DIY Doily Light: Simple Suspended-Sphere Lace Lamp Shade. So simple a child could make it – and have fun in the process, too. And the result? A shining example of how light and shadow can work together to brighten up a room.

Swedish craftswoman Isabelle Dos started with a simple party-shop balloon, blown up big and wrapped in white lace place settings painted with wallpaper glue. The soaked material sticks readily to the sides of the inflated sphere, overlapping to form a contiguous shell, suspended and left to dry overnight like a plaster cast.

Finished. first we mocked everything out in the 1/2" black steel... we used two 4 foot pipes for the sides, and a 3 foot pipe for the top and two 18" pipes with a union for the bottom... we changed a few things at this point.. bottom structure... changed to T's instead of elbows... needed to use 3" pipes to support the wood shelf... then added a 45 degree elbow and plug at the top for a hanging front and back hook... moved the union and 18" pipes to the bottom to be covered by the wood shelf... *a union must be used because the threading on one side of your pipe will unscrew itself as you tighten the opposite side... we used two 1"x8" oak for the shelf... joined together underneath...I wanted to use old (free) wood and nothing we had was wide enough and/or long enough...

The stovepipe is not included in the kit. After assembling the kit, I added firebricks to prolong the life of the bottom of the barrel. HomeMade Modern DIY Concrete Pendant Lamp.
