For a while now I have been wanting to change up the lighting over the kitchen sink. If you recall we have mason jar pendant lights in our kitchen. I love them but the light over the kitchen sink just never seemed like it was enough so this was a perfect time for a change – drum shade style!
MATERIALS:
Jute Twine
Clothes Pin
To get the jute twine drum shade started add a generous amount of tacky glue along the seam just below the top edge of the shade. Take the end of your twine lay it in the glue and begin to wrap your drum shade with the twine. To keep the twine from coming lose from the drum shade while you wrap secure the starting end with a clothes pin.
Continue this process of wrapping the drum shade and gluing until your drum shade is complete. When working with the sisal rope you will have to be more patient as it likes to curl up on itself and is not as forgiving as the jute twine.
When the drum shade is completely wrapped the last step is to hang the drum shade.
The jute and sisal wrapped drum shade looks awesome in our kitchen. Wanna know the best part? Matt loves it! Jackpot!!!
Have you ever given an everyday item a facelift like I did with our drum shade?
I love the stripes, Jacque! It creates a totally different and unique look!
Gorgeous! I love the two-toned look with the stripes, so fun!
LOVE it! The two different textures and colors of twine are gorgeous! And easy enough that I can even tackle this DIY!
I absolutely love the different colors of twine. I would never have thought of that, you smarty pants!
I love the way it turned out! Just beautiful!
love the stripes! turned out fabulous!
Ugh! I just wrapped the top of a large terra cotta pot in twine last night – I had glue all over me and had to keep checking on it afterward to make sure none of the twine was coming loose! Your method looks a lot less messy…but a day too late for me! Love what you did!
Make me one 😉 love it!
This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Ooooohhh I love this! The stripes are perfect and the rope gives such great texture. Perfect hanging over your sink too. Good job!
GREAT Job! It turned out awesome! 🙂
This turned out great y’all! I really like the color and texture combo! (pinned & shared)
Oh how I love theeeeeeeeeeee! Looks awesome guys!
Love it!! I am totally going to do this to one of the two drum shades I found at a thrift store yesterday. Gotta love when the shade only costs $4 too! Fabulous idea!! Thanks for sharing,

Love this so much! Found it linked up at Knock our Socks off Party! I love the two colored stripes.
Oh I just love this!! I’ve pinned…and have a couple really old lamps that would look awesome with this update. Thank you!

I LOVE it! So simple, and easy, and it turned out so cool! Thanks for sharing it at the party!
Love the textures and colors the jute and sisal give this plain ol’ drum shade. Pinning!
Love this! I might have to do this! I love mixing tons of textures so I could totally make this work. Where did you buy the glue? I’ve never heard of that brand before.
I LOVE this shade. Please please link it at my party! I wish this would go with my decor!
Nice to meet you,
Amanda
