Awhile back I posted the picture below of
a chandelier I was in the process of making.
I had started with a wire hanging basket that
was meant for hanging and putting candles in it.
1. Originally it was cream colored, so I first spray
painted it pink and then added the
crystals-wish I had thought to take a before
picture...just think plain vanilla LOL
2. Next I removed the decorative covers over a string
of outside party lights, wrapped each light with
painter's tape, then spray painted the strand pink
to match the wire baskets.
3. Once that lights strand was dry I removed the
tape and begin wrapping it around the wire baskets
then I mixed up the decorative light covers from
2 strands...inside the baskets I used metal can type
covers and for the other lights towards the
center I used flower covers.
4. Next I spray painted an extension cord the
appropriate length and then hubby added a turn switch
for me so I didn't have to unplug it each time.
VIOLA!
Here is my chandelier all lit up! I have to say my
husband wasn't overly thrilled with it until he saw
it lit up and then he loved it!

It's gorgeous, Aileen! How fun it will be to sit out under those twinkly lights. Thanks for sharing the idea.
