DIY Ceiling Light From A Thrift Store Lamp Shade
I used some small hooks in the ceiling to hang a shade over an existing flush mount. good luck!
the light has a rod in the center that you can attach a lampshade to. got it.
Find vegetable baskets or wire baskets. You need two people for the next steps, and sturdy steps to stand on. Remove the glass domes and clean them. Trace the lip of one dome on a piece of paper and cut the tracing out. Lay the tracing on the bottoms of the baskets (opposite the open side) and cut a hole in each that size. If the dimes are different sizes, make specific tracings for each basket. Now, place the basket up against the ceiling, hold it; replace the dome. Get down safely. There you have them: very trendy farmhouse or industrial lighting in the most spacious rooms in your apartment or house. Best wishes ☺️
