The truth is, I'm not a big fan of the chandelier in my dining room area and I cant make any permanent renovations on it. For the fact that our current home is a rental. So, I'm always looking for something fun to give it some spunk.
In combination to yesterdays post of my door wreath I decided to make a pompom photo chandelier. Influenced by the polka dotted pattern on the fabric and the quote on the wreath. Pompoms and pictures were the first to come to mind! What better way to display memorable moments with family and friends, than this thrifty DIY!
Supplies needed: Medium sized cotton pom poms(dollar store buy), 16 yd's of embroidery floss, scissors, large sewing needle, 18 wallet sized BW photos printed in card stock paper, glue stick, hole puncher.
Stringing the Pompoms
1. Pick out your pompoms and 8 yd of embroidery floss. 2. Thread your needle with your embroidery floss. 3. Start to string in your pompoms in a desired pattern. 4. Spread out your pompoms giving a few inches of space between each pompom.
Hanging the Photos
1. Cut out your wallet sized photos. 2. Since the photos will be hanging you will glue two photos together creating double sided pictures. 3. Hole punch a hole at the top of every photo. 4. Cut 8 yd of embroidery floss into 9 pieces and string it through the hole on your photos.
Today's craft was easy as pie and a little wacky. I chose to string my pompoms & photos on my chandelier, but you on the other hand can get as creative as you please. You can hang them on your wall, on your fireplace mantel, over a window or mirror, in your bedroom- pretty much anywhere. The possibilities are endless. The point is to let your imagination loose and make something you love and enjoy!
