1. Collect decorative items that reflect your design style. Here we have assembled flea market beads and jewelry, clusters of glass grapes, drop crystals, old assorted silverware pieces and a random collection of wine glasses (figure B).2. Drill holes in the handles of the silverware (figure C).
3. Use 18- and 24-gauge wire to attach the materials to the chandelier. Attach the wine glasses with 18-gauge wire and the delicate beads and crystals with the 24-gauge wire Tip: The lower the number for the wire gauge, the thicker and stronger it will be.
4. You can attach a few items to your chandelier or go for the bold, arty look used on this chandelier. This is a very forgiving, organic project: you can always add more or take away objects as you live with your new lighting look.
