I've always loved crystals. So, this is my latest creation and my winter project this year. It started as a black faux crystal hanging light, bought at a chain discount store.
I removed the plastic crystals, painted it silver, and added my "saved over the years" crystal collection. Many came from a "bag" sale broken light, but with old great crystals. Then each trip to the craft store I purchased a few bags of crystal beads at a time.
It took many hours of stringing the beads, but the final product is my custom made crystal chandelier.
