Tea Cup Chandelier

In the Queen's Room over one of our tables hangs our tea cup chandelier

Tea Cup Chandelier

Find a tag sale chandelier in good electrical working order that has arms spaced wide enough to accommodate the saucers placed under the cups. You will need teacup/saucer for each light. They don't have to match. Our chandelier has all different teacups. Use a diamond-tipped drill bit to make holes large enough to accommodate a light socket. Support each piece in a bucket of sand for support as you drill; Place the drilled saucer face up over the socket and secure with epoxy or super strength adhesive. Next, slip on the cup and glue in place. Let dry. Use candle flame style light bulbs for a romantic glow. I bought shades for each light. It adds a special touch when you are having tea.
