Love the cheap DIY! Although the dust-collecting capacity of those pendants is enough to make me sneeze.

Absolutely LOVE the first one! The pendant redo is brilliant! I'm thinking maybe organza would be a good material as well. It floats in the air. And the rough edge would add volume. Also, permanent double face tape as a way to attach it might work, too.
