DIY String Pendant Lights

[@paxmagellanic498]

To avoid the frustration, don't pre soak the twine in glue water mixture. Just soak the first few inches.. then twine the ball, Then, apply the glue with a brush. Less messy and easier to wrap. Have a great day!

[@rashmitharushi7057]

Thank you for the tip ❤️

[@beverlyannrogers3388]

Love the look, my puppy wined at the ball part😂😂😂love your videos. Thank you for sharing ❤

They look great!!! I covered my dog’s eyes during the ball-popping part because she would have been sad like your cute pupper.

Love this idea for my kitchen lights above the island. Obviously, just like you did!

[@kristenfromOZ]

My goodness your lights look AMAZING! Thankyou for this great video and the reality of making them. I can't wait to make mine oxox

[@stacyhanson1271]

The strig pendants made the lights 200% better. Now when are you going to go out and buy some balls for your fur baby. You must make his heart 200% better! pets and hugs to the fur babies. Thank you for this video.

[@Zhentouu]

They look great. Going to try in my large living room...using beach balls!! 😁

[@paulakarrigan7068]

I love this tutorial & you had me laughing with the line “he saw what happened to his brother’s” & when u added the heartbreaking words, sad song & slow motioned your dog sadly watching you pop those lovely balls 🤣 Btw I’m a former teacher & years ago I had an Asian mother show my class how to make Christmas ornaments very much like this, but of course ornaments for a tree aren’t as heavy. So; we used yarn, (round) ballon’s blown up small & medium sized & glue & we created these beautiful ornaments & then some students chose to roll the ballon with yarn around it soaked in glue into glitter. Others waited a few days & chose to paint the dry glued yarn ornaments with craft paint. I personally took mine home & spray painted my smaller sized ones with glitter white & my medium sized ones with bronze gold & they were beautiful on my tree for a few years. I believe they could have lasted longer, but as they were stored each year after Christmas apparently some were getting crushed & the shapes became very distorted. I’ve now learned to tell other’s to be sure to store them in a box or plastic container with only the yarn ornaments so nothing else will crush or squeeze them 😉

[@judithtrampas5549]

Thank you for making this video! I watched it a while back and have finally been able to make this. I no longer feel like I'm under an interrogation light while eating my dinner. LOL!

[@iammedusa2600]

I just found this again and am going to make it too. We feel the same way eating dinner lol.

[@3jcespinosa]

Beautiful! I’m gonna try but small ones for decor on my living room table and my room .. Thanks for sharing😍👍🏻

[@Artcc2019]

Thank you for the tip of keeping the newspaper fresh... I wonder if plastic would work better we will see

[@paulamartins767]

Love this, going to try it for my country Brazilian house. Loved the doggo too ❤ I bet he was not pleased about his balls 😂😂😂

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

This is beautiful! You taught me something new with your creative mind and talented hands. You video was clear and easy to follow and captivating to watch. I make diy craft videos too. I’m thankful to learn so much from other creators like you. I hope we can continue to learn from each other!

[@ashleystephens7973]

They look great! I like how you used the bouncy balls. I’ve only seen it done with balloons and that end up having a funky oval shape.

[@myrag1176]

Oh gosh you made me laughed at the 4 minute time 😆😂😂 totally did not expected that.. love your results and thank you for the tip Im thinking of making one thanks for your video. and great job!

[@rhodacrosby1749]

Awesome. I was just trying to figure a way to make use of broken mirrors and I thought of this project. I was thinking if I can create a string globe and afterwards hot glue some glass shards to cast some light around it might almost give the area a chandelier effect.

[@shespeaks1971]

Rhoda Bruce That’s a great idea and I just happen to have broken a 5 foot tall mirror that goes on the back of a door bedroom and it’s all in one piece except for the top foot part so I didn’t want to throw it away I wanted to do something with it and I think you just gave me an excellent idea. thank you!

[@mommygarcia9137]

Wow the came out absolutely beautiful ! So bohoish !

Creating a lamp and glue from just a rope and balloon can indeed be a simple and creative project. Here's how you can do it: Materials Needed: Rope (preferably cotton or jute rope) Balloon LED light bulb or lamp kit (optional) Glue (for making glue from rope) Scissors Paint (optional) Paintbrush (optional) Steps: 1. Making Glue from Rope: Cut the rope into small pieces and place them in a container. Add enough water to cover the rope pieces. Let the rope soak in water for at least 12 hours or overnight. After soaking, blend or mash the rope pieces until they form a thick, sticky paste. This paste will act as glue for your project. 2. Creating the Lampshade: Inflate the balloon to the size you want for your lampshade. Keep in mind the size of your LED light bulb or lamp kit. Dip the rope pieces into the homemade glue and start wrapping them around the balloon. Make sure to overlap the rope pieces to create a sturdy structure. Continue wrapping the rope around the balloon until you achieve the desired shape and thickness for your lampshade. Leave a small opening at the bottom for inserting the LED light bulb or lamp kit. 3. Letting it Dry: Hang the balloon with the wrapped rope in a well-ventilated area to dry completely. This may take 24-48 hours, depending on the thickness of the rope and the humidity levels. 4. Adding Optional Decorations: Once the rope lampshade is completely dry, you can paint it with acrylic paint if you want to add color or decorative patterns. Let the paint dry completely before moving on to the next step. 5. Deflating and Removing the Balloon: Once the rope lampshade is fully dried and any paint is dry, carefully deflate the balloon and remove it from inside the lampshade. You may need to pop the balloon and peel it away from the inside of the lampshade. 6. Installing the Light Source: Insert the LED light bulb or lamp kit into the opening at the bottom of the lampshade. If you're using a lamp kit, follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembly and wiring. 7. Hanging or Placing the Lamp: Hang the lampshade from a ceiling hook or place it on a lamp base, depending on your preference. 8. Enjoy Your Rope Lamp! Turn on the light and admire your handmade rope lamp! Adjust the placement and brightness of the light to create the desired ambiance in your space. This project offers a simple and rustic way to create a unique lampshade using just a rope and balloon. Feel free to customize it with different rope thicknesses, colors, or shapes to suit your style preferences.

[@yahayra7679]

I love this!!! Definitely gonna try this when I move away for college !

[@pipiwilson7854]

I 💕 everything about this video. 🏆 I'm using ball pit balls for small string lights. I'll try your method as well 👌

[@carolynmcwhite650]

That was great loved the idea, but in my personal opinion I think that Edison lightbulbs would like fabulous with your DYI project

[@cecilia9th]

O.M.G I love, love, love them!

[@missourikatt]

Fantastic! How can I use this idea but for string lights?

[@lcrisci2002]

LOL @ Sarah music montage! They turned out great! 👍 Luisa

[@lcrisci2002]

And btw, so glad to see you cleaned away the visible glue remnants. Totally made my OCD flare when I saw other DIYers leave the glue showing in the openings of their string shades!! 😂😂

[@alittledarlingwithabigstor8585]

Do you have a video on how you did this background? It's very pretty!

[@rosied9098]

The finished product was worth the effort. Do they get real dusty?

Love your background 😍

So sweet how you honor your husband!

[@munazahadnan9838]

Hey sweety that was the best video on the topic actually ✌️ and my hubby also encourages me for my art projects 😍 he's a darling. Can I use thin consistency cement or plaster of paris, instead of glue. Actually I don't have glue right now, and I can't wait 😂 Just wondering why didn't you deflate the ball instead of puncturing it... Pls guide me about the cement option. I'm waiting. Much love 🌸

[@udoitnow1]

Those turned out beautifully! Do you have a video for the flower picture behind you? It's so pretty.

[@djalilakhedda4062]

Formidable !! Svp quel type de colle vous avez utilisé ?? Celle du papier ou de bois??

Do you think I could attach one of these rope lights over my bathroom light fixture. I have the cheap 4 light bathroom fixture that comes with my townhouse?

[@enaidadejesus5438]

Love it🥰

[@kristalr123]

I love what u made. But I have a question...I'm assuming u made that super cute rose thingy behind u. How can I make pne?

[@sxduranable]

Wow! Great job!!!

[@charlenemock333]

I like how you did this but balloons are a whole lot cheaper than using rubber bouncy balls. Just thought I would give you a heads up that balloons work as well.

[@yolandahayes1354]

[@ชูวิทย์พิมสิม]

[@christinasaldana9613]

I love that you're funny 💗

[@shespeaks1971]

I wonder if you were to suspend the ball in the air from the ceiling with some wire and let it hang down in and then put the sticky string on that way.

[@kieraroo]

What size Jute Twine should we be Using?

[@eventelementsjamaica4871]

😂😂😂😂 the insert clip!

[@hollyxo.]

[@petebutler5139]

Use wood glue next time and don’t thin it with water.

[@lisamedlin96]

Very nice. Job well done!

[@gtoguy71]

Did you make those flowers on your wall?

[@chika4682]

Thanks for your tutorial! I attempted this and it came out nice but I am noticing I have a lot of excess glue in between the twine. What is the best way to get rid of this?

[@Artcc2019]

I thought I heard her say use a toothbrush

[@Lolikuki-g3]

Beautiful great job how much yarn do I needed

Love it!❤

[@heatherchupp3410]

Did you happen to make the flowery piece behind you?

[@littleladyreviews5553]
