I need help making this type of chandalier?

Question

I visited India last year and went to a restaurant. Over the tables, the lighting was a type of chandelier made up of bangles (Indian bracelets) It looked beautiful and I would like to make my own. How could I do that using the millions of bangles I have in my home? Thanks soo much!

No matter what all of the designers on the home makeover shows do, DO NOT try to make your own lighting fixtures. I don't care if it is from scratch, or by modifying an existing fixture; it is a violation of NEC 110.3(B) - Listing & Labeling. Whenever you install any electrical device, equipment, appliance or fixture; you MUST follow the Manufacturer's Installation Instructions exactly. If you don't, you have voided the product's listing. Once you have done that, there is no way to prove the product is safe, short of a very expensive procedure known as a "Field Evaluation".

Keep looking, there is bound to be a light at the end of the tunnel.
