When Stephanie from Frugal Home Ideas wanted to add some additional lighting to her large combination living and dining room, she came up with a creative solution that saved a pretty penny. Instead of hiring an electrician, Stephanie made a gorgeous candle chandelier to hang above her dining table. She even avoided excessive candle costs by inserting tea lights into contact paper covered glasses. I love the ambience created by all the glowing candles!
Stephanie was inspired by candle chandeliers from Pottery Barn such as the Veranda Linear Chandelier.

LOVE THIS! Where did you find the “waxy” contact paper?
Candle chandelier have an unique and classic elegance look but they require a bit of maintenance with regular cleansing and polishing of the chandelier frame. I love the idea to hanging up the candle chandeliers, which will glow like real candles.

Brilliant. Love the contact paper idea, which will “glow” like real candles. Sorry, but I am copying this. Thanks 🙂
I’ll instantaneously buy your blog site supply to remain in effect of any improvements. Cheers
Looks nice except that I read her blog and they are regular tea light candles which means she has to hand light them every time. Make sure you don’t position it too close to a smoke detector!! I would rather pay the extra and have candles on a remote. Just saying. I would build the base by hand and use the glasses to make smaller candles bigger… but those candles need a remote or a timer mechanism or the whole thing is silly.
