Bicycle Wheel Chandelier

by on Nov 5, 2008

I justed stumbled across a website that gives me tingles: Junk Market Style. I have a feeling I’ll be visiting it often in the future, but for now, take a gander at this bicycle wheel chandelier. Contributor Georgia Terrell used a lamp kit to wire the wheel and then tied plumbing chain to the spokes with clear filiment. To add bling, she wired crystal beads to the ends of the chains. All in all, she used about 50 feet of chain and 100 beads. Time consuming? Yes. Difficult? No. Clever use of junk? Absolutely!
