Projects
Remove the Crystals
One way to change the look of your chandelier is to take off some of the crystals. If you want your chandelier to have a more modern look, you may want to remove all or some of the crystals. If you have tear-drop crystals, try removing every other crystal. If you remove the crystals and you’re still not satisfied, try taking apart the strands of the chandelier and reconstructing it. This will surely change the look of things.
Paint the Whole Fixture
Possibly the easiest and most dramatic change you can make to your chandelier is painting the entire thing. If your chandelier is expensive or a fine crystal chandelier, make sure you are ready to permanently change the look of the fixture. The paint will be very hard, if not impossible to remove.
Step 1: Clean the Chandelier
Before beginning, make sure you clean the chandelier. You don’t want to put a fresh coat of paint over a dirt-covered fixture. Let the paint dry completely before moving on.
Step 2: Paint
Your safety is the most important thing. Make sure you spray paint outside, or in a well-ventilated area. Use a low-VOC spray paint. Begin applying in several thin layers. Let each coat dry completely before moving on to the next layer of paint.
Paint the Crystals
Step 1: Clean the Chandelier
Before you begin, make sure your chandelier is clean. If your chandelier has crystals on it—remove them.
Step 2: Paint!
You will need some paint brushes, and glass paint. Using the crystals you removed from the fixture, begin painting them one by one. Be creative. Any color will look great with the chandelier. Paint the crystals red, blue, orange, green…rainbow! You don’t have to stick to one color. If you want to bring more colors into your room, try using multiple colors on the same fixture.

* Add some strings of colored beads, and drape it around the chandelier.
