# Yarn-Made Lighting Solutions This DIY Project Utilizes Ordinary Pieces of Yarn to Create Fixtures By Tana Makmanee | Published 2013-03-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yarnmade-lighting-solutions References: [blog.landofnod](http://blog.landofnod.com/honest-to-nod/) Lighting fixtures often cost an arm and a leg when you buy them at the store, but these [yarn-made lighting solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow) offers up a fantastic way to create beautifully designed lights on a budget. With [minimalist design techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pin-sconce) taking over mainstream culture, a lot of interior decor items are subsequently featuring subtle colors and simplistic structures. This DIY yarn fixture is able to fit right in line with these minimalist designs by using a [sleek spherical structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-pendant-light) as its base. Simply inflate a balloon to your desired size, wrap your yarn around the entire balloon creating a scattered design, and then paint over it with glue. Once the glue and yarn is completely hard, pop the balloon and then cut out a small hole in the bottom of the structure so that it's big enough to place your light fixture through. Simply choose where you would like to hang this simple piece of artwork and you're done! Featured on the blog 'Honest to Nod,' this DIY project is a great way to decorate your home with sleek fixtures without breaking the bank. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Lighting:** Create unique lighting fixtures using everyday materials like yarn. - **Minimalist Design:** Incorporate simple and subtle designs into interior decor. - **Budget-friendly Decor:** Find cost-effective ways to decorate homes with stylish fixtures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Innovate in the home decor industry by offering affordable DIY lighting solutions. - **Crafting:** Explore new DIY project possibilities that utilize common materials like yarn. - **Lighting:** Develop innovative lighting solutions that cater to the minimalist design trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drape-light.md) - [Recycled Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zbozhzha-pendant-light.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Bubble-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbles-lighting-design.md) - [Glowing Tubular Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/array-lighting.md) - [Knitted Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-series.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant-light.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md)
