What types of beads/bits do you recommend? Are they usually made with beads or something else? Coud you use tissue paper and some kind of heat safe spray/coating?

Though this was obnoxious and painful on my fingers because the hole had to be tight enough to hold them in place. I considered adhesive, but was worried about the heat from the light causing problems. If you plan to use a bulb that stays cool to the touch, that would probably work well. Good luck! I would LOVE to see pictures if you make one.

But if you want to turn it into a light cover, there are two ways they do it in Turkey.<br />If you want it to hang with the stem side up, you have to get a paper lantern style cord and bulb attached, and then cut the cord and string it through a slightly bigger hole at the top, before re-attaching. This sounds super dangerous, but my friend with electrition skills did it in a few minutes. <br />If you want it to hang with the big hole at the top, get some small chain, and clip them through the tiny holes at the very bottom and attach the chains to the light fixture. I'm some what foggy on how this one works, as I have never done it. And I like how the first way looks best. Good luck! Please send me some pictures if you ever do it!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248634000395230058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839831007754737811.post-62467622423019092562013-01-31T21:33:07.922-08:002013-01-31T21:33:07.922-08:00 I really like this idea for a light fixture.
