A planter turned chandelier

In case some of you didn't know, I bought this hanging planter at an antique shop with the idea of making it into a chandelier.





I took the chains off and attached them to the other side, then I added crystals on the bottom where the chains were. Simple!

Voila!




A hanging lamp for the garden.




Isn't it pretty?




I just love how it turned out!

    Donna, that is exactly how I pictured the end results for that gorgeous piece. It is perfect over your bistro set. So cozy and quaint. You will so enjoy it more than a planter.

    You are so creative and nice. You have a wonderful weekend, and keep those ideas coming. Take care.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Your project turned out beautifully! What a gift to look at something and see what will be, rather than what is...

    Oh my goodness! That is gorgeous! I would have never thought of that but it sure makes a prettier chandelier than a planter:>)

    OH! That turned out so great! It takes an artist to see something in one form and know that it can be so much better in a different form!
    Hugs,
