A college friend of mine, Megan, showed me this chandelier planter that she created and I absolutely loved it. She gave me permission to share her work of art with you and was kind enough to write out how she did it. I’ll turn it over to her now.
I used an old brass chandelier that was laying around our basement. I had my husband remove the electrical wiring and elements. Then I glued a terra cotta saucer and pot to each other, and on each of the chandelier’s arms. I used Elmer’s Pro-Bond Advanced Glue. It’s supposed to work on any material, and it worked for my terra-cotta to metal combo! I hung the chandelier when dry and painted with a paint/primer combo (Valspar Tropical Oasis). I finished mine with a clear enamel spray paint because I had some left over from another project, but I think a specific sealant spray would have been better. Super easy! I only had to pay for the pots, which are pretty cheap at Lowe’s, and a can of spray paint!
There you have it folks! An easy, cost-effective way to add a little DIY charm to your home.

That is so cute! I absolutely LOVE it!
Okay now that is CUTE! What a creative idea! I am seriously going to make this!
These are so cute and creative. We are in the process of moving and these would look great on our new porch! I can’t wait to make some.
Wow that is so creative, I love it. She picked a great color too. It works so well with those flowers.
What a cool idea for repurposing a chandelier! This project sounds quite easy too . . . perfect for me!! 😀
What a cute idea. I love it.
How perfect! I love this adorable DIY.
I LOVE this. What a beautiful and creative idea. Now, I ‘ve just got to find somewhere this will fit – we don’t have anywhere to hang it here, but I’m sure that won’t stop me.
That is adorable!! That would look great by our back door, hmmmm…. Might have to try it!!!
what a beautiful chandelier planter! I suspect my 8 Year old would love coming up with her rendition of this. Thanks for sharing 🙂
What a cute idea and way more fun than a hanging basket. Now I need to find s chandelier to use!
What an adorable idea! My mother in law would love it. She love plants (I like to look at them LOL)
I love it. I’m not that crafty but I wish I was. It seems so simple.
How absolutely wonderful! Now.. I need to hit the goodwill store for an old chandelier!
