HOOP ORB PENDANT SCONCE
by Red's Rustic Rehab (IC: instagram)

Easy
View materials (5)
Let me explain the problem to start us off. My fiance is a violent sleeper on
occasion. He's a big guy, so nothing on his bedside table stands a chance when
he gets to tossing and turning, arms flail, lamps fall, any nick-nack decor gets
strewn across the room, so have figured out the predicament yet? Bedside
lighting. I have a lamp on my side of the bed, but he has broken his so many
times I have given up on traditional lamps. Wall sconces are often expensive and
tend to need hard wiring, with our wedding rapidly approaching, in 6 short
months, budget is tight, and electricians are a quite costly. Nothing is more
harsh than waking up to the ceiling light first thing in the morning, so here is
what I came up with...
Supplies: (for 2)
-Pendant lamp cords- I found mine on amazon for $14.99 for 2, they have 15 ft
braided cords too which is great, for this tutorial you will need the braided
cord in order to secure the cord to the orb, I'm sure there are other ways you
could do it, but this was honestly so simple, and was such a happy surprise!!
-6 embroidery hoops- I chose 10 inch, I wanted them to be pretty beefy but still
not too huge
-2 Edison bulbs - or any other decorative bulb of your choosing
-Upholstery Nails- 1 pack of 20 was all i used
-Wood glue ( or any other type of strong hold glue you have on hand would
probably be fine)
-Wood stain/Paint in color of choice
-Wall bracket (I got one from the dollar tree that is used to hang plants, I
will have a tutorial coming out soon on how to make a chunkier wooden bracket,
but this was my solution until that happens and it looks pretty nice!)
Stain or paint all your hoops, trust me, you want to do this first, I didn't
with the first one and made and kicked myself for not thinking to do this first
as I was trying to get stain into and out of all the little joints, such a
hassle, so do yourself a favor, start with that first. I used Varathayne in
Carrington for mine, its a nice rich brown that really pops with my white
bedroom furniture (Tutorial coming soon on these night stands I refinished last
week!) Once your paint of choice has dried, its time to start figuring out your
arrangement with the hoops, you can really do this any way you like, but i opted
for a more symmetrical orbital affect. You want to attempt to keep the metal
brackets together and at the top as these will be how the cord is supported in
the center of the pendant. I used 5 rings, so 2.5 hoop sets. 2 of the outer and
3 of the inner hoops, that last outer hoop will come in handy in a project I
will post for you all real soon!

Once you have the basic layout figured out, place a small amount of glue on the
joint where the 2 rings meet, then carefully ( I repeat carefully! I stabbed
myself with a rogue nail with my first attempt... I'm amazed I have all of my
digits still with as clumsy as I am!) place a nail on each of the joints, this
will add a nice metal aspect to the final result! Make sure to clean up any glue
that squeezes out before it dries, I needed to clamp some of mine in addition to
the nail to hold it all together while the glue dried. I ended up pre-drilling
the holes for the nail heads, and i wish I was more organized with my drill bits
and could tell you the size, but I just grabbed one from my tool box that was
about the same size as the nail... photo below....
Now, sit back and relax while your glue dries.....
Once the glue has dried (I let mine dry a few hours in the heat of the Georgia
sun and we were good to go, but its always a good idea to follow the
manufacturers directions) its time to attach the pendant light cord! So the cord
on the set I got was braided, its also covered in fabric, I chose it for the
decorative aspect it would bring with this light havinig an exposed cord, but it
really came in handy while attaching the shade to the cord. I gently seperated
the metal brackets at the top of the orb, positioned the light in the middle of
the orb where i liked it, then very carefully pulled the two sides of the cord
apart and screwed the screw back through the bracket. I did the same thing for
the opposing bracket just so it was nice and secure! And thats it! Now all thats
left if to mount the bracket and hang this little fella!
Mount the bracket of choice on the wall, follow the directions that come with
your bracket, mine didn't come with any since it was from the dollar tree, it
did however come with 2 screws. I plan on replacing this fairly soon any how, so
I just screwed it directly into the drywall. You might want to use an anchor if
you opt to use these brackets permanantly. I didn't see the need to find a stud
since this little lamp weighs hardly anything, if your renting you could
probably even hang this off the ceiling with a command hook made for Christmas
lights (assuming your cord is long enough to reach...)
Once your bracket is mounted adjust your lamp to the ideal height for your
decor, and you my friend, are done!
I hope you liked this tutorial! I plan on posting another tutorial on how I
build the bracket next few weeks, so keep eyes open for that!
If you enjoyed this tutorial and build one of these cuties for yourself, I would
love to see it! Tag me on Instagram @Redsrusticworkshop and follow me there for
