| Outdoor chandelier Create an enchanting retreat in a corner of your yard with a chandelier you can make in an hour. All you need is a wire basket, a few jam jars, and a few pretty crystals. Pick out a wire basket with a handle and a flat base. (We've seen them in home and garden shops, online auctions, and thrift stores.) Look for one designed to hold glassware or small pots - the built-in partitions will hold your jars in place. Then hang crystals from the base and top; if desired, loop tow strands of glass beads across the bottom too. Seattl'e Swanky Nest (www.swankynest.com or 1-888-9Prisms) has a great selection of baubles. Attach your chandelier to a patio roof or tree with matching chain (or use a metal plant hanger). When your seated, it should float just above eye level. Pop tea lights or votives into the jars, and light the candles as dusk decends |
