DIY. mason jar chandelier. part 2.

After 2 months it's finally done! 

Unfortunately this project took on a life of it's own...

supplies were bought, then better supplies were bought...

it was wired... then re-wired with better wire...

anyway, there is no step by step for this guy.

But if you know a thing or 2 about electrical work, 

then check on this tutorial from Kara Paslay Designs & you should be able to figure it out...

basic supplies for this chandelier:

4 small blue mason jars (vintage)

4 small mason jars (whole foods)

5 lage blue mason jars (vintage)

1 collapsible wire basket from from CB2.

plus all of the electrical supplies, wiring, bulbs etc. 

experimenting with christmas lights. I think it's a go.

DIY. mason jar chandelier. part 1.

Did anyone see the new footloose movie? me neither. okay, actually I did.

And... they made this really cool mason jar chandelier for the barn at the end... 

when they all finally get to dance! 

I haven't been able to find a photo... but it was really beautiful... 

Anyway... you can find the chandelier below at Pottery Barn for $399...

you can find similar ones on etsy.com

or you can DIY and make it your own.

Here is one tutorial I found from Kara Paslay Design

but I'll be posting my own as it progresses.

Part one of this DIY series... is simply inspiration.

I've been searching images & starting to collect materials. 

from an etsy seller

The first item purchased for the project is 

this collapsable wire basket that I spotted at CB2 this afternoon.

I think it's going to be perfect for the framework.

side note: no one should be worried. 

all electrical wiring will either not be done by me lol 

or be heavily supervised by an experienced professional.
