Thank you so very much for stopping by. I...Cheryl,<br />Thank you so very much for stopping by. I will answer and if you have any other questions please feel free to e-mail me!! I cut the tomato cage just below the smallest ring. After making those 3 cuts I bent the long pieces so that they crossed over and formed a triangular opening which holds the light. I had a spool of old wire that was simply wrapped around the frame itself onto which the crystals were hung. After everything was said and done I ended up reinforcing the top with additional wire to better secure the hanging light kit. If I had to do it again I would eliminate the three long pieces all together and just use wire to make a grid from which to suspend it or cut out the support from an old lamp shade to secure the light kit to and then bend those wires around the top of the tomato cage frame. I would also recommend wearing gloves and making sure your wire cutters are sharp! My spool of wire was old and rusty but I love how that just adds to the patina! HOpe this helped! Like I said if you have any questions whatsoever please do not hesitate to contact me!! Once again thank you for stopping by!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082661310058536555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218351927533931727.post-35237408175665946182013-06-04T12:12:26.846-04:002013-06-04T12:12:26.846-04:00Would love to know how you made this into a shade....Would love to know how you made this into a shade...
