Tradig Metal Chandelier

Materials: Tradig red bowl, spray paint, mini pendant light, light bulb

Description: You will first want to spray the bowl in the color of your choice. I did a few coats of black in a satin finish allowing several hours to dry. This piece is great because there are preexisting holes you can thread the electrical through, which cuts the work in half!


Once the pendant wiring has been hung through the chandelier you can connect the electrical wiring and viola! I must add this project was quick, easy and fun.

IKEA Tradig: more than a fruit bowl

Materials: IKEA Tradig bowl

Description: The IKEA Tradig is a perfect fruit bowl and it also makes an excellent planter. All you need is the bowl, a coconut shell liner made for hanging baskets, soil, and some plants.

When I could not find a coconut shell liner small enough to fit, I cut a couple of inches off the smallest size I could get at the garden center. I started out simple with just some dwarf papyrus and then spruced it up with a few hens & chicks and other small succulents. So far the Tradig is holding up nicely outdoors in the Midwest. My plants are thriving!
