Today is the first project that the Yard Art Ladies and I are sharing with you during our Summer Outdoor Art Fest. Let me introduce you to this fabulous group of bloggers:
And now onto my first project – an Ikea hack actually that turned out to be a keeper for my backyard!!
Don’t you love it when you get a bargain? This nature chandelier candleholder was a steal at $10 even though it was missing a couple of the cups to hold the candles. I just knew that with a bit of spray paint and some imagination, this baby would turn out to be something wonderful and unique.
My inspiration came from this old grapevine wreath. I made it a couple years ago and it has been transformed a couple of times. You might remember seeing it on the old barn door in my vegetable garden, but it had lost its shape and was beginning to look a little sad. A quick shot of white spray paint helped transform the dark chandy into something light and airy for the garden.
It was simple to unravel the grapevine wreath and to wind the new pieces onto the arms of the chandelier.
little distressing on the metal gives the chandelier a shabby look, perfect for the rusticness of the grapevine.
Be sure to wind the vine pieces in and out of the arms and up the centre portion to give it a natural look. This grapevine chandelier is going to be a great addition to the back deck – tea lights glowing in amongst the maple trees.
