How to make your own rustic-chic chandelier
Add instant style to your next outdoor party with this DIY weatherproof pendant lamp. All you need is some foraged gnarled branches and a couple of strands of exterior string lights. Bind the branches together with twine, wrap the lights around them, and plug it in. Voila! You’ve created a one-of-a-kind backyard chandelier. Bonus: You probably have the perfect lights packed away in your holiday boxes.
