Hazie

VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can always paint the wood a primary color hehe even put little sayings on them I really like your idea! They're made from regular glasses, aren't they?
Cait

They look like vases to me! I like them.
I also like the leaves in the background....

I like those! So are they glasses or light globes? What did you use for the metal tops? I can see the ball and chain, but is the bottom piece cut from a fan blade? Come on gal, we need all the details. ;o) Luvs

Boy - this is how interested I was in these - I even dreamt about them last night ! LOL

this is a bump for "woodsy". I was also interesting in seeing them and found them with tne user name. "nmgirl" thanks for post ing the instructions and also for the instructions on my plate flowers. Just one question about that.....What size tile bit should I buy for the plates. Thanks and love the bells.

Ok I check in here for fresh ideas once in a while, very seldom post, however I want details on this one. I love them. So please tell us what you used, how you strung the ball and what you used for the tops.

Bumping this up in case anyone else didn't get to see these!

LOVE them!!!

I am in the process of making one of these. Or I should say my B/F pretty much put it together for me. I have to paint the pieces we used for the clapper. The bell part is a thick cut glass light shade that sounds very pretty when it is clanged. I almost forgot about it! I'll have to look for some paint this weekend.

I know this is an old post but I'm interested in making these.
There is a follow-up post that goes with it with the instructions on how they are made.
They are really pretty!!
:o)

please post directions, I can not find them....Janice

Oh WOW...I missed about a year on here! These are awesome, and I have the perfect lamp parts to make them...if I find out how!

I sure hope someone posts directions!!

OK, nmgirl-
here's my first attempt!

The top- the silver washer- it just looks so- Plain-
and I need to match up the chains.

But they sound pretty!
(guaranteed to drive DH crazy!)

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:132124}}

OOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
YES!
I like the pink and the great glass. Ya done good girl!
I wouldn't worry about the top, when you hang it up it's not noticed or even seen.
Don't they sound nice? I really like 'em.
Great job!

It only took me a year... 'blushing face'...

thanks!!

Only three more months until I can start putting things out...

I'll have to get a photo of my cold sleeping garden.

I couldn't bring up the link with directions. Could someone help me out please. nm That pink bell is pretty
