These budget friendly pendants were created from things you just might have laying around your home: terra cotta pots, cardboard, wire baskets, hanging planters, pretty paper. You can find the tutorials below. I'm adding a couple of them to my fall to–do list.

I apprecaite the imagination and creativity on all of these. My favorite is that pretty paper sunburst lamp but I always think of how well will it clean?
Love the origami light!!
I can't believe you left out the laundry room clothespin pendant.
@REXRAYFAN - Ha! I was thinking the same thing!!
I LOVE how many DIY lamps there are out there! Now I just need to make up my mind and get to crafting!
I'm a big fan of upcycled lighting. My favorite here is the wire basket. Recently, we created pendant lights out of old oil funnels in our kitchen which can be seen here http://circadee.com/2012/05/29/lighting-up/ I love them!
The terracotta pots are nice. I wonder what it would look like if you gold or silver leafed the insides of the pots? Ooooooh!
THis is the first time I have everything in hand to make a nice DYI project. I'm in the middle of painting and redecorating my 10-year-old's daughter with a light blue and astrological theme. Had the globe around and just made it into a pendant!! She's going to love it. Thank you Apartment Therapy! It's super cute.
