Paper Greenery Chandelier

Steps

  1. Gather tools and materials listed above.
  2. Cut two 4-foot pieces of fishing line, tie each end to the big hoop, spacing them evenly apart. Adjust the placement of the ties so that the hoop hangs level, then secure the ties in place with a drop of glue.
  3. Tie a knot at the meeting point of the two lines, leaving a loop at the top for hanging.
  4. Cut four 12″ pieces of fishing line. Tie one end of each line to the small hoop and the other end to the big hoop in the same spots as the first ties. Secure all ties in place with a small dot of glue.
  5. Cut out 10-15 pieces of each type of greenery in various shades green using scissors or a cutting machine. If you are using your Cricut, it is super easy to upload the templates into your Design Space, and the machine will take care of the rest for you! Then use the edge of your scissors to curl the leaves.
  6. Begin gluing the greenery to the big hoop with hot glue. Allow some of the leaves to hang down, filling in the space between the two hoops.
  7. Wrap two vine greens up each piece of fishing line and glue into place.
  8. Glue more greenery around the small hoop, then glue about 25 pieces of various greenery hanging down from the small hoop.

Tips & Styling Ideas

Similar to any wreath project, this DIY greenery chandelier is extremely easy to personalize. Our template includes 3 types of ferns, silver dollar eucalyptus, an olive branch and a palm leaf. You can also add in some Queen Anne’s Lace or dusty miller from our rustic bridal bouquet for more variety. If you want to make the chandelier even more of a statement piece, you can make it a three-tier design by adding a 6″ hoop below the 10″ one. We decided to use fishing line to make the chandelier appear as if it were floating, but you can add a rustic touch by using jute twine instead.

When you’re finished crafting, there are tons of ways you can use this paper greenery chandelier. Wedding decor is an obvious one, but this project could also be great for hanging on your back deck or patio for the warmer months. Or why not make a lush botanical baby mobile? And of course, you do not have to limit yourself to just greenery for this design – add in a couple of fresh or paper blooms if you’re feeling inspired!
