Also with this video being done in 2008, I can NOT find the same "wreath forms" that Kim M. shows on this video, I've been to maaaaany flower shops, NO LUCK, so with NO CHOICE, I ended up going back to the craft store & HAD to buy the BIG WREATH FORM that was a DEEP GREEN COLOR, but I PAINTED it GOLD!!! But with putting the paper clips on, it scratched some of the GOLD PAINT OFF of the WREATH FORM, GRRR... Suggestion: Spray it with the GOLD PAINT a few times...

The CHEAPEST place that I have found to buy my "GOLD paper clips" is at "shoplet.com"... By the time I figure out, how many paper clips that's needed, I ended up "BUYING the BOXES of 50 PAPER CLIPS" by the time I am done buying, I end up paying "$1.12 for each container" of 50 paper clips, cause I bought so many... Now I am going to have to order more paper clips & so I can do the outside, on the wreath form, but at least, this time, I'll know about how many that I will NEED to order!!!

Now once again, "IF the math is correct for the "OUTSIDE" I'm putting "25 PAPER CLIPS ACROSS" & "8 PAPER CLIPS HANGING DOWN", with a TOTAL of "1600 PAPER CLIPS"... Soooo, ADDING "2,560 + 1,600" = "4,160 PAPER CLIPS"!!! I have this written to where you can double check to see "IF" my math is correct, blushing, wink, LOL...

There are "8 SECTIONS on the wreath form that I found", (But the ONLY wreath form I found is a deep GREEN, but I painted it gold, NOT much of a choice, PLUS I have noticed that some of the PAINT is coming off, from putting on the "PAPER CLIPS"...) I put "20 STRANDS" on each SECTION with "16 PAPER CLIPS going down & so IF the math is correct, this means there are a total of "2,560 PAPER CLIPS"...

I'm sure Kim M. will NOT return to answer our questions about wanting to know, (Since this video was put here on Sept. 2, 2008.) on how many paper clips a person may need to make this chandelier, soooo, I am still in the process of making this "paper clip chandelier, but my ceiling in my home is NOT as high, so I had to make some changes as needed!!! Remember the "JEWELRY CHAIN" makes it LONGER as well... Plus I've already began putting them on the INSIDE 1st, cuz I thought it would be easier.
