By now you are to the point where you like the idea of having a Chandelier gracing your dining room. You can envision the lights glowing softly as you talk with your significant other about the day's events. Sigh.
To use an overused cliche, it's candlelight dining on steroids. And you know you shouldn't have to pay $1000 for such an exquisite light feature. So what do you do? Build your own.
If you search long enough on the internet, you'll be able to find just about everything you'd ever want or need. This is also the case with making a candle chandelier.
Now, if time is an issue, then meandering over to your Lowe's or your home lighting store or Home Depot is still the most efficient route to take. But if you have lots of time and are good with power and manual tools, and equally as good with your hands, then piecing together your own candle chandelier just might be the way to bring the luxury and sophistication of a candle chandelier into your home.
If you've seen the number of fixtures on the online market, you'll know that many are very very intricate. Of course you will pay dearly for those intricacies, but they do exist. However, there are simple designs that are simple to create as well.
The design I have in mind is a chandelier in its basic form: a circle or a square with candles evenly placed on the sides with chains on the outer or inner edges rising to the ceiling to hang the fixture. Balancing the candles is critical to this design. Another design is equally simple: two boards in the form of a plus or an X with candles at the ends of each of the boards.
The chandelier can be held up with chains rising to the ceilings from the ends or from where the X meets. That seems to be a much better approach as the candle flame won't heat the chain.
Again, quickly search the web for more complicated Do-It-Yourself candle chandeliers. They exist. A quick online search should reveal dozens of DIY designs. Select one and go to work. Put those creative juices to action.
