Outdoor Chandelier

 Ticket sign sale going on HERE!







After yesterdays storms all over Tennessee I thought my project would be on the way to Oz right now.
We had hail and high winds, even tornadoes touching down everywhere. I was in the closet (my safe place) with my dog (who has very bad breathe) and a helmet (just in case). The whole time I was thinking, "Please don't let the chandelier blow away or worse yet fall on the glass table below." I know sad right?

I have been wanting to do this project for a long time and finally got the chance to do it this weekend.

I started with an old brass chandelier. One nobody wanted and a trusty can of spray paint! I gutted the wires and began to paint it in a pistachio color.





 Notice the cups are off of it. I am painting them separately and then I will glue them on.




You can see them on the left.


When dry I used Gorilla Glue to secure cups in place.


These will be my candle holders.




 When finished I hung it from the tree outside. It needed a little bling so I bought some beads and strung them to hang like little crystals. I added a beaded Christmas ornament to the bottom.




I love the way it came out! A recycled kitchen light turned outside chandelier! It really looks adorable hanging in the tree and I can see it when I sit in my sun room!

 And no witches with black and white stockings were harmed! lol

 Now I have to work on the table under it!

    I wish I had a spot to hang one but all my trees are too far away from my house.
    I love the color you chose and the bling is a great touch. I would like to see a night time photo too.

    Okay, I've walked by WAY too many of these in the thrift stores! Beautiful choice of color! Did you use a special spray paint to stand up to the weather and adhere to the metal?

    I love this and I have the same exact chandy that I have painted over and over and over! You'll love it! Mine is currently hanging in my front yard and has bird nests on it instead of candles.
    Enjoy!

    Daneen, I love this idea! I have been looking around for a chandelier for our front porch. It never occurred to me to just paint one! Thanks so much for this idea and I hope you enjoy yours. (I know what you mean about doggy breath!)

    It looks great I found one last year at a church yard sale for $5. We sprayed ours black and used it for my daughters wedding under our birch tree chuppa(sp) it was beautiful and made such a statement for hardly any money. Now she enjoys it in her backyard.
