Remember This?

 

I had a great need for a light above a work place in my kitchen.

 

Soooo, I made this pretty little tea light chandelier into an actual electric light chandelier.

 

See

And I mean really, who doesn't need a chandelier in their kitchen?

 

Right!!

 

Oh Yes.

 

 

I used a 3.95 light cord kit from Ikea and attached the tea light to it.

 

I simply ran the cord thru the "hanging ring" that was a part of the original tea light holder.

 

Obviously neither end of the light cord would fit through the ring,

so I pried the ring open, hooked it around the cord and closed the ring.

 

 

 

 

The tea light was bought in Door County WI while on a 4 day mini vacation with two of our children. So there is sentimental meaning with the mini-chandelier. The cost of the tea light at the time cost $12.95. But I have had it around the house for a couple of years, it had been played with by little ones and I had robbed the crystals to use for Christmas decorations at one point.

 

Good thing I had kept track of them!

 

I am not usually so fickle with things I buy, but this one just didn't have a true home until this past weekend...so odd.

 

 

Total cost of the light is $17 which is probably more than I would normally spend,

 but for a task light that is "rockin pretty", I am happy with the cost.
