DIY Spooky Chandelier

Most of us have a glass shade for our pendant light or chandelier. I happen to have one that has 6 shades.
Since my shades are plain white, I frequently think of ways to enhance them to make them look more festive for holidays or parties. People always notice the fun details!
Since Halloween is around the corner, I decided to make some "spooky" embellishments! Here are the simple steps:


1) Get Scotch Expressions glitter tape. I chose silver, black, and orange to go with Halloween theme.
2) Fold a piece of paper stock in half and draw a silhouette of bats (only half of body is needed, of course). Cut out shapes. I just drew these by hand. No need to be fancy. :)
This is how they look once all cut out. I made ones with orange card stock paper as well.
3) Wrap your glass shades with the Scotch Expressions tape.
4) Stick your cool bats on your pendant shades! Removable glue dots or masking tape would work. By the way, you can crease the bat wings a little for a more 3-D look.


BONUS: If you want to give this look a little GLAM, dangle some silver beads to the bottom of your chandelier! All you have to do is cut those "mardi gras" beads by half.
