DIY Orb Light for the Dining Room

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with all the family!

And as a bonus, Husband and I finished up the new light for the dining room!

We started with this small chandelier I found at Lowe's for $6.00.

That's right, I said $6.00!

It was the display model and it was marked $12, 

but since it was the last one, they gave it to me for $6!

 I knew it would be too small for the dining room, 

but I wasn't about to pass it up!

So I got out some large embroidery hoops and spray painted them black.

I used the ones that have the opening so I could work around 

the light fixture that was already hanging up.

We figured out where to place the 3 hoops and used 

Liquid Nails at the top and bottom where they intersected.

I'm so happy with the result!

 And it was a great addition to the holiday table!

DIY Orb Light

I have wanted to make one of these lights ever since I first saw it on Pinterest!



It wasn't difficult at all.



I used 1 1/2 large embroidery hoops, screwed them together at the intersections, 



 then added a light kit from the hardware store.



Finally, light in the living room!
