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 !

Lookie! It’s a shelf for your bookies! 🤣Build Lookie! It’s a shelf for your bookies! 🤣Building a shelf unit custom for ANY space in your home is so simple and can be done over and over again to add much needed storage aka sanity! The kids were running all over the house at bedtime trying to find a book to read because we had them stashed in baskets and shelves in several different rooms. So I took advantage of this space in the hall next to a closet to create a central location for their books and some of mine too! Plus it adds a little character to an otherwise blah space!🙌🏻

3D art install in my girls’ girly bedroom!🦋😍Love this $13 pack of butterflies that comes with everything you need to fill a large wall! And it only takes 30 minutes!🙌🏻 Putting the link to the butterflies in my bio! (https://amzn.to/3VmfZsB)

First step is to layout the flow of your fluttering butterflies with the large and medium sizes from the pack, leaving room for the small ones. Then fill in spaces with the small size and pat yourself on the back! So easy!
The whole Wolfpack has been staying at my parents’ house on the river for the past week while our hardwood floors are being refinished. Since the kids had the whole week off of school it has really felt like a vacation! Complete with a sunny Sunday boat ride after Mass!🥰🚤☀️Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😘
