Another chandelier birdfeeder

19 years ago

I bought this chandelier today for a quarter, I really liked the glass in the center. Then while I was ripping out all the wiring I broke the glass!!!! Not a total loss, I had some more glass off some other chandeliers,I still need something to add to it to make it another half inch higher. I also bought another punch bowl today,and decided to use some of the many punch cups I'm accumulating instead of china tea cups and saucers. I might add some pearls,or something like that.

    That is so pretty and the pearls would dress it up even more. I love it and saved the picture so when ever I come across a chandelier I can make one too. Love it!!!

    Thank you,they're so easy to make. I love the ones with china cups and saucers a lot. The birds(and squirrels) love them. I still want to dress this one up as soon as I can find something that looks nice on it:)

    Thank you all, Kat I think lights would be gorgeous in it,thanks for the idea :) Shpnquen, I take it down, hose it off,dry it and put fresh seed in it,same as I do with any of my other birdfeeders :) Happy Junking, Ya'll!!!!!

    oh now that is just TO CUTE! I found a punch bowl awhile back for only 5.00 and bought it for the bowl! Will have to use this idea for the cups since I didn't really want them anyway! That is just too precious! Thanx for the idea!!!! I have a teacup one over my table out in the gazebo but it's for candles. Love this idea!!!!

    I am still trying to find one of these chandeliers. this is my favorite of all favorites. the color is so pretty and I love those punch cups and the glass in the center. Did you get this one hung in the garden?

    AWESOME, what a great idea. I was just looking at the two chandeliers I found last year and was pondering on getting rid of them cause I didn't know what to do with them. Now I know, hope you don't mind if I use this idea, it's so pretty.

    I hung it up right away in a magnolia tree. At first I thought the silicone was bad,or maybe it didn't want to stay glued,but found out for some reason the SQUIRRELS are taking the cups off! Maybe they think they see more birdseed in it,or they like to chew the dried silicone,whatever the reason, I finally got tired of glueing the clear punch cups back on. I loved the look of the cups with the glass center of the chandelier, and I suppose I could have glued them back on and used it as a candle holder,but I am collecting tea cups and saucers to make another birdfeeder like that. Good luck in the chandelier search:) Maybe freecycle? I bought the spray paint at Walmart,so many new colors they've come out with!
