Continue adding inner and outer waterfall layers to your bead cap until each of the outer holes in the cap is full.
Depending on the cap you used, you may be able to create more than two waterfall layers.
Points to Watch For
- Check that the beads will cover your lamp bulb and base and that your strands are long enough that the crystals or smaller beads will catch the light. You can see on the sample chandelier where the light source is located inside the chandelier. Setting the light too high or too low will change the way the chandelier sparkles.
- Keep the strands on the outside simple, with one long bugle bead and one crystal or small bugle bead on the end. This will give your chandelier a smoother line. If you need to adjust the length of the inner strands, add small beads where the outer strand will cover them, and keep a simple long bead where it will be seen
- Check that the strands are roughly similar lengths. Some bugle beads are shorter than others.
- Try to keep the wires evenly bent through the bead cap - this will help your chandelier layers hang straight.
