How to: Make a Bubble Chandelier
by Jean Pelle for ReadyMade

readymade1_jeanpelle-full.jpg

We've blogged about Jean Pelle's beautiful designs before — we love her work. This time, she's teamed up with ReadyMade magazine to create a light fixture that can be easily replicated at home. We see a lot of projects, but this is one that we actually want to make for our own house!

The fixture groups bubble balls from CB2 with similarly sized globe light bulbs from any hardware store. Complete instructions found in ReadyMade available here.

Thanks Guido -

I was reading it "Mac-Chrome-y" and thought LoriSF might have been referring to something vaguely Scottish...
