How to Attach a Lampshade to a Pendant Light Fitting

October 28, 2013 5 Comments

Some people have asked if it’s possible to install their custom drum lampshade onto a pendant light kit so it can hang from the ceiling. There are three answers to this question - yes, oui & sí! All you need to do is disassemble a standard pendant light kit so the lampshade can be attached. See my video tutorial on this project below.

The lampshade featured in this tutorial was created using one of my DIY lampshade kits. These kits have what’s called a 'spider' ring. Most lampshades in the US utilize a spider ring, which is handy because your pendant light kit cord can be thread through the spider ring very easily.

The pendant light kit used in the above tutorial is a basic kit from Westinghouse. You can get pendant light kits from hardware stores like Home Depot or homeware stores like West Elm, and they all work roughly the same way. I used this mini pendant light kit from Amazon.

After acquiring the pendant light kit of your choice, dis-assemble the ceiling mount so you can thread the cord through the top of the lampshade. Depending on the kit, you might also need to disassemble part of the socket so the lampshade hangs securely. Then simply re-assemble the ceiling mount and any other attachments.

And that’s it! The pendant light is now ready to be installed onto a ceiling. Get help from a professional if you're not familiar with electrical wiring. Create your own pendant lampshade with custom lampshade supplies available right here at the I Like That Lamp shop.

I promised Great Dr. Odunga to always post this testimony and I really want to say “Thank You” to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Great Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Great Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and odungaspelltemple@outlook.com You can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

How I Got My Ex Back with the Help of a Spell Caster +2349161779461

Hello everyone, my name is Kiara Hahn from California. I want to share my story about a powerful spell caster named Dr. Jakuta. I was heartbroken when my fiancé left me without warning, and I spent the last month feeling confused, guilty, and devastated. Desperate for help, I searched online for relationship advice and found Dr. Jakuta, who has helped many people with their relationship problems. I reached out to him, and he promised to bring my fiancé back to me within 72 hours. After following his instructions, my fiancé surprisingly showed up at my doorstep, apologized, and now we’re living happily together again. If you’re having relationship issues, you can contact Dr. Jakuta at:
