what up internet Corinne here and you're watching Corinne vs pin! first off I just
want to say thanks, I'm really feeling the love from that last video, you're the best
today though i'm going to do a project that's been done a zillion times
already
by a zillion different people yeah I'm counting that's right today I'm attempting
the string pendant lamp
we've all seen the original one it's like six hundred dollars
the "problem" that I have with most of the DIY versions that I've seen is that most
people use this thicker crochet yarn and I just don't think it looks as polished
as the original layout so I'm going to use this thinner
crochet yarn the other thing that I'm going to be doing a little differently
is for my mold i'm using a beach ball
yep that's right a beach ball the beauty of this beach ball situation is that
it's the size that I want I don't want one that's too big -that's what she said-
Plus after I deflated it and take the ball out center
if this all goes according to plan I can still use this as a motherfuck*r beach ball
that's right
all eco and shit up in here I'm sure this glue i'm about to use is really eco too
actually I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be not a hundred percent
horrible for you
I know I've eaten my fair share of it throughout my life. Yeap I had to go to
glue eaters anonymous to kick the habit paper though I've never given that sh*t up
anyway I'm just going to take this glue and mix it with a little bit of
water I have seen other DIYs call for fabric stiffener *Giggidy* I don't even know what
that is I'm just gonna stick with my straight up elmer's glue I've also seen some
instructions saying that you wrap whatever your mold is entirely in the
string first and then paint the glue on I'm not gonna do that I'm going to dip
my string in the glue and then wrap it around the ball because I feel like I
have a lot more control over the glue that way
this is a little bit more messy of a process you're gonna have to wash your
hands a bunch of times but I already do that anyway because I'm crazy it also takes a
little bit longer
but that's what's going to make this DIY string pendant lamp the best DIY
strength pendant lamp in the world!
All time you were right by the way Kanye Beyonce wins everything for the rest of
history
it's just all yours Beyonce take it you go girl. it actually took a few hours to get
the coverage
I wanted then I let it dry overnight and you know what? this thing is pretty cool looking
I'm super happy with it's all hard and *Giggidy* fuck*ng exactly what I
wanted to achieve
ok I admit I didn't really think the next process through as much as I probably
should off because I realized as I went to deflate the ball that you need to
squeeze the little nozzle the whole time you're releasing air and that's a little
difficult to do in this situation
so I'm just trying to figure it! I cut a hold and that made it somewhat
easier but the hole wasn't big enough so i decided to actually make the hole
look better by using a template to trace around and then I was able to slowly
deflate the ball and unstick it from the sides again
I'm still really impressed with how this came out I did have the foresight to get
this pendant lamp kit
so that's something I just don't know how I'm gonna make the lights stay in
there at this point. To the hardware store we go!
I walk around for
at least an hour trying to find the solution and the best thing I came up
with was this garbage disposal
plugger thingy the guy that worked there asked me if I needed help three
different times
I'm like no dude trust me you can't help me save yourself. The hole I cut
before it was a little too small so I just cut it a little bigger and then
place the garbage disposal cover thingy inside the hole and glue it around the edge
Bam! you can obviously paint it first if you want it to match better but I didn't
do that it's
all glued in there now nothing I can do about it okay so here's the deal I plan
on putting this thing in my bathroom because i think it would look really
cool in here
there may be some issues with dampness but you know what
not gonna worry about that now all I gotta do is pop this little puppy right on
there and voila looks pretty good in my humble opinion -so humble- but obviously
not everyone has a light such as this in their home
so you're probably gonna have to use the pendant lamp situation all you got to do is
push this part through the hole and boom shakalaka now you have to do is hang it
from the ceiling
somehow i'm not going to show you how to do that cuz I don't
to do that step so figure it out on your own. How many beckys is does it takes to
screw in a light bulb?
