Wednesday DIY - simple cluster pendant lamp from IKEA

If you're looking for a new project to start 2012, how about this light? All you need is several IKEA SKURER plant pots and a few electrical cords. Drill a hole in the bottom of each plant pot and voila! A cluster pendent light like the one below! Thank you Plaza Interiors, for the inspiration.

The beauty of this light is that you can also just make one or two to hang over a table. Or if you prefer the more colourful approach you could also choose a coloured flex or spray paint the plant pots. Personally I love the simple nature of the white design above. Happy DIY! Oh and if you make one, don't forget to share it with us!

Fantastic blog Desire to Inspire asked readers to send in pictures of their beloved 'pets on furniture'. The results are wonderful! After looking at these pics you might just allow your dog on the sofa afterall, as long as he matches the decor of course.
