    Upcycle a Vanity Light Strip to a Hanging Pendant Light

    These past few weeks have been jammed packed with getting over a crazy overload of allergy issues, DIY projects, lots of wonderful orders from our shop The Summery Umbrella and just overall trying to get our home back in order. Mike and I always attempt to work on one room/project at a time, but that never seems to work out. However, it seems to make for a very interesting and extremely creative way of thinking!

    So, head on over to Remodelaholic for this rewrite, or to my original post Mason Jar Pendant Light Post!

    6/12/15 UPDATE: I’ve heard through the grapevines that there have been a few concerns about exploding mason jars, and just thought I’d stop by and provide a little insight. Please remember, mason jars are designed for boiling water (aka. canning foods) so the heat that they are supposed to withstand is at the boiling point. With that being said, the heat from the bulbs will be significantly smaller when compared to boiling water. So, I can ensure you that the risk of these jars exploding is incredibly small. If you have any issues whatsoever with your jars then the company who created them has a huge problem. Also, I’ve had this light for over a year now, and I’ve honestly had no issues with it. Thanks again everyone for the sweet comments!! 🙂

    See you again next week!

      Have you had any issues with the light bulbs burning out super fast? I just made a slight texture on Saturday. Today is Monday and two brand-new bulbs have already burned out.

        Hi Lyssa! What bulbs did you use? Here’s the direct link to the bulbs that we purchased over a year ago. We haven’t had to change them out yet! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007QAQVLO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
