Driftwood Chandeliers

Driftwood is one of my favorite things.  I'm always drawn to it in home decor and when I see it out and about.  So when I came across these strands of driftwood on clearance at T.J. Maxx, I scooped them up.  They were a great price and I knew I could probably figure out something fun to do with them.


I was searching the web for inspiration and came across this DIY chandelier.  I was smitten.  I think it's absolutely gorgeous and would make such a great statement.

 I would love to do something similar, but I think my pieces of driftwood are a little too large.  I'm still thinking I might do some sort of light fixture, maybe for our breakfast nook?

I'll keep you posted on what I come up with!  If you've seen any inspiring projects with driftwood I'm all ears!

  5. I'm drawn to it like you Bethany and have a couple of pieces in my home (like a huge mirror from West Elm), A DIY would be perfect way to go since the imperfections of driftwood do hide 'mistakes' easier. I think though, a ball driftwood chandelier would be easier, Im thinking 2 wired hanging pots as base and adding driftwood as you go along- I think it might just work. Good luck!

  7. What if you did a more modern rectangle ones like they do with capiz? Although I guess modern might be hard to do with driftwood lol - great idea of how to use it!

  8. I thought about doing something similar, but in a circular shape. Rectangular would be really cool though, great idea!

  10. That's a great idea Vel! I thought about doing a ball shaped one, but didn't think about using the planters that way. I think that might work really well. Thank you!!

  15. Love the chandelier idea! A few weeks ago, I scored a whole box of driftwood for 25 cents at a garage sale! I'm sure the seller just picked them up off the side of the river and thought I was crazy for buying them - but I can't wait to add them to cute little succulent & grass pots!
