I'm totally a sucker for chandeliers of all kinds. In my dream house, there would be chandeliers in every room! Unfortunately my reality is low ceilings and ceiling fans, alas. However this design, like my plastic stemware chandelier from a couple of weeks ago, can also hang out on the front porch! Sibylle from fun.kyti.me found a roll of chicken wire at the dollar store and was inspired to create a rustic-chic chandy featuring tea light candles and nature-inspired details. It's so creative I can hardly stand it! [how to make a chicken wire chandelier]

Project estimate:

Chicken wire, $1 and up
Wire clothes hanger, on hand or $1
Hanging tomato planter, about $5
Tea lights, on hand or $1
Twig, free
Moss, on hand or $1
Bird, $1
Chandelier crystals, about $5
Pliers, on hand
Glue gun, on hand

Total: about $11 and up

I am so impressed with this! I’m an Australian mum with one child at school and two homeschooled, and I think this is a great project to do with my children. I’m always on the lookout for something hands on for my children. Thanks!
