Bowl Full of Cherries

Chandeliers are DONE! (with pics)
Thanks for helping me decide on "to bling or not to bling" my chandeliers. I went with "bling" (are you surprised?). I decided to do the big ones, and make them all the same. I looked for turqouise bling, but couldn't find any that I thought would work.


Since it would have been way hard to bling them while verticle (my bling was not self adhesive and it was too thick for my zyron), I cut 8 new chandeliers (my poor cricut blade!) and blinged them while flat, than hung them. A happy accident made them 3d. I cut them too 1/4-1/2" bigger than the originials (they aren't all the exact same size), so it was a little too overlappy. So, I made a thin zig zag strip out of black cardstock and attached one to the back of each chandelier to "pop" out the center of the chand. Than used clear glue dots to hold down the top, and 1 candle on each side. I let the rest just "hang".



Here's some pics! Thanks for your help!

Ok, DONE with that project!!! Hoep they stay up there!

The zig zag strip.......picture a 1/2" x 2 1/2" strip of paper. Fold it back and forth (like to make a paper fan). It just gave something for the heavier blinged chandeliers so it doesn't sit flat against the wall, just pops it out.
