Spooky Chandelier
By Kristen Robinson
Witches and pumpkins dance in the air offering up more than a delightful scare! The chandelier has become my signature holiday must have. With delightful vintage Halloween Labels (5LE-30987) and a spot of ribbon it is the perfect quick and easy craft that does not require a cauldron and eye of newt to create!
Begin with an 8 inch wire wreath form – paint it with crème acrylic paint (5MA-23751), I did not cover the form completely as I wish it to look aged. While your form is drying begin cutting backgrounds for your labels (5LE-30987) to adhere to.
With orange and black satin ribbon cut various lengths in which your labels will hang. Once this is done begin placing the ribbons on the form. With a small drop of glue, glue the long strips of ribbon to your cardstock backgrounds. Now place your labels on the front and back side of each background. Repeat this process until you have the desired amount of images.
Add four long strips of ribbon for hanging; I placed the ends of all of my strips through a 1” binder ring this helps the piece remain balanced. I added a few tea dyed tags that had been stamped with a Vintage Baby Skeleton Stamp and black ink (5TH-TIM19541). Complete your chandelier by filling the empty space on your form with black and orange ribbon alternating the two around the piece as well as the ring.
Tips - This project works great on any size form and is applicable to any holiday or occasion! Hang in your Mansion of spookiness and fun and enjoy!
