I am eager to get home (on a red-eye flight tonight) and back to some projects and normal life. I have a patio project going on that should be nearing completion this week.  Once finished, I am excited to start adding features — like a beautiful garden chandelier. I have lots of great, inexpensive, DIY options that I have rounded up for your inspiration and my own.  My personal favorite for my particular project is the beaded dollar store option, what is yours?

Here’s a simple DIY garden chandelier tutorial from Ecologue. It’s a great way to reuse little glass jars you may already have at home.

The full tutorial for this basket variety is at sunset magazine.

This outdoor chandelier was made from beads found at the dollar store and the full directions can be found at dollar store crafts.

It’s just a simple pot rack….but stylishly mixed candles and succulents create quite a pretty scene. From Erin Ever After via rue de vamp.

Clothespin chandelier — while there is no instructions for this one, I think an infinite number of designs could be generated from just playing with the idea.   Found at Apartment Therapy.

And finally, this branch fixture seems easy enough to recreate and would be perfect over a garden table. From Remodelista.
