DIY Light Cages for an Inexpensive Update to Any Light Fixture

We've had this basic light fixture in our kitchen for years. It's not that it's bad looking, I just like to change things up and I wanted to add more style. I love the industrial look of Edison style light bulbs and light cages.... but I didn't want to spend a lot of money and I didn't want to permanently alter the look of this fixture.
I bought cheap, plastic light cages from the Home Depot and spray painted them silver.


I took the glass shades off and stored them in a safe place. So when this trend is over, I'll be able to pull them back out!!


See my blog for the full details!

    I am "desperately seeking" these light bulb cages. Checked @ Home Depot & Lowe's, so far only found the whole light fixture unit with this guard @ $6.97ea...not a bad price.......do you have the SKU # of the ones you bought? There are some on Amazon, but reviews don't sound too good.... LOVE your light fixture!! I want one too!!! Thanks, Linda

    How do you attach the cages to the fixture?

    Instead of buying the cages would plastic bottles work?
