Circle Light Fixture

  Have  you seen these awesome light fixtures ?

   I love them and started  brainstorming some ideas. As it turns out,  I am not the only one that  had the same idea.

Unfortunately,  I didn't find this little gem at Dear Emmaline , until after I had already run some trial and error.
So...   I would suggest  using  her tutorial,   it is  much  more detailed,  but here is the process I took.

You will need 2 SETS  of the same size hoops.  They  come in a variety of sizes.  So you can choose the size that fits your space.

 I would suggest using spray  primer on the hoops before attempting to paint. 

 I decided to use spray  paint, instead of staining the hoops.  I wanted the hoops to look like   cast iron.  This was the best idea  I could come up with.  I love all the amazing things that spray paint can do!

Pre-drill holes. (This will prevent the wood hoops from splitting.)

Drill in screw to your pre-drilled holes. You will want very short screws,  the ones I used where 1/4" I believe?

Ta da.  You can take the guts from another light fixture, or you can  do something similar to what Emmaline did.   Ikea carries these cords and they are  only $5.00,  this would be a very simple way to make a hanging lamp.

 Good luck and enjoy.
