This.
[Oh yeah. Add brass fasteners, 16 gauge wire, 24 gauge wire, cotton thread, hot glue, a pendant light, and about 8 hours of my life to that list. See more in the tutorial post!]
DIY Moravian Star Light~!
I've been loving the geometric trend lately, but had yet to indulge in it till this project.
For years I have been totally in love with these Moravian/Moroccan Star Light Fixtures.
Recognize these geometric beauties?
I used to see them everywhere, in all my favorite spaces. I guess I've always wanted to be a bohemian hippie. [Have I ever mentioned that my goal in life is to build and live in a geodesic dome for a summer? Yup.]
Side note: If you're thinking of doing this yourself, use a low/no heat emitting bulb. Go LED!
First draft experiment. Eeek.
Tutorial now available here!
