Repurposed Rooster Chandelier

This is a picture of the one on line that is still for sale for $739.00

The one I found was not in great shape, and no where
near that kind of money!

I love roosters but a face lift was certainly in store for this chick.

I brought it home and cleaned it up immediately.

I began with a coat of textured white spray paint.

Next, the electricity and the candles needed to go.

The electric wires were cut when I bought it, there was
a broken bulb stuck in the socket, and the shades were
crispy so like everything else, I pulled it apart.

I needed something to create a cup to hold tea light candles
in each arm of the chandelier. 

Rummaging through my pile of junk I found this...

A few parts from this Ikea clothesline will work perfectly.

I needed to even out the surface and create a cup for the candle...

After gluing these pieces together then painting it white, the chandelier looks like it was made to hold tea lights or votive candles.

Here it is... no electricity needed. 

It can be hung anywhere and looks beautiful.
