Yesterday I posted about The Beauty and the Beast Girls camp decor and especially this fun Chandelier DIY! I found it on Life is a Party but I changed a couple of things.
I found the large one and small one at thrift stores and all I needed was the middle size and I found that at Hobby Lobby for about $1.99!
You take the hoops and pull them apart so you only have one hoop per size.
(you could actually make two chandeliers)
I found the plastic gold silverware at hobby lobby too and I think they were 2.99 for a set of 8 place settings. I bought three bags.
Next get out your glue gun and start gluing the silverware in a pattern all around each hoop. I spaced them about 2″ apart and then I wanted to add some red to make it pop in between the silverware. I found these little red bows at Hobby Lobby and glued them on every other area in between the silverware.
I used fairly wide ribbon and attached it with hot glue starting at the bottom and then went up and made sure to leave a lot of extra at the top to hang from a tree or wherever you need to hang it. I only used three strands but should have done four. I have to say that the ribbon part was the trickiest part…because you want it to hang correctly. So if I were to make this again I would probably start with the biggest hoop and hang it from something and then add the other hoops with ribbon to make sure it all hangs straight…but it still worked great because you can maneuver the ribbon to hang correctly.
I can’t wait to use this for my granddaughter to have a tea party with her and her friends one day soon. 🙂
Here is the chandy hanging in the campsite from the canopy!
Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

What an idea for a piece of furniture, would not fall on someone's head.
Karin, that chandy is such a great idea, as well as how you carried it out. Great party, esp with your MacGyver husband!
