DIY jute pendant light for dining room

Let me show you how I made our new dining room pendant light that was inspired by the Lulu and Georgia Tarek Pendant Light. It’s made from thrifted lampshade cage frames and jute yarn for a fraction of the cost of the inspiration light and it looks super stylish in our dining room.
Dining room lighting tends to be so expensive but doesn’t have to be if you just try to make your own.

I’m so doing this for an outdoor light above my dining table under a tree. Figured I could protect it from the elements by wrapping it in a plastic when not in use. Ty for this!

[@juliakonya7266]

You could use a synthetic cord which also helps protect it from the elements. I have done that with outdoor macrame pieces. Good luck!

[@aprilhumen1229]

@@juliakonya7266 great idea!

[@juliakonya7266]

@@aprilhumen1229 cuckoo4design.com/metal-patio-table-makeover/ The type of cord used in this tutorial of mine is usually what I use for outdoor projects

[@morganpraxhome562]

I am so impressed! I've tried to make pendant lights before but I couldn't figure out what to use as the base that would be big enough. I never thought to use thrifted lamp shades! Mind blown! 🤯 You are a genius!

[@juliakonya7266]

Thank you Morgan. I wish the metal frame cages were a bit easier to find ;)

[@oldladytoofast]

@@juliakonya7266 can you solder coat hanger wire? If so the possibilities using newer syle lamp shades would be great. I was always chicken to try soldering. You have inspired me to try!!

[@juliakonya7266]

@@oldladytoofast I'm a soldering newbie so I'm not sure about coat hangers. Sorry

[@oldladytoofast]

@@juliakonya7266 I'll def let you know what I find out. It sure could be a great source of material to lengthen or make shades.

[@oldladytoofast]

I watched a YT video where the creator used a bic lighter to solder coat hangers because he didnt have a solder iron. Definitely going to try it with hangers

Omg from the thumbnail I though you used Jute cloth but you went extra hardcore with twine😵 loved it❤

[@juliakonya7266]

Haha thanks!

[@WCarey-nz7lx]

That's really beautiful and would have cost probably $100 to buy, awesome!

[@juliakonya7266]

Thank you

[@LightningGamer2391]

Amazing!! The jute you used is how many mm? Tya

[@Belajar55]

❤

wow

[@Equestrian81]

This is beautiful 😍 May I ask what thickness of jute twine you used? In the UK we get anything from 1mm (extra fine) to 4mm+. It’s believe standard is 2mm but yours looks that bit finer… thanks in advance 🙏🏻

[@juliakonya7266]

Thanks! It's the exact one that I linked to in the description from Amazon which says it's 2.32mm

[@Evgenia_M]

Thank you for such lesson! Could you tell me Where do you buy iron sticks? I cant find them on aliexpress. Thank you!
