DIY Doily Chandelier

I am still swooning over the gorgeous pictures I found over at Martha Stewart Weddings. How incredible is this DIY chandelier made from doilies?! It is stunning! The chair swags are breathtaking as well. The perfect combination of DIY and chic. Love!
Here's how to make your own:

You will need:

A 12-inch and 24-inch wreath form
ribbon
4-inch doilies
thread
needle

1. Fold 4-inch doilies in half twice. Open them, and scrunch them up a little at the center to give them the ruffled appearance of flowers.

2. Thread flowers onto yarn to make strands 12 to 16 inches long, and tie to wreath. Attach extra flowers to wire with double-sided tape to fill in gaps.


3. Hang with ribbon, placing the smaller ring lower than the larger. (Use pushpins or adhesive hooks to secure to ceiling.)
