I’ve said it before, but if you are new here, I have to tell you how much I love this challenge. There are so many talented bloggers who share thrift store projects each month. The creativity always inspires me and we hope it inspires you too! Let me show you how simple this Candle Chandelier was to make.

How To Make A Candle Chandelier

Whenever I stop by my favorite thrift stores, the first area I go to is the lamp section. Lamps are one of those things I never seem to have enough of, plus I like to repurpose lamp shades for other things. As soon as I saw this amber glass shade I scooped it up. Can you see that price? This baby was marked $4, but on the day I went blue tickets were half off, so I bought it for $2! I had no clue what I would do with it at the time, but for that price I knew inspiration would strike at some point.

Sure enough, in the next aisle I spotted this lovely piece with all its jewels in place for $2! When I held it up to the lamp shade it fit right in. Some things are just meant to be.

There really was nothing left to do other than decide where to hang it. You can add a hanging light kit if you want, similar to the one I made here , or you can add a votive candle like I show below:

I have plans to hang this outside (weather permitting) at my daughter’s Graduation party Saturday. I’m thinking of using a battery operated candle once it gets dark. I’ll be sharing all the photos and projects from the party next week, plus there will be a great giveaway, so be sure to come back to check it out!

The next time you are at the thrift store keep an open mind for ways to repurpose things. Let me tell you, once you start thrifting, it is a little addicting! I hope you enjoyed this Candle Chandelier and will check out the other great thrift store finds below. Also, you may like this Hanging Embroidery Hoop Succulent Planter that has a solar light.
