Transform an old metal colander into a unique ceiling light that’s perfect for a farmhouse kitchen or outdoor dining area. This project adds a touch of creativity and charm to your lighting.

Find a metal colander and clean it well, removing any rust or grime. Drill a hole in the center of the base large enough for a pendant light kit socket.

Install the pendant light kit, securing the socket so it fits snugly within the colander. When turned on, the light shines through the colander’s holes, creating playful patterns on the surrounding walls and ceiling.

You can hang a single colander or arrange multiple in a row or cluster for a creative statement piece in your kitchen or patio.
