DIY jute pendant light for dining room

Let me show you how I made our new dining room pendant light that was inspired by the Lulu and Georgia Tarek Pendant Light. It’s made from thrifted lampshade cage frames and jute yarn for a fraction of the cost of the inspiration light and it looks super stylish in our dining room.

Dining room lighting tends to be so expensive but doesn’t have to be if you just try to make your own.
