Diamond Himmeli Pendant Light!

I made this adorable diamond pendant lite for my daughters room!

It's elementary together with uses 2 things from Ikea.

Straws together with a Hemma hanging light.

I dear a proficient Ikea hack!

You volition too require arts and crafts wire, pair of scissors together with a ruler.

And ane pocket-size zip tie.

So cheap! Ikea lights are $5 together with the straws are $2.

You volition require xv straws:

vi stay the total 8 inches
Cut eighteen Three inch pieces
together with vi ii inch pieces

Start amongst a length of wire.
String on the vi ii inch pieces.

Then add together triangles of 3 inch pieces on every 2 inch piece.

Until you lot brand a star of David shape.

Then add together the remaining vi 3 inch pieces to connect the tips of the triangles.

Like this.
If you lot run out of wire, cutting some other length together with twist it on.
I intend I used nearly 8 yards of wire, but exclusively nearly 2 yards at a time.

Just similar this.

And repeat, twist the wires inward the middle to the other wires spell you lot are
wiring it on for to a greater extent than stability.

Then it is complete. Looks adorable together with diamond like!

Now to house inward the light.

It was non scientific. I simply ran to a greater extent than wire inward every top straw and
across the middle amongst each department twice.
And roll them tight roughly the wire of the pendant light.
Then I simply tightened a zip necktie higher upward the wires to overstep away along everything tight together with inward place.

The lite I am using is an LED color changing remote controlled light.
It does non instruct hot during use, hence it is fine to live this unopen to the plastic straws.
Do non piece of employment a lite that gets hot.

Then hang it upward inward the desired spot amongst the hardware included inward the
lite kit from Ikea.
