Sometimes spooky can be surprisingly beautiful and that's exactly the look we achieved with the creation our gothic wreath chandelier. We hung the chandelier hung over our dining table during our Birds of a Feather Creep Together Dinner Party and it gave the illusion of a bird's nest floating in the clouds. The addition of flowers and eucalyptus softened the harsh feel of the black bat wreath and helped us pull together a creepy chic look! Follow the steps below to create your own.
Begin by removing the skull from one of the skeletons on the hanging skeleton garland, and then spray painting it gold. One of the creepy skulls would work for this project as well. Make sure to spray paint in a well-ventilated area.
Next, remove the light kit and the bats from the black bat lighted wreath.
Wrap a silver dollar eucalyptus garland around the wreath. It should hold itself onto the wreath perfectly due to the wire in the garland.
Once the paint on the skull has dried, use hot glue to adhere it to one of the branches on the wreath.
Next, remove the blooms from a gold hoop with peonies and hot glue them to the wreath.
Attach a feathered crow to the wreath, using a bit of floral wire, between two of the flowers.
Add the final bloom and a few black ostrich feathers to the wreath to round out the look. The feathers should simply tuck into place, however, use a dab of hot glue as needed.
Finally, hang your DIY Gothic Wreath Chandelier using fishing line over your dining table during your Birds of a Feather Creep Together Dinner Party!
