Retro Wine Glass Chandelier

Another take from our Mid-Century End of Summer Summer Soiree. Here is something really unique but a bit more involved. The ready-made versions will cost you about $300-$600, so why not DIY? This chandelier will last forever and you can interchange glasses out. In color, they will illuminate the room or an outdoor patio.

Here’s how you do it!

Supplies:
– Light fixture
– Stemware
– Wire
– Needle-nose pliers
– Black aerosol paint

Step 1:
Sand and spray paint the light fixture and hang the fixture from the ceiling.

Step 2:
Cut a 12 inch piece of wire and wrap it around the stem of the glass and use the excess wire to tie the glass to the fixture.

Step 3:
Repeat step two for the remainder of the glasses.

Step 4:
Add glasses in the second row to fill in the gaps.

Step 5:
Wrap wire around the fixture to cover the stems of the glasses.

Step 6:
Voila, rustic and glass are married to create an ultra chic chandelier!
