I saw Kuu pendant light quite
a while ago and I wanted to have it!
a while ago and I wanted to have it!
Even with such a great price £77 for a
small version I still couldn’t afford it! I decide to make one instead, because
I can! I also really wanted to! Just to show you that even if something seem to
be reasonably priced, there is another way to get it, you can make it! I
originally wanted to do a video but my computer wouldn’t want to work with me
so sorry this time DIY only written! I did a small trip to my local fabric
store and spend about £10 in total for accessories. I did a little longer version of the
traditional Kuu light. Just so I can be different 😉
Here is the easiest ever DIY fabric pendant light to do and super easy
instructions!
instructions!
You will need:
1.
Fabric. Preferably cotton, quite thick and
structured. If you are re-using bed sheets, get yourself fabric spray the same
you use for your husband/boyfriend shirts or any laundry stiffener! This will
help to create the texture.

2.
Pendant light rings. These will hold the
structure away from fabric and you can hang them. You can buy these in any
Hobby Craft or DIY pendant light kits. (separated is cheaper as cost around £2)

To create pendant like that you will also need 2 cheeky cats, especially one brown tabby one, who loves getting into tunnels, boxes etc. scroll below to check what I mean 😉

The method is pretty easy. You need to cut the fabric in the
shape of your desired size. Then roll up both edges and sew them. Leave enough
space to be able to get the string inside. Sew the edges sized together! Pull the string on one side
and tidy it up! Place your rings inside and attached the light bulb. Pull the
top. Vualla! Done! Easy? Huh?

Tip! You can put your string already inside the edge roll up
so you won’t need to struggle like I did! Gosh took ages;)

It's very artistic! I'd love it in a studio or in the gym, I couldn't have it in my my living room I'm so OCD I'd keep playing with the cords and straightening it haha!
Looks lovely I've never seen anything like it, thanks for sharing! x

I love Kuu lights, I never knew that's what they were called though! You're so creative, and at the end of the day I bet your light is even better than that silly £77 one! Stephanie x
