I finished this last week and hung it in my little patio getaway room. I love how it turned out and want to make another for sure.
Havn't had a chance to light it up yet...but will soon for sure. It was easy and fun!! It was from an idea in the big MJ ideabook.

That is so cool! Is there a Sisterhood badge for this? If not, there should be!

oh, I just had a cute idea for it too...couldn't you just see large seasonal yo-yo's attached to it in different areas..just to "gussy" it up for each seasons celebrations?
like yo-yo flowers attached here and there on it...or a tiny yo yo garland draped through that wire too.
o.k. o.k. maybe I'm being silly..but ahh well.

Very nice! I loved that chandelier in the big book too, but haven't tried to make one. It will look beautiful lit up. How nice of MaryJane to share all all these great ideas with us. Karin

It is actually the green wire. It was very easy Frannie...you could do it easily..if I can anyone can..just need a good set of pliers with the wire cutter thing on it. Mine are fence builder's pliers..my second son got them for me on Mother's day one year...they have been SOOOO useful!

what a GREAT momma's day gift! i just bought me a drill/screwdriver (battery operated). i had one before but 'lost' it .. and had some projects i wanted to do here that required one. i do have some wonderful olde wire fencing to do such things with. i have a 'magazine' holder that is made from old fencing (BOUGHT IT). but it looks fairly easy to make. it 'hangs' on the wall. i have my 'freedom valley' and maryjane and mercantile gatherings magazines in it!

oh .. i also got a 'similar' candle holder from IKEA. i have a friend in new york who does not have electricity in her DINING room and she uses candles in there and has one of these over her dining table. (i put mine on our back porch). wouldn't these also be cute hanging from a tree? xo
