Vintage YOT: Valentine Chandelier

Here's a fun way to bring Valentine's Day to your lighting fixtures! 

 Supplies:  White branches (available at craft stores or spray paint some found branches), an upcycled paperback, vintage book, or scrapbook paper. A heart paper punch, florist's wire, plastic chandelier pendants, Elmer's Glue or Modge Podge and scissors. Optional: Seam binding or ribbon.

Punch out hearts. I punched out sixty heart to make the front and back of thirty. If your book is Valentine or romance related, it's easy to center your punch to get certain words or phrases on the heart.

 Cut wire and attach branches to a lighting fixture.

Use the white glue or Modge Podge to coat one side of a heart.  

Line an other heart on top and glue to branch.  

Continue all over branches until you are satisfied.

 

String the wire through the plastic chandelier pendants

Add them where you like.

 
 Balance hearts and pendants.

If you want a little something extra, you can add seam binding or ribbon.

Tie gentle bows where you'd like to see a pop of color.

Voila!
