How To: Hanging Pendant Lights From Glass Insulators

Have some old glass Insulators sitting around? This DIY project turns them into a great hanging pendant light for a stylish second life.   I’ve always liked the look of those old glass insulators, but generally the only use I’ve ever seen for them is authentic country decoration on the shelf behind a bartender. This awesome tutorial goes through the steps of turning three of the insulators into some really sharp looking pendant lights.

This project requires a few tools, and please take the time to bone up a bit on safety while working with glass (especially drilling it). But overall, the directions are good and the concept is nice and straightforward. Take a look at them here.
