How to Make a Floating Chandelier

With just a few inexpensive supplies found at craft supply and hardware stores, you can make an attractive floating chandelier that will add mood lighting to any room in the house. This chandelier would look spectacular floating over a master bathroom Jacuzzi tub and would add atmosphere to a powder room. By gluing on sprigs of artificial greenery and some red velvet bows, the floating chandelier would bring holiday cheer to a festive buffet table.
