Sputnik Bliss

I've got glue on my fingers and gold paint on my clothes, but friends we are at the very last inch before the finish line! Only thing left to do is have it installed. Here she goes:


IKEA PS MASKROS Pendant lamp Diameter: 32 " Cord length: 71 "  Diameter: 80 cm Cord length: 180 cm
WHAT WAS ONCE THIS.......


IS NOW THIS :)
STEP 1 & 2 - trimmed down florets to 2.5 inches around. Cut straws top to bottom and slipped them around the stems of the chandelier.....the stems were very thin and the straws help to make the chandelier more substantial.
Used Rustoleum Metallic spray in brass finish to paint all florets and stems.
All the pieces just before painting
Used clear Fabric-Tac glue to attach the amuse bouche plates
After snapping the florets to each "wand", they very easily snap into the base unit. The light bulb goes right in the middle. Once installed, I'll post a picture of it lit:)

  1. looks awesome, Jackie!!! I need some motivation for diy projects. I am hoping to make a tablecloth for my bedside table using a LGN tutorial. I might need to invite you over to diy with me. How does tomorrow sounds? ;)

  2. How many cups are needed? It looks just amazing! Is the lighting harsh at all?
