Steps
Gather your tools and materials
Below are all of the tools and materials you'll need to complete this project.
Paint the timber
First, paint the piece of timber. This will form the structure of the chandelier. The colour is completely up to you - (we've opted for white). Put your safety equipment on and lay down a drop sheet. Use a steady side-to-side motion for an even spray. Leave to dry.
Assemble foliage
While the timber is drying, assemble the foliage. Start with the larger pieces first, grouping them together with the smaller ones. Get creative!
Attach arrangements
Attach your arrangements to the timber with the nylon fishing line. Wrap the fishing line around the timber and knot when the foliage is secure. Repeat this step until you reach the other end of the timber, or until you’re happy with the foliage coverage. You may need to use glue to secure longer pieces of foliage to the wood.
Hang chandelier
Loop rope around the timber and over the beam of your marquee or gazebo. You will need to secure both ends, as well as the centre of the chandelier. The length of the rope will depend on how high or low you want your chandelier to hang.

Why not build your own grazing table to enjoy with your new outdoor chandelier.
