your work surface. Position the lamp socket on top and trace around it with a marker.

Once you have the circular outline, use a utility knife to carefully cut a hole. This opening will serve as the connection point between the frame and the pendant cord set.

Test-fit the lid onto the socket to ensure the opening is a perfect match.

Perform a test assembly by fitting the socket into the lampshade frame.

Once everything is perfectly aligned, it’s time to permanently secure the jar lid to the iron basket frame. Place the frame onto the lid to identify the exact contact points; these are the areas where you will apply the glue.

Apply a small amount of glue to the jar lid and position the iron frame on top, holding it in place for about a minute until the glue sets. Then, apply a second layer of glue over the joint to ensure a rock-solid bond.

Allow the glue to dry completely for about 5 minutes before moving on to the next step.

Install the socket and screw in the light bulb. Once assembled, plug it in and test the lighting to ensure everything is working perfectly.

Step 3: Craft the Crystal Strands

Now, let’s move on to creating the crystal glass strands. If you have already purchased a pre-made set, you can skip this step.

Take your roll of colorful diamond mesh ribbon and the bags of acrylic gemstones. Use your scissors to cut the ribbon into long, vertical strips, as demonstrated in the image.

Next, take the long strands you cut in the previous step and divide them into smaller segments, each consisting of 3 vertical units.

Now, take your hot glue gun and apply a small dab of glue to one end of a vertical strip. Press that end onto an acrylic gemstone from the bags you purchased.

Continue with the other end of the 3-unit segment: apply glue and attach it to another gemstone. Repeat this process, linking them together until you reach a total length of about 7 to 8 gemstones.

Now you should have a collection of crystal glass strands ready. For this specific design, you may need approximately 12 to 15 strands, depending on the number of vertical wires on your lampshade frame.

Step 4: Decorate & Style

Take your completed crystal strands and use a hot glue gun to attach them to the top of the shade frame. Only secure the top end of each strand to the rim, allowing the rest to hang freely for a much more elegant and fluid look.

Once all the strands are attached around the frame, you can also add a decorative collar at the top to give the lamp an extra touch of brilliance.

Finally, use your scissors to trim any excess gemstones. Aim for alternating lengths to create a dynamic, lively look. For example: Place a 7-gemstone strand next to an 8-gemstone one.

Step 5: Install and Hang

And there you have it: Your very own Luxury Crystal Cage lamp is complete! Doesn't it look absolutely radiant and enchanting?

Idea 5: Handmade Rustic Round Hemp Rope Pendant Lights

Ready to transform your space with a touch of Rustic elegance? Forget the plastic, it's time to embrace the beauty of natural materials. This final idea will bring a warm glow through its organic textures.

Perhaps the simplest project among the five lamps we’ve introduced today, for those who adore a rustic, earthy aesthetic, this lighting fixture is the perfect way to infuse your home with an organic, natural touch.

Let’s dive straight into the details of this guide.

Materials & Tools

This concept returns to the use of jute twine to create a natural outer layer for the lamp. To get started, you will need to prepare the following materials:

• 1 roll of Jute twine / Hemp rope: https://a.co/d/gtNuguh ($5.99)

• 3 bottles of multi-purpose glue: https://a.co/d/bdeih7i ($38.7)

• Tap water: At home

• 1 pendant cord set: https://a.co/d/glb3CMy ($15)

In addition, gather these essential tools to assist in shaping your unique lampshade:

• 2-3 plastic balls (depending on how many lamps you want): https://a.co/d/clbtmeR ($9.99)

• 1 mixing container / mixing jar

• 1 small bowl

• A pair of gloves

• 1 marker

• 1 utility knife

This project carries an estimated cost of $70 to $100. If you’re planning to create multiple matching pendant lights for your room, you could save even more by using just one plastic ball; it will take a bit more time, but it’s a much more budget-friendly approach.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Remove existing bulbs

First, if you have existing pendant lights in your room, remove the bulbs (If you are creating brand-new pendant lights from scratch, you can skip this step).

Step 2: Mix wood glue and water

Prepare a jar or bowl to mix the adhesive soak. Use a 1:1 ratio of wood glue to water. For a single pendant light, one bottle of glue is usually more than enough.

Step 3: Mark guide circles on the plastic balls

Once your glue is ready, it’s time to mark your guide circles on the plastic ball. Use circular objects of three different sizes, such as a small tape roll, a bowl, or a glass to trace outlines onto the ball's surface with a marker.

Note: Draw a small circle at the top (for the lamp socket) and two larger circles at the opposite end (to create the open structure at the bottom of the shade).

Pro Tip: Position your circles so the air valve of the ball is centered within one of them. This allows you to deflate and remove the ball easily once the shade is finished.

Step 4: Soak & Wrap

Unroll your hemp rope and submerge it completely in the glue mixture. Ensure it is thoroughly soaked (the better the absorption), the sturdier your lamp will be.

Once fully saturated, begin wrapping the rope around the ball. You can wrap it freely in any direction, but be careful to avoid the marked circles. These areas must remain clear of any rope to create the necessary openings.

Repeat the process for any additional lamps. After wrapping, allow the shades to dry for about 30 minutes. Once the glue is completely hardened, removing the plastic ball will be a breeze.

Step 5: Remove the balls

Take your utility knife and carefully pierce a hole in the ball to let the air escape.

Gently squeeze the plastic ball to speed up the deflation, then cautiously pull it out through one of the circular openings. Your rustic shade is now structurally sound and ready for installation!

Step 6: Assemble & Light Up

Install the lamp socket, screw in your bulb, and hang the fixture in your desired spot.

Connect the power and light it up! The warm glow combined with the organic, natural texture will provide an unexpected and stunning focal point for your rustic-inspired room.
