$50 for a shade sounds expensive to me 😂

Dude didn't you see her house bullish same type of people that complain about working from home

I have an expensive taste too but some times I can't just spend my money on some certain things , I rather do it myself with cheaper materials and it always comes out looking luxury and more expensive than the original.

@@DinmaclassicTV U explain right But still her cheap plastic one no even closer to the expensive one lol

@@maggie9312 funny you . Is the expensive look we are talking about not the price.

Indeed lol

​@@The_AvantGarde can you do a day and night that resembles day vs night ? 🫡

retexturing a pendant is easy, came out great

But not the result

@@The_AvantGarde the funny part is you have made it worth vastly more by making it yourself as it is now hand made

That might’ve worked, but I think she wanted to avoid having that Ripple texture showing

Awesome space.

IKEA has always used their power cords to hang lamps… they are much heavier wire gauge

Some power cords are stronger and made to use for this purpose

@@timdooley8440 The word "IKEA" tells you everything you need to know about that sentence.

@@apocalypseinfantry5628 so you’re an engineer or an electrician… I’m both. 😂

Haha thank you! 😊

I did say that out loud too, “f*ck that’s nice” 😂

You did? I bet you probably did. Just as loud as I proclaimed "bbbuuuuullllllllllsssshhhhhhhhiiiiíttttttt"

I don’t say anything when I watch videos. Don’t talk to your phone

@@Billy-fy9dx tf

Thank you! I had no words to describe my style and taste, but THIS is perfect.

I prefer expensive beer to cheap champagne

I remember a realtor telling me that lol

Champagne taste on a lemonade budget.

Beer budget??? O, you 10%er! Lol We'd always say, "Champagne taste, ice water budget!" 🥂

Safe electrics? This Is a country that hammers in earth rods and then doesn’t bother with testing them (from the videos I’ve seen on here anyway) Wire nuts to join cables (potential high resistance leading to heating issues) and has bare terminals on socket outlets. I should think that lampshade is the least of the worries.

The overwhelming majority of new construction we use Concrete encased electrodes. And in the case that you are using ground rods unless you’re using a singular ground rod engineers have not found it to be necessary to test as it always meets the minimum amount of resistance needed. Wire nuts are only typically used on connections up to 10 gauge wire. Anything much larger than that you’re using split bolts or Polaris tabs. Very solid connection. As for the light you could make the point that it is not UL listed. And that material has not gone through testing to ensure no fire hazard. But realistically if you put a LED bulb in there I sincerely doubt there would ever be a risk of overheating.

I was thinking the same thing about fire hazard.

Everybody uses LED bulbs nowadays. They give off almost no heat; certainly not enough to set anything on fire.

Looks like glass

@@meatstix7115 definitely not glass

​@@meatstix7115 if it had been glass she would have needed a special drill bit for the hole and water on the surface while drilling 🙂

Imagine putting on goggles and a mask to drill a hole in a salad bowl lol

​@@BiggestRedditor imagine inhaling bits of plastic, or getting bits of plastic as slivers

Thank you! Cheers!

I was thinking the same thing until she covered them all up with that spackle.

Plastic bowl from party city Spackle Gold spray paint Grecian gold rub n buff Sand paper or sanding block Damp Sponge Drill with hole saw attachment In the end you may also need a lamp shade ring depending on your pendant!

​@@The_AvantGarde HOW AWESOME. Thank you so much for the materials list.💗

Wow!!

​@@The_AvantGarde the plastic won't melt?

Who the heck is not running leds in this day and age

​@@southernracing2468 the halogen man.

Even if you use a super bright bulb (20 W) you're going to be fine. Unless you're not using LEDs in which case what is wrong with you?!

@@southernracing2468 LEDS are awful for your eyes and sleep patterns though and constantly flicker which is over stimulating.

@@wanderingoldsoul420 I don’t doubt it luckily my house is naturally lit well in the day time so I don’t have to be under them all the time

LED lights don't even get warm to the touch anymore. Plus fabric lamp shades have been acceptable for longer than that even so proximity to the light bulb isn't an issue. As long as the weight is appropriately supported so strain isn't put on a cord that isn't meant to support it'll be fine

Hey hun, do you smell burning plastic😵‍💫

People use paper, wicker and all sorts for shades. As long as bulb doesn't get hot it's ok

Led bulbs are pretty good at not getting hot

That’s the question we all need to ask ourselves when diy’ing. That research before following blindly is important.

It’s just a plastic bowl with a light in it, shouldn’t be very heavy at all

@@godisdead6611 Maybe Teague is curious about how much the plaster weighs, not just the bowl.

@@bouldermimi1178 spackle is pretty light. It’s more like a moon sand density than cement

Yes if you’re being careful but that globe can’t withstand the heat that the lightbulb will let off and it will just melt the globe, it’s a huge safety hazard that’s just a plastic bowl she used a lightbulb let’s off an exponential amount of heat. When electricity is involved it’s not a diy it’s reckless.

@@chloes7497 you sound like the fun police👀 I'm sure there are ways to make it safer without having to spend thousands

LOL 😂

It's plastic

​@Beverley Johnson the coating isn't though. A tiny tub of filler is a kilo.

Are you sure it’s actually illegal? It’s quite unlikely that it would be illegal for the consumer to go through those kinds of regulations for manufactures. Anyways it’s potential danger but when is a “dyi” project ever smart.
