Does anyone know an easy way to make a chandelier sway through out the night -maybe with wires or something ???
I really want to add this effect to our halloween party this year

You can use a motor from the animated deer that are out at christmas and fishing line. It should be a slow motor as if you go to fast the line will become taunt when you dont want it to.

A reciprocating fan + fishing line, Tie the fishin line to the fan and the chandelier, position so the fishing lines gets pulled in one direction taunt, then when it goes the other way it will release the tauntness making the chandelier go the other way...

Attache the chandelier to a board losely connected to allow swing...

That make any sense?

I have done the swinging chandelier in the same manner, but also found that if I cranked the speed up it made the chandelier jerk around possessed which I liked much more. This did require thicker fishing line so it would not snap.
