The eye-catching bubble fixture is both chic and sophisticated, thanks to the clear, multi-sized glass balls. This DIY only requires a few steps and materials, including some silver cord and white glue, before it's ready to hang from your ceiling. Follow our tutorial to make the modern chandelier, which is sure to become a conversation starter whether you place it in your living room, nursery, or guest bathroom. What You'll Need Materials Straight pins Chain-nose pliers Silver cord White glue About 32 glass balls 1 1/2-inch washer Ceiling hook Instructions Hold one pin with pliers, and bend it 90 degrees with your fingers. Cut a 4-foot length of silver cord. (If you want your chandelier to hang higher, cut shorter lengths; for lower, cut longer.) Knot one end of the cord around the bend in pin. Dab with glue at knot to secure. Feed pin into hole in one glass ball. Once the pin is inside, gently pull the cord to position. Repeat with the remaining glass balls. Working over a soft surface, arrange balls in a cluster: Start by grasping just a few in one hand, and adjust the length to form a cluster of varying lengths. Add single balls as you go, adjusting length as you wish and adding the cord to the cluster you're grasping. Thread the loose ends through washer, and tie a knot, leaving a tail of about 18 inches. Optional: Wrap tail around washer to cover it completely. Secure with fabric glue. Hang from a hook anchored in the ceiling.
