DIY glass pendant from jar/canister?
I can’t find information on this, but was wondering if you could take a glass jar/canister/bowl and turn it into a pendant light. Any safety precautions or issues with this? Thanks!

It's not too hard to drill a hole in the glass but you need a special drill bit.
Hi Bailey. I think it would be fun to make a pendant light. I see them made a lot on the Home and Garden channel that I watch. You can take a stroll thru Home Talk's pendant projects. Just click on the little blue house at the top of this page, left-hand corner. Boxes will drop down according to categories. Click upcycle. And go from there. Good luck Bailey. Be well.
They are safe to do now because light bulbs do not generate the heat like they used to years ago. As long as they are connected up properly they should be fine.
Use an LED bulb, they are cooler.

Mason Jar Light Pendant
There are little fairy lights or LED strips that can be placed into the fixture for some interesting lighting effects. I have seen it done in clear wine bottles. The downside is that you need to drink the wine first.
