I got them last Christmas and am happy with them… One set of batteries lasted the whole season. Mine have a timer in the battery-pack so you can set them to come on and off automatically. I just draped them like garland from one arm to the other. The ones I got are on a slim wire that you can mold and shape. Rice or fairy lights have an actual visible socket, but the micro lights are incredibly small, and incorporated into the cord. But what you actually want are micro led lights. Or actual Christmas ornaments, if you’re planning ahead to December.Īs a light source, I’m using a string of tiny, LED battery-powered lights– also out of my Christmas supply. I’ve seen them called rice lights. I don’t know why you would, but maybe you feel really strongly about mini pumpkins. Obviously if you’re going to make your own, you could use something other than disco balls. I hung the other mirror balls using Christmas hooks in the holes where the chandelier’s crystals used to be attached. Just incase at some point Paul takes leave of his senses and thinks he has nothing better to do than refinish it. I did try to keep the glue out of the socket. I hot-glue-gunned disco balls to where the light bulbs should go. Until I was out in the garage for the Halloween decorations and realized: Whoa… what that needs is some disco balls.Īnd? Since I’m me? I have ALL the disco balls anyone could possibly need to make a disco chandelier without leaving their house. Why did I not make a disco light fixture before now?Ī while ago, Paul brought home this sad, antique brass chandelier he got out of the neighborhood trash… It’s spray painted black, has all the crystals stripped off, and is missing one of the light sockets. So considering that, I’m not sure why it took me so long to break out the disco balls for Halloween.

I walk around shouting-BORING! Give me more rhinestones! Bring me sequins!

My entire approach to home décor, (and life in general) is: how can I make this shinier?
