My supplies:
I sprayed the chandelier with lime green Rust-Oleum paint. (sorry, missed the action of this one.)
Then I popped the ends off the solar lights like so:
The ends didn't quite fit into the candle cups so I used regular plain old fun tack to get them to stay in there. I could've glued them, but I wanted the option to change them out or even used regular candles in it someday.
And here it is hanging up:
Here's the best picture I could get of it all lit up at night:
Not the clearest pic, I know, but that's the best I could do without a flash to distort the whole shebang.
Don't settle for dull, live a refinished life!

What a fun idea! I like how you used tacky instead of glue to adhere the solar lamps. Smart.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I wanted to be able to change my mind later and that seemed like the best solution. Thank for checking out my post!
DeleteThis is really cute! I'll bet it looks really good at night. I have an old chandelier that just may have to go solar! Thanks for the idea - Vickie
