glittered tabletop chandelier

have you seen these beauties in the Halloween Martha Mag?

they are amazing, right?

also, very expensive.

like $100-$200 expensive

I decided to try to make a mini knock- off.

this one is about 10" high

not quite as elaborate,

but cost me about $4

( I had everything but the glitter)

Make a few to set on a buffet or use as a centerpiece

and you can make the same spooky statement

I just used white cardstock and cut it out

I then used a sponge brush and brushed on Elmer's glue

and sprinkled Martha's onyx glitter on top.

I cut each piece, one from top to middle

the other from bottom to middle,

and put them together.

I did have to add hot glue in the cuts to hold it together.

does this make any sense?

hopefully.

tips to make your own:

use something thicker, maybe cardboard or foam core board

(mine is a little wobbly)

paint your paper/cardboard black before glittering

(I didn't, so it took about 3 coats of glitter to cover that white paper!)

I'm going to attempt a chandelier sometime in the future,

maybe for miss A's first bday party,

I'm thinking hot pink!

Here is more Halloween decor for you to enjoy!

all you need is a wood wreath form (got mine at Michael's)

I then spray painted it black,

hot glued on some mini pumpkins,

and added a black bow to my wreath hanger.

super easy!
