How to Make a Pirate Ship Chandelier

If there is an old chandelier in your child's room that feels out of place, transform or disguise it by adding whimsical, pirate-themed accessories to it. The key is to create a visual effect that draws the viewer's eye away from mere brass and bulbs and turns the chandelier into an adventure on the high seas.

Instructions

  Wrap the chandelier base with blue metallic wire garland, which you can purchase at a craft store. Twist it in and out of the chandelier frame, creating the look of water.

  Hang holiday tree ornaments in the shapes of fish, boats, pirates, anchors and other ship-themed items from the blue garland.
- 3
  Nestle miniature pirate flags into the wire so that they are hanging off the sides of the chandelier.

  Cut 10-inch strips of fabric ribbon in red, blue, white and black. Tie the ribbon in various places around the chandelier to give the chandelier visual interest.
