Any ideas for chandelier crystals?

Question

I have chandelier crystals shown below on picture. I got it from my friend. They were removed from chandelier and replaced by colored ones. Any ideas where can I use them. Thank you.

Debbie Schwandt · Answer

I use them to hang along the bottom of valances  and below the top seam of curtains . I also use them around my bedside lamps. They  are wonderful to add a little pretty element to your home.

I decorated a Christmas tree for charity with over 2,000 antique chandelier prisms and crystals. White lights.   No other ornaments were put on the tree .  I connected many of the smaller ones together to make long, elegant ornaments.  My inspiration was a Swarovski Christmas tree decorated in Europe and some White House trees decorated a few years ago.

A mobile?  What about adding to your chandelier, even if it means drilling small holes?  Hang from door knobs in place of tassels.  Put on the ends of table runner.  Put branches in vase and hang them from the branches.

They would look beautiful outdoors. String them with fishing wire in different lengths.Attach to a metal rod and then tie the rod so it hangs from a shepards hook or tree.

I made a 'curtain' out of all the antique crystals I've collected.  I just strung them on a tension rod,  using many lengths of  heavy duty fishing line, cut to just a tad longer than the window and about about an inch apart.  I hung several crystals at various heights on each length of fishing line (or you can just use one length of line for each crystal, cut to varying lengths, to fill the entire window opening).   When the light came through, the entire room was filled with rainbows.   Unfortunately, the cats made me take it down eventually, as they kept chipping my crystals, but if you don't have cats, or have an inaccessible window, where privacy isn't a concern, this is lovely in the sunlight.

Put them in glass bowls, vases, to catch the light..

Electa vonhoff · Answer

the most  beautiful thing i've seen is stringing them as either windchims or from the spout of a pretty/antique/vinatge watering can so it looks like water flowing out

Ranger · Answer

I like the idea of a curtain.  Size them as you would like to see them hanging in multiple rows and perhaps hang them in your smallest window (fine gauge fishing line would work as an almost invisible hanging medium).  You could perhaps 'pad them out' with beads, earring/necklace bling remnants, feathers etc. The options are endless...  Love to see the finished project.

Dee · Answer

They would make a beautiful rain chain with other elements in between each crystal!

Cheryl Markus Reynolds · Answer

You can get small suction cups and hang them on a window.  The teardrop shaped ones can easily be made into angels to hang on the Christmas tree or as gift tags.

Belinda Jonckheere · Answer

you can hang them on a wooden branch which you hang up at the ceiling or outside hang them in a tree

Kit Lowell · Answer

String togther (spaced) with fishing line.  Tie a knot with each crystal on the line, then make it long enough to hang in front of window width (especially where you do dishes!)  Have fun

Vee · Answer

I would love to get my hands on these gems. I use them for jewelry. If you don't need them, please pass it this way.

Have you ever seen the movie 'POLLYANNA'   they have the perfect answer!

Patricia Flynn · Answer

You could always hook the crystals to trim and glue to the bottom of a lampshade.  The lamp when in use will reflect and make them sparkle.

Donna Ehring · Answer

Hang heavy duty ornament hooks on each & hang on a small (tabletop) white X-mas tree for a bit of glitz

Gyndol · Answer

Wind chimes

D fuhrman · Answer

my house has an arched window. they would be pretty hanging as sun catchers.

Maryanne Porter · Answer

I added teardrop shaped crystals to the edges of a lace tablecloth.  They make great weights if the cloth is used outdoors. They just look great for a vintage look.

Debbie · Answer

Hang from dangling watering can to look like water droplets.

Diana Deiley · Answer

I am so jealous.  I just love these.  A window sun catcher would be beautiful, hang at different lengths from a piece of driftwood for a different look.  Have fun.
