Equipment

  • Plant nippers & wire cutters
  • Floral wire
  • Scissors

Ingredients

  • Garland of your choice fresh or faux
  • Twinkle lights
  • Extra decor like holly and pine cones

Instructions

  • Prepare Your Garland: If using fresh, unclasp and separate the stems. Faux garland works great too!
  • Attach Wire to Chandelier: Create a base by looping floral wire around the chandelier in large swoops. Don’t make it too tight—you’ll want room to tuck in the greenery.
  • Thread in Greenery: Start with the longest stems, threading them through the wire at the bottom of the chandelier. Layer smaller stems afterward to fill in gaps.
  • Add Extra Decor: Once greenery is in place, attach decor picks and twinkle lights for a magical touch.
  • Final Touches: Stand back, adjust for fullness, and ensure the wire is hidden from below. Be cautious of light bulbs, making sure branches don’t touch them.

Notes

Pro Tip: Fresh garland can last well through the season. Faux garland is great if you decorate early.
