Hang Drum Shade Lamps

Drum shade lamps are a modern decor item that is easy to hang.


Drum shades are a style of lamp shade that has the same visual characteristics as a drum. Drum shade lamps are a modernized style of lighting that is common in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and kitchens. Hanging a drum shade lamp is a process that requires proper head room in order to allow mobility around the light in an interior space.


Instructions


1. Pry open one key chain ring with a flathead screwdriver and attach it to the end of one 6-inch chain piece.


2. Pry open the key chain ring again and attach it to one of the top bars on the drum shade lamp.








3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the remaining chain and the bar directly across the center from the bar you installed the chain on in step two.


4. Pry open the remaining key chain ring and attach it to the ends of each 6-inch chain to join the two chains together.


5. Pry open the key chain ring in step 4 and attach it to the end link on the 24-inch chain section. Set lamp aside for later use.


6. Climb onto the step ladder in the area where you intend to hang the lamp. Drill a hole through the ceiling using a 3/8 drill bit.


7. Place drywall anchor into the hole and tape into place with a hammer. Screw the hook into the drywall anchor until it is secure and unable to turn any further.


8. Place the end of the 24-inch chain onto the hook to hang the drum shade lamp from the ceiling.
