Have you seen these awesome light fixtures ?

I love them and started brainstorming some ideas. As it turns out, I am not the only one that had the same idea.

Unfortunately, I didn’t find this little gem at Dear Emmaline , until after I had already run some trial and error.
So… I would suggest using her tutorial, it is much more detailed, but here is the process I took.

You will need 2 SETS of the same size hoops. They come in a variety of sizes. So you can choose the size that fits your space.

I would suggest using spray primer on the hoops before attempting to paint.

I decided to use spray paint, instead of staining the hoops. I wanted the hoops to look like cast iron. This was the best idea I could come up with. I love all the amazing things that spray paint can do!

Pre-drill holes. (This will prevent the wood hoops from splitting.)

Drill in screw to your pre-drilled holes. You will want very short screws, the ones I used where 1/4″ I believe?

Ta da. You can take the guts from another light fixture, or you can do something similar to what Emmaline did. Ikea carries these cords and they are only $5.00, this would be a very simple way to make a hanging lamp.

Good luck and enjoy.
