Okay, I spend a lot of time recreating ideas that I borrow from here, but I swear I finally had an original thought, or at least I think so. When I was working on my bird feeder chandi, I turned it over and immediately saw an octopus. I finally found another chandi for $5.00, even though it only has six legs(or arms). I used washers glued and then wired at the bottom for the suction thingys. I was thinking that bottle caps might work for this on a larger light. I haven't decided if I'm gonna keep him or put him in a sale I'm thinking about doing this fall. I want to do a pink and green one with maybe some glass globs instead of washers, DH has already brought me another chandilier that he got free at a GS.

| Outstanding!! LOL!! LOVE it!! Did you have to add any pieces, for the head? Great for a nautical theme. Would go perfectly with the blue nautical chair kylslill posted. That octopus is so sweet, I think you should call her "Candi, the Octopus Chandi".
