Create an enchanting retreat in a corner of your yard with a chandelier you can make in an hour. All you need is a wire basket, a few glass jars, and some chandelier crystals.
Pick out a wire basket with a handle and a flat base (find at home and garden shops, online auctions, and thrift or antique stores). Some are designed to hold glassware or small pots ― the built-in partitions will hold your jars in place.
Hang your crystals from the base and top; for a very fancy look, loop two strands of glass beads across the bottom.
Attach your chandelier to a patio roof or tree with a length of matching chain or a metal plant hanger. When you're seated, it should float just above eye level. Place tea lights or votives in the jars, light the candles, and enjoy the glow!
