How to make a Spring Wreath for a Chandy

March 25, 2014 by Patti 20 Comments

This is my crystal chandy.  As I’ve shared before, this was the first birthday gift given to me by Mr. OTN in our first home together.  So while I love it “as is”, I find it fun to change it up a bit with the seasons (my favorite was my Christmas Chandy which you can view HERE).

21-Undecorating the Christmas Chandy 033To usher in the warmer weather I’ve created a Spring wreath (of sorts) for my chandy, with flowers purchased at the L.A. Flower market (to read more about the market and see the amazing flowers you can link back HERE).

01-Spring Chandy 001-001I began with two different types of flowering branches.  I have no idea what these flowers are called though I wish I did.  Does anyone know what they might be?

02-Spring Chandy 003-001I laid down three of these pretty green branches first, across the arms of the chandelier.

03-Spring Chandy 005Then I placed three of the white flowering branches on top.

03-Spring Chandy 017After a little twisting (to connect the ends of the branches together) and a little tucking (to hide the bare ends and the wires) . . .

04-Spring Chandy 007. . . VOILA!  A Spring wreath for my chandy!

05-Spring Chandy 008

08-Spring Chandy 013-001You can see in this picture that it is another sunny day on the lake, for a few minutes anyway.  This time of year the weather is so unpredictable and it has been sunny . . . rainy . . . cloudy . . . sunny all day.

18-Spring Chandy 026The shining sun causes the crystals to send off rainbows of color all around the room.  Be still my beating heart!

10-Spring Chandy 021So that’s it.  A Spring Wreath for my Chandy.

12-Spring Chandy 023It was fun decorating her for Spring but I’m already thinking ahead and wondering what her summer decor will be.  Shells perhaps?

Blessings,

My Signature

    The wreath looks lovely on your chandelier – I think the flower might be clover. It’s what I remember seeing out in the fields on my grandparents farm when I was a young child.

    Patti, I love what you chose to use to make your “wreath”. I don’t know what those little flowers are called either, I see them at Michaels a lot though, they’re really pretty. I like how you kept it to a more monochromatic scheme, a nice change from all the many-colored things we see in the spring decor usually. Very elegant with your elegant chandelier. Thanks for sharing this at the History & Home Link Party this week! Take care – Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com

    The chandy is radiant with all of the sparkle. Love the spring touches that you added to the chandy. The flowers do look like clover. I remember the honey bee’s in the summer would be all over the yard sipping the nectar from the clover flowers. I don’t see them anymore………

    That looks really pretty! Your chandelier is beautiful- what a nice gift from Mr. OTN. I’ve decorated mine at Christmas with a wreath I attached to the bottom side and decorated but I haven’t done one sort of “free form” . I like how yours turned out- perfect for spring!
