A pop of color and a brush of texture is sometimes all you need to transform a space from bland to beautiful. No one knows this better than flower-guru, Julie Michaels of Ariella Flowers. Her new book, The Flower Workshop, shares 50 gorgeous DIY flower projects, including hanging arrangements (like these marigold curtains) that add a touch of whimsical sophistication to a gathering, without sucking up valuable surface space! Kick your creativity into full-bloom with this crafty DIY fern chandelier, perfect for adding a touch of earthy elegance to your next gathering.
A playful addition to any party, this chandelier is decorated with plumosa and leatherleaf ferns, inexpensive varieties that can remain out of water for a long time - up to two days - which makes them suitable for this kind of arrangement. Each orchid stem can be set into an individual tube of water, but these flowers will also last for a day or two without drinking. This circular brass chandelier was discovered at a flea market, but since you cover it in ferns, any round structure might do, even two 24- or 30-inch round wire wreath forms wired together for greater depth. This wreath was suspended over the outdoor table using a metal pole fastened to two adjoining buildings, but depending on your location, you may have to use other methods.
