where did you get the wood for them?

How long did it take and what type of glue did you use?

I bought the crystals on Ebay from crystals_unlimited. I bought the wood on Ebay also, from oldave100.

I pained the wood silver, and it took about three coats. Paint came from Michael's crafts, and so did the glue for the crystals. I used clear tacky glue. *HINT* Apply the glueto small sections of the wood with a paintbrush, then place the crystals with a tweezer.

It probably took 3-4 hours all together, but I didn't complete it all in one day. (I kept running out of crystals!! Those bags of 144 don't go as far as you'd think!) Total cost was probably about $60, and I get to say I made it myself!
