If the broom fits, fly it! Although this stunning broomstick chandelier only takes a few easy steps to create, it will make a huge impact in your party space this Halloween. We hung this one over the table in our dining room during our Witchy Woman Ghouls' Night In Party, but it would look fabulous hanging over a kitchen island or a fireplace!
Begin by removing blooms from a White Peony Floral Mat and Faux Floral Bouquet with Mixed Greenery. Take the blooms to a well-ventilated area and spray paint them in deep shades of burgundy and purple. Use painter's tape to protect the yellow centers of the peonies.
Venture outdoors to find a long stick to use as the base of your broom. Remove any smaller branches and thoroughly clean the stick to remove any debris.
Layer multiple bunches of Pampas Grass and other dried natural florals (if desired) around one end of the stick to create the "brush" portion of the broom. Use floral wire to secure the grasses to the stick.
Gather a few strands of Natural Dried Raffia Ribbon and begin wrapping it around the end of the broom to hide the ends of the grasses and floral wire. Use a few dabs of hot glue as you go to adhere the ribbon to the stick.
Once the paint on the flowers has dried, use hot glue to attach a few blooms atop the ribbon towards the beginning of the brush portion of the broom. We also added a bit of greenery by way of a eucalyptus branch.
Next, cut several long lengths of black ribbon and tie one piece to the top of several Small Round Hanging Globes. We used seven globes for our chandelier, but this can be adjusted to your liking.
Fill each of the glass globes with two spoonfuls of Burgundy Sand and then place a Black Battery Operated Votive Candle into the center of each.
Using fishing line, suspend the broom over your dining table from Command™ Hooks affixed to the ceiling.
Now tie each of the glass globes to the broom stick spacing them a few inches apart.
Finally, stand back and admire your wicked awesome creation! Be sure to fly on over to check out the full Witchy Woman Ghouls' Night In Party, along with the Test Tube Floral Centerpiece and the DIY Layered Fabric Backdrop.
