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.

blue balls - five & dime.

Vintage - Blue 

Ball - Perfect Mason Jars

Spending some time in rural Ohio this week & stopped in the old five & dime that sells antiques.

Last week at the Brooklyn Flea market I spotted 3 of the large size jars for $7 a piece but opted not to grab 'em up.  Found the same ones today for under $2 each, so I bought most of their collection & plan on going back tomorrow out of regret for not buying the rest.  Also, found a great collection of insulators... I left with a pretty great color  & shape assortment.  Many flower vases, mason jar chandeliers & lighting fixtures to ensue. 

today's finds:

4 medium blue ball perfect mason jars

4 large blue ball perfect mason jars

1 wide mouth clear ball mason jar

1 atlas strong shoulder mason jar

5 insulators: 2 blue & 3 clear
