make your own chandelier
My father had an old satellite dish at home,so we came up with this awesome idea.
Its made from everything that I already had at home.
Im not crazy about the pinkish color,but I think it suits my purple walls and this was what I had at home already.

Step 1
gather the things you will need.
Step 2
Spray paint the whole dish with one color.Wait for it to dry.
Step 3
I added some purple spray paint in spots so it wouldnt be so pink and one colored.
Step 4
Put your stencil on the dish and cover it around with paper.
Step 5
Spray paint it.I used brown color.
Step 6
I stenciled the dish around.
Step 7
Wait for it to dry.
Step 8
I needed some help from my husband for the last step.You need to pull a casing through the hole for the light bulb.
After that you need to attach a chain to the satellite dish,drill a hook on the ceiling and hang your new chandelier.

That looks awesome! The light in my bedroom is just about broken... might do something like this to replace it

Violetta, what a brilliant way to recycle these things - definitely thinking outside of "the box", thats something i'm only just realising...thanks for another great how-to
