Inspiration: Bottle Chandelier
I'm a little late on this one, but I've only just now had time to check out the latest issue of Readymade. Have you seen their beautiful DIY chandelier made from old bottles? I love the way the candlelight glows through the frosted glass bottles in their example piece, but I bet this would look amazing in green glass as well. Check out the digital edition of the magazine for complete instructions.
We're going the rustic, candles-in-mason-jars route for our upcoming wedding, and if there were more hours in the day I think I would make a few of these to complement the centerpieces. Oh well, not this year. But I think I will file this away to be made for the garden haven I hope to someday have. (Complete with bottle wall, of course.)
