DIY: Chandelier

So, I decided to make a chandelier for our bedroom. Unfortunately, our bedroom doesn't have an overhead light so I had to make one that wasn't based around a light source. I decided to use stuff that I already had (cause I'm cheap... or maybe thrifty? that sounds better). So I tore up an old lampshade, cut up a chiffon curtain, and strung together some clear Christmas ornaments. After weaving together some sequins, all the supplies were ready.

 

When all the supplies were assembled, I began wrapping chiffon fabric around the rims - from top to bottom. Once that was completed, I added some strands of sequins to the "y" part of the shade followed by tying the strand of clear ornaments so it hung down the middle.

I wish there was some way I could light up the middle, but I don't really want to run a power cord along the ceiling...
