GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I bought an old chandelier and am going to "Georgia" it out for tailgating. It's just a simple older builder special one. It already was painted black, so I'm going to repaint it and hang red and clear prisms on it. We'll hang it from the middle of one of our tents. Has anyone done this and have tips?I found this blog that has some good ideas... She makes me want to hang prisms on everything!http://thepolkadotcloset.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-add-chandelier-crystals-to.htmlAnyway, I'll post pictures of the final product. I need to order the prisms first, but I'm a little overwhelmed about what to buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judy in Texas 150 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks for sharing. I sent the link to my daughter. She's crafty and lives in an old house. These craft ideas would fit right in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Things got crazy, so I finally got around to measuring it. Now I'm about to order, so I'll report back. When it's finished, I'll do before and after pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sheraugh ~~~ Sheila 21 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 totally cool --- reminds me of the movie " Pollyana". Can't wait to see the finished product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Here's what I started with.....http://i1158.photobucket.com/albums/p614/gadawgfans/5AEABDF2-AED4-498D-BA10-8F39CBBB74C5-6858-00000613164E4224.jpg[/img nix Kind of a rusty brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
photogal06...Sommer 10 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Good...you got a "before" photo! I'm usually in such a hurry to do a project that I don't take a "before" photo, and I almost always wish afterward that I had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I was having trouble posting pics last night, so let's try this again.Here's before....Then, I sprayed it with a fresh coat of flat black and added the first prisms. I was lucky that there were already holes. I used the adhesive in the link on my original post.Here's the probably finished product. I was going to add a strand going from each bulb to the middle, but I messed up when I ordered, so I'll have to order more. It's also going to be complicated because I don't have holes to attach it to, so I might just leave it like this.I can't wait to bring it tailgating this weekend!!!!

SCTigerCock 171 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've heard of people hanging from the chandeliers, but prisims? And hanging it from a tent? And you are taking it to a tailgating event.......RHUT RHO!!!! :clint:Looks great! Neat idea!!! :heart: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
