Ikea Maskros Hack Ideas
I have been thinking about possibly doing one of the many
Ikea Maskros hacks that you can see in blog land.
Do I have room for one? NO!
Do I want to be amongst all those bloggers that hacked the Maskros already? Hmmm, not sure.
But I really am a huge fan of this crazy popular Ikea chandelier.
It’s everywhere: TV shows, store displays, clubs, restaurants…
So I thought about sharing some of the ideas with you.
Part of the Maskros Appeal is that it is simply elegant and a few of my ideas unfortunately take that simplicity away but would make a great focal point!

Here it goes:
Since Halloween is fast approaching I thought about hacking the Maskros into a black chandelier with bats. You would have to cut out or buy 80 (for the small Maskros) black paper bats and attach them to a black spray painted Maskros. Wouldn’t that be so cool for a Halloween party? The shadows on the wall but be so fun!
This website sells a package of 8 paper bats for $2.49 or this site sells a large bat craft paper punch.

If you don’t like bats, then do black spiders or white ghosts!
The other day I came across this fabulous tutorial on how to make paper orchids on Pinterest.
Lia from Ellinée blog has a downloadable printout for a white orchid or a pink orchid and I was thinking that it would be so fun to make a Maskros orchid chandelier.
Instead of attaching the standard flowers, you’d “only” (haha) have to make 80 of her fabulous orchids.
She has several other paper flower ideas as well.
A paper Tiger Lily Maskros or a Peonies Maskros would be just as beautiful.

Or if you like it a little more glam then you might like the idea of punching out mirror effect craft paper. And yes there is such a paper. They have it in the scrapbooking isle in silver, gold and color tinted! Again use a craft punch to cut out the desired shape
for example a star, octagon or circle and attach to Maskros.
I also thought about making 80 paper lady bugs.
Wouldn’t that be cute for a baby or toddler room or even a birthday party?

And last but not least felt!
Felt is so in style right now! So why not make a felt Maskros Chandelier???

You can shape flowers like Beckie from Infarrantly Creative
Or this gorgeous felt flower by Balsam on etsy.
And if you don’t want a chandelier then why not transform it into a floor lamp like this hack?
What do you think? So many options, right!
Do you have any more ideas? Please share!
I ‘ll probably regret throwing these ideas out there for somebody to use
and make a fabulous Maskros that will be all over pinterest
but the reality is that I don’t have the room (well, maybe for one) but not for 5 or 6!
Talk to you soon fellow webbers und guten Tag.
the bat idea is so fun! i wonder about mod podging some glitter onto the edges for holidays… it would be permanent, but maybe super cool?
Thanks Cassie!
There is one person out there on the Ikea Hacker website that did a Maskros with stars and glitter already, which is nice for the holidays. The shadows look so cool too!
I love the way you think! Off to see if I can follow you….
Thanks again and I hope you can follow me!
