Guest Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I was wondering if anyone has ever used any of these types Chandelier ornaments to make lighting? Their scale is a bit big but if you had high ceilings or a grand room I think they might be cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Those are cute! Haven't seen them before, but I did see a neat thing on Pinterest yesterday for making chandeliers out of fish hooks like this: http://www.basspro.com/shop/en/trokar-3x-extra-wide-gap-treble-hooks?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Nope.. on ebay.. just search Chandelier ornaments. Beware the scale.. some are much larger than others... I was thinking of buying that middle one and removing the crystals from the bottom to reduce the height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look in my husbands lure box....when he is asleep. I bet you need deep sea lures for 1 inch scale, he has fresh water mostly. They are tiny, but would be good for small scales.

NellBell Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I know someone who has used them for 6th scale . Theres some at a store I was at yesterday but they were just to big. They seem to be really good quality and are very pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The smaller treble fishhooks work for 1:12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnmini Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Those chandeliers are beautiful! LOL, if I tried to make one from a fishhook I would, no doubt, end up with it in my finger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was going to say, take off the larger crystals and you have something much more to scale. BTW where can we find that middle one ? I love the shape!

stickyfingers Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm on the hunt for chandeliers. The Yellow house MUST have them, and they are all insanely expensive, including the non-electric ones. I've thought of making one, but the time and money and energy that I would spend tracking down supplies and figuring it out would probably not be worth it. There's a nice looking LED one, I think at HBS, but it's >$200, which is just insane and I refuse to pay that. Has anyone used the acrylic chandeliers from HBS? They have rave reviews, and I don't need it to light up, but they look really, REALLY fragile. A clear, sparkly chandelier would look really lovely in the tower room, though.

Goldenrodfarm Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I saw one made on alpha stamps using bugle beads, a couple of small rings, chain and fairy lights, I can see that the clear beads would add a lot of refraction and more light. There is a U-Tube video showing you how to make this and it doesn't have a ton of materials that are impossible to find. I could see a lot of scope for more imagination using crystals or other beads. The link for the Alpha stamps blog it was shown on is here . I was looking at the spiral staircase on the same page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklepuppies Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Okay, so now I'm gonna need a small table tree decorated in all chandeliers. I didn't even know chandelier ornaments were a thing. Off to shop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sable Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I thought you would enjoy these diamond chandeliers from the 2017 Christmas window at Tiffany’s. Unfortunately, the camera didn’t pick up their white brilliance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I came across this on ebay - seems to be an okay size for 1:12 house: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Decorative-Mini-Chandelier-w-Crystals-Rear-View-Mirror-Ornament-Car-Accessory/401065427100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Oh that is awesome! If I didn't share a car with my husband, I would get me one. But he's the primary driver, and not sure how crazy he'd be about that. When this post was first started, I bought these beaded ornaments. https://m.ebay.com/itm/quot-Chandelier-quot-ornament-kit-makes-3-beads-wire-tinsel-stems-NEW-/162786804979?txnId=1642485723006 I opened the package yesterday, and I think it could could be modified /copied for a working chandelier. Basically the pipe cleaner provides the form for the beads. I think that the wire for lights could either be wrapped around the pipe cleaner, or around a thicker wire in place of pipe cleaner, then that would be covered by the beads. Still wouldn't be the brass chandelier others have tried to make, but would make a pretty beaded one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
