How gorgeous those light shades are! Neat project!!!!!! It may take several of us to answer your question. The things I do have knowledge of is "sheet moss". In the craft section of Walmart where the silk (fake) flowers are, they have sheet moss in a bag. You soak it before you work with it. I have also seen quantity boxes of sheet moss on Ebay. Some folks have recommended putting a baby diaper in the bottom of your planter to regulate moisture for the plants. I'm wondering if a key ring (or similar metal loop) can be used on the outside of the planter. Put Wire ( smallest gage wire in the electrical dept) from the key ring and through the little glass hole and attach to the chain on the inside of the planter. Chandilear prisms (Ebay) could be hung on the exterior key rings (loop). You do not show the type of chain that you bought so I can only tell you how I would have done mine. I would have bought real loop chain (per foot which comes on a roll). It would need to be a somewhat small size, which comes in different sizes and colors. You can hook anything to chain and the hardware department is full of hooks that would attach to chain easily. Some of the other people here have worked with beads and such. And maybe someone has done the project that you speak of. Good luck. We will all want to see the finished project!!!!!

@ptreckel I agree! We learned this the hard way. The Edison bulbs were too dim. We tried brighter Edison bulbs with higher wattage (with clear glass shades), which were harsh on our eyes and made the space unevenly lit and full of shadows. Now we are on the hunt for shades with diffused light.

depending where you live contact a lighting store, there are people who still make customer exterior lights like this, one is a company called Mica, one of their glass may fit it, otherwise you will need to find a local glass blower
