Part 1: Create Pom Pom Strings
1. Thread pom poms
![string pom poms](https://img.ehowcdn.com/375/media-storage/contentlab-data/6/26/bbe331d534044d5d9d95a5ef78755e0b.jpg)
To begin, use a large needle to thread 16 pom poms onto a 30-in. piece of string or yarn, creating six pom pom strands. Make sure to leave approximately 4 in. of string on both ends. Adjust number of pom poms accordingly if you're working with a different size. By the end of this step, each pom pom strand should measure around 20 in. in length.
Part 2: Create Chandelier Base
1. Assemble chandelier base

If preferred, purchase new metal shade rings on Amazon. We opted for a sustainable approach and repurposed an 11-in. metal shade ring from a thrifted lampshade. Simply remove existing shade material from metal ring. Position a 6-in. wooden embroidery hoop in center of shade ring and secure using a combination of hot glue and craft wire.
2. Paint

Ensure proper ventilation in your workspace and then proceed to spray paint chandelier base with a coat of white paint. Allow paint to dry overnight, giving it ample time to set. Alternatively, choose a color for the base that complements the pom poms you've selected.
3. Secure light

Turn ring over. Using a hot glue gun, securely attach battery-operated touch light to center of metal shade ring.
Part 3: Attach Pom Pom Strings
1. Tie strings to outside ring

Tie ends of pom pom strings at equal intervals around outer edge of metal shade ring.

Shade rings typically feature three metal spokes extending from center of shade. Attach a long piece of string or yarn to each spoke, which will serve as a hanging mechanism for chandelier.
