$3 DIY Ballard Chandelier Makeover

 

I have never loved my kitchen chandelier. It’s basic and lately I’ve been wanting to replace it. That is not something I’m willing to spend money on right now so I started looking into getting some shades to change up the look. I have loved these simple shades from Ballard Designs but seriously these are $18 each? then times that by six and you pay over $100! So at that point I would rather buy a whole new light.

 Ballard Shades

Here is my Chandelier. Simple black metal a little to blah. 030

Then I found 6 matching shades at the DI for 0.75 each. then I talked to the Cashier and got all six for $3.00! Score. I love a deal. 032

I trimmed them in some 3/8inch Black Grosgrain Ribbon that I already owned. Apply with a steady stream of hot glue and smooth onto the shade.035036

And Project complete! A nice little $3 facelift wouldn’t you say?

Linking up at some fun parties!
