How-To Make a Halloween Chandelier Nest

The Chateau’s beautifully decorated mantelpiece is a key feature of every Strawbridge Christmas. This festive display combines homemade crafts with the Wallpaper Museum wallpaper for a striking centrepiece.

What You'll Need:

Step 1.

Wrap the vine around the brass arms of the chandelier, going over and under to get a layered structure to weave the dried grass onto.

Step 2.

Using garden twine and long dried grass, tie little bundles together before tying each bundle onto the vine. You can also use paper raffia instead of dried grass.

Step 3.

Tie a double knot for each bundle of grass, tying the grass, vine and chandelier arm together to ensure it is securely held in place.

Step 4.

Add the feather crows by tying to the vine structure. Loop the grass bundles around the vine and chandelier arms leaving some strands hanging down for a dramatic effect.

If you make this, we'd love to see it. You can share it on the Escape To The Chateau Fan Club Facebook Group or tag us on Instagram @escape.to.the.chateau
