How To Spray Paint H5N1 Chandelier

When I laid out to redo our office, I knew I would require to supercede the ugly outdated flushmount that was already installed. It was really 1970's together with really brown. I couldn't afford to splurge on a $100-$300 chandelier, together with thence instead I decided to honor an onetime brass chandelier together with update it myself.
Here's what I ended upward with.

In the end, it toll me less than $20 total, together with it looks fabulous inwards the office.

and a closeup:

Here's what I did.

I searched eBay together with constitute an onetime brass chandelier for $10.

It arrived quickly, together with I ended upward alongside most 1 meg pieces to assemble.

Here are the 1 meg pieces I was referring to:

 I started past times using my blueish painters record to comprehend upward whatever parts of the chandelier that I didn't desire spray painted. I covered the cord & electrical bits alongside a plastic purse (taped off at the top) together with taped the part where you screw inwards the bulb (it was already white). 

 I used an onetime slice of fight woods to laid everything on exterior together with thence that I could spray pigment it.

Then I sprayed the entire chandelier alongside 2 low-cal coats of spray paint, allowing them to dry out for most thirty minutes inwards betwixt coats. Make certain y'all teach every petty nook & cranny, together with flip all of the pieces over together with teach the underside ane time your start coat is dry. Since it is hanging upward high, y'all encounter the underside to a greater extent than than y'all practise the top.

I would recommend using a spray pigment that has primer all ready inwards it together with thence that y'all tin flame eliminate having to practise a whole carve upward coat of primer. I used Rustoleum White together with it worked great.

Once the chandelier was dry, I hauled it dorsum within together with began removing the painter's tape. (Sorry most that gorgeous nighttime character photo!)

Once the tape was all off, the side past times side pace was to affix the crystals to the chandelier. I ordered my crystals off of eBay, too. I was able to teach vi crystal droplets together with 1 yard of crystal chain for $7 total. I couldn't honor it that inexpensive anywhere else.

 To attach them, you tin flame purpose whatever y'all want, but I chose to purpose motion-picture demo hanging wire. I only cutting a petty slice of the wire, threaded it through the ends of the crystal chain, and fastened it unopen to the chandelier arms.

 Attaching the crystal droplets was fifty-fifty easier because they came alongside petty metallic telephone commutation rings attached to them. Once I had all of the crystals attached, She was ready to hang!

This is where Jesse comes into play, equally I ever delegate my chandelier hanging duties to him.  My participation later this betoken was to only mitt him this didactics canvas together with nation 'Help.'.

And similar a shot there's a pretty chandelier inwards the office and for less than $20!

Feel gratuitous to pivot this post together with thence y'all tin flame honor it side past times side time!

Thanks together with thence much for stopping by!
