Very pretty! I love the contrast of simple mason jars and fancy crystals and prisms! I sometimes have trouble mixing this and that together because I have this over developed sense that everything needs to have the same level of formality...obviously, given the nice chandelier you just made, that isn't true!

I like that--
but then I like most everything that is ever shown-LOL.
Just need the motivation to WORK and MAKE.
Can't seem to find that lately.

elegant for sure!

Very pretty! I also like it because it is not too hard to do and looks so good.

Excellent 'IDEA SCORE' Ms Purple Karen!!!!!! You folks with bead making talent could even use them to create a modern look, western look, ect. A Colender would be a good country look. Also using a shallow wicker basket or paper plate holder and rope straps might work for a summer Luah (sp? ya'll are just gonna have to accept that my spelling is under par). One of those china plates with basket weave edges could also be used for a little more formal occasion. This is FUN Karen!!!!

Susie and others. PLEASE DONT USE WICKER OR PAPER OR PLASTIC when using lighted candles. I work in the fire service, and this combination reeks fire! I love the chandelier Karen, but want to warn others about using safer "chandeliers"!!

Now, just where can I find a basket like yours, and a space in my garden?

Oh how pretty, and such a wonderful idea.

VERY pretty! Great idea...thanks for sharing it with us Karen! Now....where are those pint jars of mine????

Hey i just bought that same basket yesterday at a yard sale.You know the way we pick up things and put them back.
Well I finally made a decision to buy it for .50 and thought of something hanging. Now you made my dream come true.LOL Thanks for posting the idea.

This is not my creation, wish it was. Just a photo I saw and something to add to my Too Long to Do List.

Nona, we are definitely two of a kind. My Motivation keeps losing out to my Procrastination.

Laney-bug, how LUCKY for you! I love the basket pictured.
But any iron basket would make me happy, LOL.

SusieRose, careful you don't burn down TX with some of those ideas! Stick to wire, glass, and iron with candles.

hugs, Karen

wow - i love it!

OK, Ya'll got me backin' my backside up against a fireproof brick wall. Take a kiddie pool full of water, put a concrete block in the middle, put a gallon jug on the block, and stick a candle in it. Do not lite it though. But just in case lightning strikes and lites the candle, keep a fire extinguisher close by. LOLOLOLOLO

Sorry guys. I was imagining my *iron* table which sits on a *brick* patio and has a *metal* gazebo frame that could hold a candle chandi. The walls around it are plastic lattice. The gazebo is bordered by rocks pretty much and there are no trees or grass. Given all that information I guess I could just throw the wicker down on the patio and light it. LOLOLOLOLOLO

Now Seriously- Last year it got so dry close to here that the sparks from a 4 wheeler started a fire out in a pasture area. I know about how easy it must be to cause a fire. I promise that was not me on the 4-wheel-deal. Ha I have trouble even getting the gas grill to come on.

Like that idea of the canning jars with the wire basket...was just thinking how could I do this with an "egg basket" ... ya know, the old wire kind...maybe qt. jars with some sand & then the candles. Like the "bling" on this one....ummmm, what could I use???? Any ideas, anyone?

TFS the pic, purplemoon! Inspiring! Jeanne S.
Here's an egg basket like what I am talking about...this one I planted with dahlias in early May:

Real purty! ~tenderlee

A lot of flame with a little bling! Love the use of the iron basket.

Very cute idea! TFS

Sooo many good ideas out there I don't know how I can do a fraction of them. But I'm giving it my best shot!!! LOL

I love the candelier! I have an old egg basket somewhere. Or maybe the three tiered on that I took down from my kitchen cuz it kept "attracting" junk that didn't belong. Except I may have given it to the thrift store, sigh. Proof once more that we should never get rid of anything, o oh.
