I discovered clam baskets make a greathanging chandelier.
Hang with clothesline from a tree, beams or a pergola over your table. Pad the bottom
with moss and stand pillar
candles inside.
Love Buckets! use them to make prettyfloating flowerscapes. Add a floating candle.
Place it where your friends will Ohhh and AHHH!!
Flowers will look pretty
for days
Chandelier globes from the flea marketmake festive votives for candles.
Collect them in different shapes and sizes.
I placed them on a metal plant tray lined
with moss as a party idea.
I created this as another way to bring
candlelight to the garden border. Stacking various
old galvanized containers for height.
The middle is planted with flowers and the
top is filled with water and
floating candles

ReplyDeleteCandles in the garden add such a nice touch. These are such awesome and creative ideas. I especially love the clam basket chandelier. Making something so ordinary stand out like that is one of my favorite ways to decorate around the house!
ReplyDeleteAmazingly practical, easy, and most of all just gorgeous...Hi from San Diego!
ReplyDeleteI love every one of these ideas! I had to do a double take on the third one though. I used some of the same elements that you did, to create my own unique candleholder. You can see what I did here: http://thebrambleberrycottage.blogspot.com/2010/09/time-travel-thursday-9-vintage-sewing.html

ReplyDeleteThose are lovely and cute. All are DIY outdoor lights. Easy safe I guess. But its just too costly for everyday use. I guess. it would be perfect for a party.
