# I made this DIY bird cage grow light for my office out of a lamp…

I made this DIY bird cage grow light for my office out of a lamp shade hoop (Amazon) chicken wire, pendant light cord and edge banding. Originally it was neutral colors, then I found these adorable bright green birds on Etsy and painted it white.

It’s very cute! Now, my mind is trying to figure out how to make a trellis light out of it for a plant! I just need a chain, S-hook, wider openings on the fence material and a grow bulb!🤣

Aw so pretty! And much easier to take care of and quieter than real birds 😂 I love it

You did a beautiful job!!! I purchased one on Etsy because I’m impatient and didn’t want to mess it up lol. Good for you!
