  • This almost shows the whole of both towers. 8
  • I disassembled all of my collected lamps and laid out the globes to see approximately how much rebar I needed for the tower. 2
  • I used 3/8 inch rebar threaded through all of the pieces. I didn't end up using this base though. The actual construction was quite a bit of trial and error in 100+ temperatures! ARGH!!
  • I used the biggest globe and lamp base for the bottom of the tower. 2
  • I primed and painted all of the lamp pieces I was going to use between the globes. 1
  • I alternated the globe pieces with a lamp parts.  Initially I tried to use only the globes but didn't like
the way the glass rubbed and was afraid they would break. 2
  • After figuring out that the globes were too heavy for one tower, I made a second tower. 5

My glass tower vision has been fulfilled! I built it!

Mason jar chandelier

I wanted a mason jar chandelier, but did not like the prices so my husband made me one for around $30. we went to a local flea market and found the actual light fixture

for $20. We had to make sure that the metal plates under the candles were big enough to hold the jars. purchased the large mouth mason jars at wal mart for $10. we then painted the light fixture, epoxied the metal rings for the jars in the plates under the candles. all toghether less than $32
