Hi there Sugar Bee Friends! I’m Ariean from One Krieger Chick popping in to share another fun and frugal home decor idea. Do you love old stuff? Yeah…me too. I’m always trying to come up with ways to re-purpose the stuff we already have laying around. Today, I’m excited to share with you how we created a Monogrammed Pendant Light out of an old galvanized funnel…
When we were designing our pool house, we were trying to stay on a pretty tight budget. That encouraged us to get creative with our lighting. My husband is just as bad as I am about saving items we know will have a future use…hence the cool antique funnel.
What you need…
- Galvanized funnel or bucket with a hole cut in the bottom
- pencil
- drill and different size bits
- Pendant light kit
- Edison bulb
Let’s get started…
- Sketch your monogram onto the side of the funnel or bucket.
- Using your pencil lines as a guide, drill holes to outline the monogram.
- Fill in with random holes as desired.
- Run light kit through funnel. Attach to ceiling.
- Add a cool Edison bulb.
- Enjoy a fun light fixture that’s perfect for outdoor entertaining!
If you liked this idea, you might like some of my other re-purposed projects…

Hi could a light made from a funnel be used indoors also in a country/vintage kitchen
I haven’t tried it, but it sounds like a great idea!
What a great idea! Thanks for the guide!
