SNS #68 brings you - chandeliers!


Welcome to SNS #68, the chandelier edition!


If you're new here, join in! There are three categories to link to. Home Decor as well as Crafts, Sewing, Recipes, plus the 3rd themed link up which stays open indefinitely. Check below for this weekend's theme.

Party starts Fri night and ends Sunday 11pm pacific, so you have all weekend to join!

I LOVE to highlight inspiring posts during the event on the sidebar, so make sure you check in several times over the weekend. You may be next. :)
this weekend's theme

~ chandeliers ~

Well, this isn't a new reveal. But you have to admit it was a rather gutsy one. :)


 before


 during


after

This one of a kind treatment was so fun and really didn't take that long to make! The trick was to find a chandy with the right lines, then use willow branches and grapevines so they were all able to bend in all the right places.

The full tutorial is HERE.

Do I love it the same to this day as the day I made it? Absolutely!


What creative things have you done with your own chandelier?
Can't wait to see in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

bulletin boards

slip covers

Be sure to check the themed linkups master list to add your newest creations anytime. They're always open. List HERE.

 
~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~

1. Please link up your intended post, NOT your blog homepage url. (post, then click the title of your post, then cut and paste that url) If your post has been deleted, please try again.

 2. Please put a link in your post (button or text) that leads back to the party so others can see what's up. (see BUTTONS label under main blog header)

 3. This party is geared for DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style.

4. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and/or within 1 month old.  This helps keep content fresh.

The 3rd weekly themed link may have older posts and not brand new to SNS and will remain open for your new additions at any time. Click HERE for the main list.

If you can't decide which category to enter yours in, please just pick ONE and go with it. It's all good!

    I have similiar chandelier in my basement storage room and seeing your idea, I may do this and hang it outside off a tree branch under either our fire pit/bar area or the whiskey barrel fountain/grilling area. Humm..thanks again...Mel's Cabin enjoys your ideas...I featured an old picture of yours with terrecotta pots.
