    Nice idea but the vent holes you created were covered up by the screw flange as well as the mason jar retainer ring. Not that the light needs venting other than to prevent possible condensation if used outdoors. You might want to actually get a glass/tile drill bit and make the holes in the bottom of the jar or wait until its finished to drill the holes in the lid so you can make sure the light is vented. A safer way to make the hole in the lid for the light itself is to purchase a hole saw to the size you need made for drilling into metal.

    You take the thingy and the watchamacallit right after the huskerdoo. Then apply the doodad to the thingamabob on the widget. All so very technical ladies.

    Thanks for the ideas! Ive made alot of these lamps from goodwill lamps and they are never the same project, you always have to figure out how the heck to make it work. Thanks so much for the ikea idea! Ive been looking around everywhere for one that easy to do! Great video!

    I did enjoy this tutorial. I was forwarded this video by my friend who wants me to make him some -- he has not yet realized the joy of creating with one's hands and the pride of saying "I made it." He wants to put a small LED light inside and put something with color in the bottom, perhaps glass beads or plastic "gems" that can be found in craft stores.
    Thanks for the detail about the vent holes. He won't need them with LED bulbs, but regular bulbs might be a hazard without them.
    Just a PS: Cost Plus carries that same type of cord and fixture in white, in case anyone is looking for that effect. It's by the large round paper lanterns.

    This project was really awesome!! An ALTERNATIVE idea- instead of punching a bunch of holes in the metal and rubber lid (which was really hard for me) i used a DVD case (NOT a plastic CD case) and made a circle the same size at the lid and cut a hole in the middle. It works just as well (: i really enjoyed the video!!!! great idea!

    First, y'all are a cute pair and did a great job. Second, what were the lumens on the bulb you used? How much light does it generate at night? I want to create a bright outdoor light for a dinner party, but can't chance heat build up and issues with cracking or, worse yet, exploding ball jar. What has your experience been so far.

  • @bulletinthewind
    @bulletinthewind 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    You ladies are great!!! Looks awesome. Some feedback on the project for next time;
    1) You don't have to make a circle of tiny holes and then rip the centre out with pliers. It's soft. A good pair of scissors will get the job done if you don't have tin snips.
    2) The ventilation holes you made were covered up when you screwed the plate to the socket...hmmm.
    Otherwise, great job!!

    At Home Depot the cord and socket set was $5.47, at Ikea it was $8.00....or you can get a really cheap lamp at Goodwill /Salvation Army stores, take the socket/cord set from this.....Hang 3 at different lengths for a really great look for a country kitchen....I may do this when I redecorate our kitchen...Doing a Tuscan kitchen.....Thanks girls...

    I made one and looks really neat and hung it over my kitchen sink. I had a complaint from my other half that it has sort of a garage utility light feel. I worry that he may be right. Although it's neat to look at, I am not sure that in that lighting application it looks best. Still getting used to it though, maybe we just need to get used to it.

    @freedomdove 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    A Dremel tool (or some other similar brand) would cut that lid *so* much cleaner. You could even sand it afterwards with a different attachment to give it a smoother edge. Ask a handyman neighbor if they have one you can borrow if you can't afford one. They're worth the $50-100 if you do a lot of DIY because there are so many attachments available to do a myriad of tasks. A hole-saw that attaches to a drill would also work well. Put the lid & ring on the jar to secure the lid while working.

  • @discobean54
    @discobean54 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Maybe I looked in the wrong place. I went to the lighting section at Lowes like where they have lighting kits and cords and sockets and didn't see one of those, the socket that has the screw on part. What was it called? Maybe my Lowes just didn't have any? I ended up using a cord and socket that was attached to one of those metal clip on shop lights. I removed the metal shade part and the clip on thingy and was left with just a plug and socket but there wasn't a way to anchor it to the lid.

    A scroll saw will make cutting the lid a snap. Punch one hole thread the blade through and connect the blade to the saw. Then just run it like a sewing machine. Really cool light girls thanks.
