Materials And Tools Needed To Make A DIY Floral Chandelier Garland
Variety of fresh greens
Fresh and/or silk flowers — I used a combination of both. The garland is mainly composed of fresh flowers, but there are silk peonies.

How To Make A DIY Floral Chandelier Garland
Step 1 — Begin by creating several small bundles of greenery wrapped together with floral wire at the base.
Step 2 — Tuck flowers into the greenery bundles attaching them with floral wire.
Step 3 — Now join the bundles together.
I found it helpful to cut 5″ pieces of floral wire and bend them into “U” shapes.
Step 4 — Overlap the mini bundles “head to toe” and secure them with the “U” shaped wire pieces by inserting them from the underside of the bundles and twisting a few times around the more prominent stems in each of the two bundles.
Once you have several feet of garland, it’s time to install it!
Step 5 — Carefully wrap the garland around your chandelier, overlap the ends of the garland and join with another few “U” shaped wire pieces to secure the ends together.
And that’s it!
You can even make a matching DIY Flower Punch Bowl Wreath or DIY Fresh Flower Sign if you have extra foliage.
Or even DIY Fresh Floral Sage Bundles for your guests as plate settings and party favors.
Tips To Selecting Flowers And Greenery For Garlands
When it comes to springtime garlands, I like to use 3 parts fresh flowers and greenery to 1 part silk flowers.
Fresh, affordable greens, tulips, and filler flowers from the supermarket form the base of the garland. And then it’s topped off with silk peonies.
The fresh greens and tulips retain their crisp look quite well, allowing you to assemble the garland the day before, knowing it’ll look smashing the day of!
I hope you love this project as much as I do!
It will definitely come in handy for your next few spring and summer evening dinners or parties for a subtle, but perfectly pretty touch.
