How to turn a plastic jug into a modern pendant lamp.

By DIY Maven

RePlayGround was inspired by a lamp project in the January ‘07 issue of ReadyMade and came up with this eco-friendly alternative. The ReadyMade version uses paperwood whereas this clever option uses a 1-gallon plastic jug of the vinegar or windshield washer fluid variety. Other ingredients you’ll need include:

2 pairs of chopsticks (leftover from take-out night)
fishing line
8 #47 O-rings or small black rubberbands
a hanging lamp, like Ikea’s Hemma ($3.99)

For assembly instructions, head on over to RePlayGround.
