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.

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"...

[funluvnrm]

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...

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!!!

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...

LUVingKINDness, Funluvnrm
