PERKED-UP PENDANT
Gussy up a basic wire shade
with nylon webbing strips,
this photo. Our lampshade
dictated the design of this
project; adapt the design
to fit your wire frame. First,
determine the number of
strips you’ll need and the
length. Ours are long enough
to rest on the wire below
when folded in half and glued
in place. Cut strips of flat
nylon webbing and heat-
seal each end. Starting at the
bottom of the frame, loop a
strip around the wire and hot-
glue it to itself. Repeat until
the lampshade is complete.
If your frame allows, finish
the top by weaving a strip of
webbing around the section
and gluing it to itself.

BECAUSE THE NYLON
STRIPS CAN MELT, USE
AN LED LIGHTBULB
AND MAKE SURE
THE STRIPS DO NOT
TOUCH THE BULB
DIRECTLY.
