Create a bubble chandelier for your dining room.
A new, modern chandelier does not have to cost an arm and a leg. When it comes time to replace that old chandelier, consider making one instead of buying a new one. Create a homemade masterpiece that will be the focal point of any room in just one afternoon that costs under $100. Your chandelier should welcome your guests and create a mood for your dining room. Before creating a new light fixture, remember that it should match the size of your room.
Instructions
1. Cut the floral wire into 18 1.5-inch lengths.
2. Place the nail in the center of a length of floral wire and wrap one end completely around the nail to create a loop in the center of the wire. Repeat for each piece of floral wire.
3. Cut the fishing line into 18 2-foot lengths.
4. Tie one end of the fishing line to each of the loops on the floral wire. Bend the ends of the wire inwards and insert the wire into the hole in the glass balls. Repeat for each of the 18 glass balls.
5. Open the cord sets and unwind the cords. Insert each of the cords into the electrical conduit and allow the end that the light bulb attaches into to hang from the conduit. Bring the opposite ends of the cords to the hole that the original chandelier was hung.
6. Attach the conduit to the ceiling with brackets and screw light bulbs into the lamp cords.
7. Tie the fishing line with the glass bulbs attached to the conduit at varying heights.
