How to Make a Chandelier From Twinkle Lights

You can make a simple twinkle light chandelier from items that can be found at the hardware store and floral design shop. This sparkly chandelier will look great hanging from the ceiling over a holiday buffet table and a matched pair of the chandeliers would add extra charm to the festivities. A twinkle light chandelier is also well-suited for outdoor use and could be hung from a pergola or tree branch to decorate a patio for a garden party
