Just Google "Teal Pendant Light" and a million choices will pop up. I'm sure you'll find something you love!

Have you seen the light fixtures made from an old wine bottle? The bottom portion is cut off to make the fixture the height you want it.

I used mini-colanders for mine - they are all over Amazon in various colors. If you currently have can lights or other recessed lights you can get conversion kits at any home improvement store for around $15. The colanders ran me about $5, so for around $20 each, you will have really creative and good looking pendant lights. Mason jars also work well. See my red ones on my Pinterest page under Kitchen Lighting: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/283023157807939753/

Depends on what room in the house this is for. If it is for over a kitchen bench then you can do some really fun and funky options. Whereas for a bedroom you probably won't want an industrial look for example but something a little softer. I have in the past bought up cheap plain white drum shaped lampshades from Target and made them over using fabric or fancy paper which adheres really well with double sided sticky tape. You can easily peel this off and change the look of the lamp if the colour scheme in your home changes. Mine have been up for 3 years using double sided tape and no signs of the tape or fabric/paper falling off so far! I have used fabric, fancy paper and in one instance a table runner to change the look of my lamps. Ribbons also work well and anything such as bric brac or edgings with pom poms. You could also add crystals and such. Lamps are so diverse it really depends on your taste and existing décor as to what you come up with.
