Do you ever dream of bringing a touch of nature indoors with a unique twist?
This cascading plant chandelier is the perfect fusion of greenery and rustic charm, and the best part? You can make it for under $50!
Not only will it be a striking addition to your home, but it’s also a satisfying DIY project that anyone can tackle with a bit of creativity.
You'll need:
You find a sturdy piece of driftwood or a branch from a nearby outdoor area.
Look for something with character - natural twists and turns will make your chandelier stand out.
Depending on your aesthetic preference, use either twine or chains.
Then you cut your lengths evenly, ensuring they’ll hold the chandelier securely from the ceiling.
Now you should select trailing plants like ivy or string of pearls. For $15, you can get several small pots of cascading plants that will bring that draping effect to life.
Next, you attach your plants to the branch using hooks or wire, hanging them at varying heights for depth and movement.
You grab some recycled glass jars or inexpensive mason jars.
Pop in battery-operated LED tea lights - these give off a lovely, soft glow and stay cool, so they’re safe to use around plants.
Finally, use hooks to secure it in place, making sure it’s balanced. Arrange your plants and jars to create an even, eye-catching display.
High ceilings work best, allowing the chandelier to cascade fully.
In addition, you can consider hanging it above your dining table for an intimate dinner vibe or near a reading nook for a cozy, nature-inspired corner.
You should use a spray bottle to mist your plants and maintain their health without disassembling the whole piece. Besides, trim the plants regularly to keep them healthy and full of life.
If the lights get dusty, simply wipe the jars with a damp cloth.
