Bird Cages Chandelier

I've been wanting a chandelier for quite a while now but since I live in an apartment it really isn't something I can have. Then I had this idea!

I have been holding on to the bird cages for a while now. I got them in the spring during a Michael's sale. I just fell in love with the bird cages and had to buy them. The problem was that I did not have anywhere to place to display them. At the time it did not go with my current decor, that was until now. The bird cages where all different sizes which was perfect for a chandelier! 

I had to first paint them all the same color. I decided to use a cherry red spray paint. The three things I always use during spray painting is drop cloth, cardboard and a mask. The last thing I wanted to do is paint the patio red. 

It took about three coats to cover all the bird cages. Once they dried I use two different kind of ribbons, I use a thin red ribbon to attache the smaller bird cages to the larger one. Then I use a thicker red ribbon to hang from the ceiling. 

Now I just need to go buy some tea lights and a lighter to light it all up! It's a simple bird cage chandelier.
