Today I thought I'd share this sweet little DIY with you.When I replaced my bedroom fixture with a pretty capiz number, I didn't want to just get rid of the black chandelier that had been there. I had the idea to change it from a hard wire to a plug to make it like a lamp, so that I can move it around. I thought it would look pretty awesome leaning on one of the living room consoles in the corner.
1. Purchase a plug/converter, mine was $3.46, from your local hardware store. I asked someone in the electrical aisle to help me pick out the correct plug type.
Here's how to make it...
2. Open up plug. Make a hook shape out of the wire light fixture ends once the marrettes are off and tighten hooked wire ends under screws, hot to hot and cool to cool.
3. Close and assemble plug.
4. Test to make sure it works.5. Voila, sexy, unexpected, casually leaning chandelier. Here it is all glam at night.
Hope you like this as much as I do. Happy Friday! xo
I love this idea as I have a chandy that I'm not hanging any longer but I still love. Thanks for sharing!
