Trash To Treasure

candle chandelier with pearl garland

19 years ago

This chandelier was given to us. it was very rusty.

each candle cup was also missing it's decorative ornament on the bottom. i sanded it, spray painted it black, added prims to the bottom cups and wired the pearl garland to the rim. also used an old broken pearl necklace for a hangar.

then last, added the candles.

Another chandelier birdfeeder

I hung it up right away in a magnolia tree. At first I thought the silicone was bad,or maybe it didn't want to stay glued,but found out for some reason the SQUIRRELS are taking the cups off! Maybe they think they see more birdseed in it,or they like to chew the dried silicone,whatever the reason, I finally got tired of glueing the clear punch cups back on. I loved the look of the cups with the glass center of the chandelier, and I suppose I could have glued them back on and used it as a candle holder,but I am collecting tea cups and saucers to make another birdfeeder like that. Good luck in the chandelier search:) Maybe freecycle? I bought the spray paint at Walmart,so many new colors they've come out with!
