This is how to turn a few wire frame flower baskets into a cool glowing chandelier. For this DIY project, you’ll need two wire frame baskets, (or four for a more complicated chandelier), pipe cleaners, and Christms lights. This tutorial will explain how to do a chandelier with four, because when you know how to do it with four, doing it with two will be a piece of cake.
Start by placing the baskets next to each other down with the round side up. Keep the chain parts of the baskets out of the way, and wrap a pipe cleaner around both of the baskets in the middle to tie them together.
Step 2: Take the third basket, place it down in the same way as the other baskets, and pull the hook and chains up through the middle. Place the basket on top of the other two that you connected previously, right in the middle of the two. The third basket should be touching the circles at the top of the baskets. Tie wire around the four places where the third basket meets the edges of those circles.
Step 3: Turn the whole thing over. The first two baskets should now be facing up. Place the fourth basket on top, then use the hook and chains to hang it up.

To make it with two baskets, simply put one basket on top of the other and tie the wires around them to connect them at the appropriate spots. You can spray paint it if you like after you’re done, and then wrap Christmas lights around it to make it glow.
