We hung these balls extremely close together near the top of the grid so as to completely conceal it (the grid shouldn’t show when you’re done). Step 5: We added silver ball ornaments to the chandelier. We wired both sockets close to the top of the grid and plugged in both cords to the ceiling fixture (or you can easily have an electrician wire the cords to a single ceiling outlet). Step 4: In the very center of the grid we added our 2 light sockets. We started from the center of the grid and worked our way out. Then attach the other end of the fishing line to the wire grid.

Slip the toggle inside the top of the glass CB2 ball. Knot one end to the silver toggle you just made. Step 3: Cut a piece of fishing line a few feet long. You can use pliers to adjust the size of the loop, particularly to make it small enough to fit inside the top of the glass bubble. Loop each 2″ piece once around a nail to create the toggle. Step 2: At your work table, cut the silver wire into 2″ pieces (your quantity depends on the number of glass balls you are using). Suspend the wire grid from the ceiling using your chains and s-hooks.

Step 1: Insert your 4 chandelier hooks into the ceiling and attach about 2-3 feet of your white chain to each (make sure it is secured in the ceiling so as to carry the weight of the chandelier!).

Which brings us to this chandelier on Alison’s ever-so-sultry boudoir blog, Frou Frou Fashionista. We’re feeling extra bubbly today (pun intended)! Remember Kara and Andrew’s wedding?
