How to make a pendant lamp seen in PB Teen

Susan McConnell on Apr 04, 2015Could you cut circles out of laminating plastic or clear plastic cookie and cake box covers, c13 I think it is called, try using Easter egg dye/food coloring to see if it take that color, another choice would be to try using a high lighter to see how the color takes. If the coloring works then either staple the circles into strings, or pierce the top and bottom with a darning needle and tie together with fishing lineHelpful Reply

Wendy Vasion on Apr 04, 2015cut the circles from plastic milk jugs...... I'm likin' this idea. Go over edges with fine grained sand paper. Acrylic paint thinned with Elmer's glue to give the transparent and glossy effect.Helpful Reply

Valerie on Apr 05, 2015I would see if I could lay my hands on an old lamp shade, then strip it and use that as the frame. I have a box of these 'discs' which I purchased years ago. It is not a light, but a 'curtain'. The ones I have are clear/white, but I love the color of the ones in your photograph, and am inspired to also give this a try. I think I would try dying the 'discs' using either Kool Aid or food coloring. Please keep us all posted on what you do!Helpful Reply

Cookie on Apr 05, 2015Try paillettes - large round flat sequins that come in all kinds of colors and sizes. Second choice would be to make the disks out of stained glass paints. The ones that dry clear. I've made rippley glass with the light green to imitate antique glass and it is very pliable and easy to cut. I made rows and rows of wavy lines so they merged with each other and then when it dried it looked like a sheet of bumpy glass.1 marked as helpful Reply

Valerie on Apr 06, 2015You could join the discs together using jump rings. This are sold at bead or craft shops and would be ideal for the purpose. I am sure you would probably also be able to buy small S-rings to join the ones at the top to the circle. I really like Wendy Vasion's idea of using plastic milk jugs.Helpful Reply

Amy Ogden-Paparone on Apr 06, 2015You can use a white drop light, a metal wreath form, sprayed white and then attach the capiz with fine fishing line. Can't wait for you to post the finished product when you finally make it :)Helpful Reply

Ann on Apr 09, 2015I made a faux capiz shell table chandelier with wax paper (iron 4 sheets together) then cut with circle punches. Then I sewed and even hot glued long strings and then attached them to an old lamp shade frame. I've been wanting to add color to the next one with ground up crayons between the wax paper layers. Experiment with colored tissue and wax paper? Good luck!...Helpful Reply

Lindestorme McMahon on Apr 18, 2015You can do the wax paper by layering 4 sets of wax paper together then using the circle punch. But I don't know how to make them colored paint seems to solid but I have not tried yet.Helpful Reply
