Fun DIY Bubble Light Fixture

Make your own bubble-inspired light fixture to hang by a bed or as an accent in any room! Whimsical, charming and inexpensive to do-it-yourself!

I’ve been wanting to make this light fixture for close to a year now! It was originally planned for the kids’ playroom to replace an old ceiling fan that didn’t have a light. But once I built my new brick accent wall, I knew it belonged there! And bonus that it was SO easy to put together and took less than a hour!🙌🏻

Materials

You can order everything you need and have it delivered to your door step. Gosh it’s a great time to be alive!🤪

  • plug-in light bulb socket*
  • clear plastic ornaments* (x2)
  • fishing line*
  • clear light bulb*

Assemble Ornaments

I found it easier to string everything up if the cord of the light socket was hanging from a coat rack. If you don’t have a coat rack, maybe you can trick…I mean convince…your spouse into holding it for you. Or drape it over a curtain rod or hook on the back of your door!

Click together all of your clear ornaments. They arrive in 2 pieces that should click together easily. Be sure to line up the hanging holes.

Then tie a double knot of fishing line through the hole of your first ornament. Cut about 12 or so inches so you have plenty of line to tie it to the fixture too.

Make Bubbles

Start by tying your ‘bubbles’ around the cord of the light socket. I tied 4-5 around the same height to create the first row. Then worked my way down adding bubbles to fill out the look of it.

Make sure each row touches the row above it to cover up the light bulb inside. Once I got to rows 3 and 4, I tucked the fishing line into the sculpture so the bubbles hung below the previous row.

There’s no rule on how it should look as long as it looks good to you! If it looks like a bunch of grapes, then you’re headed the right direction!😆

    It’s really hard to see the design since it’s against a white-washed wall … would love to see it with a black background. Love your ideas !

Didn’t mean for this to be #ASMR but here we are Didn’t mean for this to be #ASMR but here we are!🤷🏼‍♀️ I bought this orchid 15 months ago to use the flowers in our hair for my sister’s wedding. I’ve already repotted it once and it’s bloomed 3-4 times! Time to do it again with a pretty new pot that matches our new kitchen cabinets!🤩
.
.
Steps to repot an orchid:
1-large pot without drainage holes
2-plastic pot slightly smaller with holes
3-trim if needed so plastic pot is at or below outside pot
4-add layer of orchid specific potting mix (it looks like bark!)
5-add orchid, fill in around roots with more bark- don’t forget to add some mix under the leaves!
6-to water, soak bark and fill up outside pot, rinse the leaves too!
7-let sit for 5-10 minutes, then drain and dry the outside of your pot.
8-set in place and enjoy!🌷
New laundry, who dis? Our laundry room was a BLANK New laundry, who dis? Our laundry room was a BLANK slate after the kitchen renovation left it reconfigured too. So Dad and I tackled simple projects that make this space functional and of course visually pleasing too!👏🏻The full project airs this weekend on @todayshomeowner!

I love that the cabinets and hardware match what we have in the kitchen since the spaces are right next to each other! Synergy!
