DIY Chandy

Earlier today I posted some rooms that featured the Marjorie Skouras Turquoise Empire Chandelier. I would LOVE to someday own one of these beauties, but with a price tag over $6,000 that's probably not going to happen anytime soon. That got me thinking. . . how could I create my own version of this fabulous chandelier?

All it would take is one of these: 

Ikea Lerdal Chandelier

A TON of these:

Fire Mountain Gem's imitation turquoise beads

And a few of these: 

 

Fire Mountain Gem's peridot beads

And whaalaa! You could create a chic, beaded chandelier that looks a little something like this (but in turquoise of course!)
