  1. Oh Bromeliad, you just sent me down a google rabbit hole. There are several good string lamp DIY instructions out there! :)

    and don’t miss Door Sixteen’s sensible nod after she posts the link to the real deal.. With a price tag at $510.00 – $2,042.00 – you better sharpen some DIY skills.

  2. I never would have thought of this as a DIY project! Where has my creativity and ambition gone! Would love to see a DIY finished string light fixture…post if you have had success!
