Wood Ball Chandelier

Can you find the tuna can?

I use one to make this chandelier. Find it here http://homastyle.com/wp/2012/03/13/pottery-b...

Find the tuna can. This was made with 600 wood balls {or beads,} old chandelier parts, old mirror parts, and a tuna can. No electrical wiring...just candles.

Here's a close up now sitting in the dining room. Next I might hang it from the ceiling!

I use an old birdcage floor stand when I want the chandelier to sit on the floor. Shortened a floor lamp for the times I want it to sit on the mantle or table. Next I will...

Thanks, I made it to have a similar look to a Pottery Barn Chandelier.

This is quite unique! Very nice. Am I the only one thinking, wood balls, lighted flame?

@Bernice H, I was thinking the same but maybe indoors where there isn't any breeze or substitute battery candles. Quite beautiful all the same.

@Bernice H, Thanks for your concern, I place those glass votive inserts into the three holders and drop in battery tealights. Rarely do we use real candles, I just wanted to show a similar look to Pottery Barns stunning chandelier.
