Studio G, Garden Design & Landscape Design Inspiration » DIY Outdoor Garden Chandelier Round-up I am eager to get home (on a red-eye flight tonight) and back to some projects and normal life. I have a patio project going on that should be nearing completion this week. Once finished, I am excited to start adding features — like a beautiful garden chandelier. I have lots of great, inexpensive, DIY options that I have rounded up for your inspiration and my own. Here’s a simple DIY garden chandelier tutorial from Ecologue. The full tutorial for this basket variety is at sunset magazine. This outdoor chandelier was made from beads found at the dollar store and the full directions can be found at dollar store crafts. These elegant glass Bubble Chandeliers can be made from directions found over at Re-Nest . It’s not lit, but still a beautiful concept. It’s just a simple pot rack….but stylishly mixed candles and succulents create quite a pretty scene. And finally, this branch fixture seems easy enough to recreate and would be perfect over a garden table.
