I went on ebay and began searching for glass punch cups. It took me about a month to collect 30 cups. I also purchased a chafing dish holder. At the hardware store I picked up the lighting parts and all the hardware for assembly.

Transferring the finished chandelier to the dining room proved to be the most challenging part of the project as it weighed quite a bit. It ended up being a three person job. With my aunts Annie and Joyce in town, I put them to work holding up the chandelier while I wired the electricity. After struggling with the old wiring in the ceiling, I finally got it ready to hang.
I am happy with the finished chandelier. It is contemporary and traditional, fancy and simple and decorative and useful. You can do it too. Really.
