Fun DIY Bubble Light Fixture

November 8, 2021 By Chelsea Lipford Wolf 1 Comment

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.

DIY Bubble Light Fixture

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 !

Happy 3rd birthday🎈to the biggest mama’s girl Happy 3rd birthday🎈to the biggest mama’s girl I’ve ever known! She weighs as much as her big siblings but still likes Mommy to hold her.😜 She’s got plenty of sass and insists on doing everything herself. Which is why she normally has hair in her face and a tornado of chaos all around her. Pretty much our life since she came into it. But the best kind of chaos that grows and stretches you and teaches you to slow down and accept them just the way they are.☺️

Can’t believe it’s been 3 years!🥺

FINALLY painted this eyesore of a wall and finishe FINALLY painted this eyesore of a wall and finished just before dark last night!🙌🏻 My husband and I decided instead of starting a new project (ahem a baby nursery) we should finish the projects we’ve already started. Since baby is due in the summer, it will be so nice to have our backyard up to par so we can rest and relax out there during recovery. ☺️
.
.
We started this project back in October by stripping and scraping the many layers of paint so we could waterproof the bricks and paint the wall to match the house. But the house was painted exactly a year ago. So it was way past time to knock this huge item of the time-do list. And it feels like such a relief to not have to walk by the unfinished-ness every time we come home now!
.
.
Next up we’ll slowly tackle patching hardwood floors and finish painting and replacing our interior doors that are taking up room in our garage.👏🏻

What’s something you’ve knocked off your to-do list lately?!
Happy Sunday! Love these little Easter babies of m Happy Sunday! Love these little Easter babies of mine! And definitely loving this beautiful spring weather we’ve been having lately!☀️Don’t forget Sunday is a day of rest and to give yourself some time to relax today.💆🏼‍♀️
Easter Sunday always feels special!✝️✨ Easter Sunday always feels special!✝️✨
