So I am throwing a Great Gatsby themed party in September and wanted decor a bit more glitzier than your run of the mill paper decor... so off to the Salvation Army I go and find the perfect lamp base and metal basket!
This is the lamp base that I found at my local Salvation Army. It had no shade, which was perfect for me to hang my bling on...
I purchased silver and gold necklaces (the mardi gras type) from Oriental Trading, cut them in half and simply glued them evenly around the perimeter of the upper shade one by one, leaving the full length of each necklace. ..
To disguise the glue lines at the top, I affixed large round "bling pieces" all around the ring...
I then trimmed the bottom and gave it some what of a asymmetrical appearance just for flair... I also plan to replace the bulb with a stylish Edison bulb ( not pictured)... and VOILA!! Then...
I also wanted a chandelier to hang in the middle of the ceiling amongst the gold and silver balloons... so I spray painted the basket gold..
Then using the shapes on the basket as a measuring gauge , I simply placed a cut necklace one by one and glued the underside of each necklace to the frame, as you see below...
After i glued them all around, I used the silver beads in an alternating pattern on the upper ring...and....
VOILA! I LOVE IT!! inexpensive but pretty for the eyes!! 
Also, here are some more of the bottles that I'm giving away as gifts...( from previous post) As always thanks for looking!!♡
