Hazel on May 01, 2015i was thinking terrariums. fill with succulents. you'd have to add a glass/acrylic base of course but would look so pretty either hanging or placed in the home .Helpful Reply

Phyllis on May 01, 2015Try upside down and use as pillar candle holders. You would need a base, however. Another idea is to make a fairy garden under them.Helpful Reply

Lucy Nunn on May 01, 2015We have similar lights, but yours are better. We were going to replace ours, but instead are going to paint the under chandelier black and put in Edison bulbs. The covers on these could be painted black as well (obviously not the glass)...at least the one on the right. It has a good shape. Someone would love it if it's not your style.Helpful Reply

TheHoneycombHome on May 01, 2015I used this same type of light fixture to make a more modern one. I took the chandelier parts out of it, and put it into a gardening orb I found at Home Goods.Helpful Reply

PainterNoni on May 02, 2015I have one of these, and don't particularly want to replace it right now. Am thinking of either using a mercury glass treatment , or maybe alcohol oils to make an art project.Helpful Reply

Debbie McGarrity on May 03, 2015I think you should make a design out if painters tape or cover every second panel and spray it copper as well as the rest of the metal. Or the metal copper and the glass stain glass worry the krylob coloured glass spray use then for what intenter spray the whole thing copper people in the UK are paying £100's of pounds may as much as 500 dollars for copper pendants especially with chain fixings.Helpful Reply

Therese Hopwood on Jun 03, 2015I love these, I agree with Christine, I'd clean them up and etch a simple design on the glass, then put them up as lights in my home, conservatory or make them into tall standing lamps and have them either in the home or make them into solar lamps and have them on the patio/decking I live them and I'd certainly make use of them in the capacity of which they were originally intentended.Helpful Reply

Carol on Jun 09, 2015I would try the faux stained glass paint. You can copy a design on to paper and tape it to the inside of the glass panels. Them outline the design on the outside with faux leading lines and fill in the lines with the colors. Or maybe try your hand at real stained glass.Helpful Reply
