No one will be gloomy or complaining with flatware this entertaining! Create your own enchanted space with this charming chandelier inspired by Beauty and the Beast.
Materials
- 3 embroidery hoops in different sizes (available online or at craft stores)
- Hot glue gun
- Gold-colored plastic utensils
- Scissors
- Gold-colored ribbon
Directions
1. Take the large embroidery hoop and affix utensil handles to the hoop’s outer lip until the entire circumference of the hoop is covered with utensils.
2. Do the same with the medium and small hoops.
3. Attach the hoops to each other (large at the top, medium in the middle, and small at the bottom) with gold ribbon to create a three-tier chandelier. (The length of the ribbons will depend on how big your utensils are.) Attach the large hoop to the medium one with gold ribbon, connecting the two hoops in at least three different points. Make sure to double-knot the ribbon on both hoops to ensure that they are well-secured to each other.
4. Repeat the step above, attaching the medium hoop to the small one in the same way.
5. Cut four strips of ribbon and tie one end of each strip of ribbon to the large hoop.
6. We suggest displaying the utensil chandelier one of two ways:
- You can attach it to a real chandelier by tying the other end of the four ribbon strips in step 5 to the real chandelier.
- You can use screw-in hangers attached to the ceiling and tie the utensil chandelier from these.
