| Instructions:
|
 |

1. |
Measure and
cut 4 pieces of the heavy gauge wire into 1 yd. pieces. |
|

2. |
With the ends
of all the wires even twist them together approx. 4" from the bottom. |
|

3. |
Lay wire flat,
measure up 14" and mark the place with a sharpie, then measure up
9" mark, 6" mark etc, depending on how many rings you use. |
|

4. |
Place the largest
ring that holds the candleholder, around the wires to the mark closest
to the bottom. then start wrapping the wire around the ring at the
mark. Place the wires directly across from each other so that they
are evenly spaced around the ring. |
|
 |

5. |
Do the same
with the medium size ring, at the middle marks on the wire. |
|

6. |
The same for
the smallest ring at the top. |
|

7. |
Twist the wires
together at the top and form a loop for hanging. |
|

8. |
Place the candleholder
inside the bottom ring. |
|

9. |
Use smaller
wire and cut into four pieces 6'' ea. |
|
 |

10. |
Thread crystals
and beads in center. Since I used a holder that the base sits in the
ring, I want to make sure that it stays secure by using my wired crystals
to tighten the wire structure around the neck of the glass holder.
|
|
 |

11. |
Now just clip
small lengths of the thin wire and thread beads randomly on the support
wires and armature. You can use all kinds of beads and marbles. Add
marbles by forming a wire structure around them and then wiring them
on. I also made wire curlicues and then twisted them into the structure.
This was a time consuming project but I just love the final product.
Hanging from a hook on the deck or along a path, the glittering beads
and baubles give enchanting lumination to the summer nights. Have
Fun! DAZ |
