5 dollar 8 arm chandelier





All finished. Those drips take forever to do.

Sweet, super spooky.

Did you use the glue on string method for the drips?

There is a string method? DOH!..I just used the glob it on and watch it drip over and over method. lol

Wow, awesome! I'm going to have to find a chandelier to do that to! Looks better aged with the pillar candles than it did brand new!

And yeah if you used shot glue for the "wax" you can cut a piece of thread or string and have it run down the side and over for something the glue can stick to or follow! Found that useful tip in the How to Haunt your House book I picked up on amazon.com!

I like the length of the pillar candles too because you can't see the bulbs! The flicker bulbs are ok, but they never look right IMO!

Looks great! Did you paint or sand off brass color?

Nice , love the drips!

I just scuffed the brass with steel wool and painted the entire thing with flat black spray paint. Then did the faux silver over.
