Flower Chandelier for a sweet kid’s playroom

I hacked the IKEA KRISTALLER into a flower chandelier for my oldest daughter, Kim, 8 years ago. I decided to make a similar one for my daughter Romy.

The whole hack doesn’t take long. I spent an afternoon and evening getting it done. The chandelier, paint and decorations cost around 80€.

IKEA items used:
  • IKEA Kristaller
Other materials and tools:

Hack instructions for flower chandelier

First things first, I carefully took off all crystal chains from the chandelier.

Before getting started, I took a picture of the chandelier so I’ll know where the chains go once I finished the hack.

I also taped the chains to a cardboard and noted where they go.

Then, I covered the sockets and went outside to spray paint the chandelier. Once the paint was dry I started with the actual hack.

I began with the flower tendrils wrapping them around the chandelier branches from top to bottom, so the flowers would hang down.

After that, I used the transparent string to bind them to the chandelier. Next I wrapped a bead chain around the stick in the middle fixing it at top and bottom.

It was Christmas time and I found a purple lametta chain while hunting for decorations. I measured and cut the chain into 3 pieces and glued the parts around the bulb sockets.

Once the glue was dry, I reattached the crystal chains. I decided to leave off the bottom ones and rearranged the smaller chains to my liking. As a final touch, I attached some blue butterfly clips to the flower tendrils.

Tada! The flower chandelier hack was finished.

I like that it adds a bit of greenery and spring feeling in the kid’s bedroom. Also the individuality.

The hardest part of the hack was taking off and reattaching those crystal chains.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.
