A few weeks ago we ventured into the world of DIY lighting, complete with vintage-style marquees, yarn lanterns, and the like. While researching this, we came across a whole bunch of gorgeous DIY chandeliers as well! Making your own chandelier definitely takes a little more elbow grease than a mason jar with a light bulb in it, but all of these projects are totally doable and perfect for weekend making. Be sure to let us know if you have a favorite in the comments below – and stay tuned for our own DIY chandelier in the next few days!
