Make A Candy Cane Chandelier

by Myra on December 15, 2009

During a recent episode of un-intentional brainstorming {why is it that I can intentionally brainstorm and never think of anything?} that I came up with this awesome plan for decorating in our dining area!

What do you get when you put 36 candy canes {only 0.88/box} and clear fishing line together?

Cheap.
Beautimous.
Pottery Barn-ish.

Fabulously Frugal.

A Candy Cane Christmas Chandelier!!

Now…Go find some candy canes and fishing line and get hanging!

Do you decorate with candy canes?

I’m linking up to:  Finer Things FridayTip Junkie and Layla’s Tablescape Party!

This is brilliant. I'm new to your site (came from WFMW) and I'm now convinced you're a genius. I'm definitely doing this next year. Great idea.

Lol! Very creative and cute! :) To think… I just resorted to wrapping a huge strand of cheapo red beads around, over, below, etc. my light fixture! ha ha Love the "Noel" on your window pane too!

It's a very cute idea. I could see my kids trying to get it down to eat it or the cats trying to get to it to bat it. You are very creative and gifted!

I bought the fishing line and candy canes, today….my 17 year old daughter has suggested I use some of her gold crimping beads to attach the line to the canes….it will be subtle….but pretty…Thanks for the wonderful idea!!! Merry Christmas!!!!

Yours in Christ,
Bonnie
