Elsa Frozen Chandelier

Want to give your kids’ light fixture a little ‘FROZEN’ touch? Why not give them an Elsa Frozen Chandelier?! It’s super easy, budget-friendly and really adds to the whole feel of their room.

For those of you that remember, Wonder Woman recently got her Frozen Inspired Bedroom Makeover. She loves it! One thing that a few of you have asked me, though, is HOW to make the Elsa Frozen Chandelier that’s hanging from her light fixture. Seriously, it is So. Dang. Easy!

Elsa Frozen Chandelier / by www.BusyMomsHelper.com #Frozen #Elsa #DIY

Supplies Needed

  • 1″ Wide, flat Ribbon (I used silver)
  • Paper for snowflake/star shapes (blues, whites, silvers)
  • Tape
  • Sparkly ‘ice’ decor for dangles, if desired
  • Hanging ribbon (just simple, thin ribbon works)
  • Twist-tie (like used on bread)

Directions

First, take that wide, flat ribbon and cut it into 3 long pieces. About as long as you’ll want the main part of your Chandelier. Tape one end off, then braid the rest.

Secure the other end with tape, as well, to secure the braid. This will basically be the ‘skeleton’ of the chandelier.

Cut out lots of half-star and half-snowflake shapes. Lots of pointy triangles works! Just imagine those ice crystals on Elsa’s Chandelier in the movie in her ice castle. I used my trusty Silhouette Cameo to do my shapes, which made it really nice!

Now, if you see it in the movie, the chandelier is smaller on top, works it’s way thicker in the middle/almost bottom, then points thin at the very bottom. So I started in the middle. Just take a shape and tape it to the ‘skeleton’. I put the tape on the bottom, so it would almost ‘hold’ the shape upright so it sticks out nicely.

Add more shapes. I tried to keep it symmetrical, but in the end it was mostly random but still looked just fabulous!

Elsa Frozen Chandelier / by www.BusyMomsHelper.com #Frozen #Elsa #DIY

Keep adding shapes! In the thicker parts, I taped shapes onto the outside ends of the ribbon-taped shapes. This helped add pointy-ness to it, made it thicker, and really gave it the ‘full of snowflakes and ice crystals’ look.

Elsa Frozen Chandelier / by www.BusyMomsHelper.com #Frozen #Elsa #DIY

For the dangly ‘ice’ at the bottom of my chandelier, I got this bulky decor piece. Then I just cut off a small chunk from the end to use on the bottom of my light decor.

Elsa Frozen Chandelier / by www.BusyMomsHelper.com #Frozen #Elsa #DIY

Here’s the piece I cut off:

Elsa Frozen Chandelier / by www.BusyMomsHelper.com #Frozen #Elsa #DIY

I just attached it right to the bottom of the ribbon-braid skeleton. This way, it hung lower and the taped-end didn’t stick out. It hid nicely under the ‘ice’ crystals!

Elsa Frozen Chandelier / by www.BusyMomsHelper.com #Frozen #Elsa #DIY

Now, the current light fixture is UGLY! Seriously…totally ‘standard’ light. Since I don’t have it in the budget to replace that at the moment, I just hung my chandelier straight from it. I took some simple, thin ribbon and tied it securely around. I made sure it doesn’t come close at all to the light bulbs, to be safe.

Elsa Frozen Chandelier / by www.BusyMomsHelper.com #Frozen #Elsa #DIY

Then I took a twist-tie (like you use to tie off the ends of bread loaf bags?) and fastened it to the top end of the chandelier. This then was attached to the ribbon under the light fixture, and VIOLA! It hung quite well!

Elsa Frozen Chandelier / by www.BusyMomsHelper.com #Frozen #Elsa #DIY

This is one of my (many) favorite parts of the Frozen Inspired Bedroom and it was so dang easy! PLUS I was able to get the ribbon AND sparkly attachments at the after-holiday clearance at Walmart. SCORE!

Elsa Frozen Chandelier / by www.BusyMomsHelper.com #Frozen #Elsa #DIY

This Elsa Frozen Chandelier is MUCH cuter to look up at from her bed than just the boring light fixture. LOVE IT!

Craft Room Grand Reveal

February 16, 2016 by Kelly Dedeaux

Craft Room Grand Reveal / by www.BusyMom's Helper #craftroom #roommakeover #remodel

I’m FINALLY done!!! It’s taken weeks (possibly months, depending on what you consider the ‘start’) for the remodel of my craft room, but I’m finally ready to share it with you all. I wanted it to be MY space, the one room that I could do however I wanted, escape to and just create by and for myself. Success!!! Without further ado…my Craft Room Grand Reveal!

Fair warning: LOTS of photos ahead! But I just HAVE to show this off, since it’s taken so much time, effort and just down-right will-power to get this thing done. I wanted my craft room to be ORGANIZED, BRIGHT, and ME (although I’m technically not organized, but that’s we can pretend)!

Here’s what the room looked like before the overhaul:

Craft Room Grand Reveal / by www.BusyMom's Helper #craftroom #roommakeover #remodel

  • Mismatched furniture that I got from yard sales
  • Ugly tannish/off-white paint color on the walls AND ceiling
  • Dry erase board sticking out like a sore thumb with no border
  • Boring plain windows needing some lovin’
  • Piles, piles and MORE piles of random crafting supplies, fabric, projects, random wood pieces and other odds and ends ALL OVER

Yup, that needed to be fixed. Like ASAP! My amazingly-wonderful-totally-awesome Hubby gave me the green light, and to work I went! To start, I had to drag EVERYTHING but some furniture out of the room, down the stairs, and pile it up in the garage. Needless to say….EXHAUSTING! Then….to painting!

For my colors, I knew I wanted something fun and BRIGHT. It’s a craft room, after all, so colorful-but-not-too-crazy. I chose white ceilings and Pebble Grey walls. I brought the ceiling line down a bit, then put a stripe of my accent color, Boysenberry Blast, between the grey and white. For my other colors, I stuck with some light pink, light blue, greens and yellows. Like I said, FUN yet BRIGHT.

I decided to just keep 3 of my random yard-sale found furniture: 2 dressers and the corner armoire thing. Since the corner one is a big part of my craft room, I painted over the black with the Boysenberry Blast. It was a bit TOO much accent, so I then made the panels white. The dressers I did the pink and blue. Add some new, matching knobs and they were set to go!

I also framed in the dry erase board so it had a nice, clean border. The green was very bright, but I ended up really liking it!

I have to give a HUGE shout-out to my dad, here. While I was working on everything, he made the long trip here to Texas from Utah to bring the remainder of our stuff we had left during the move. Along with our stuff, he brought his NAIL GUN to help me finish up some of these things…like the framing on the dry erase board. It was so quick and simple, he was such a lifesaver! THANKS DAD! It also helped a ton adding the trim to the craft table we made ourselves:

Craft Room Grand Reveal / by www.BusyMom's Helper #craftroom #roommakeover #remodel

I’ll be doing a tutorial soon on how to make your own craft table, so stay tuned for that! I nabbed 2 cheap bookshelves from walmart to stick under the ends of the table, for some extra storage.

Love how organized most of my ribbon is now! I do still have a whole drawer-full (I may have slight ribbon addiction), but at least these are easily accessible!

Craft Room Grand Reveal / by www.BusyMom's Helper #craftroom #roommakeover #remodel

I also got an Expedit shelf from IKEA for under my windows. Good storage shelf, seat and bench for reaching my curtains!

Craft Room Grand Reveal / by www.BusyMom's Helper #craftroom #roommakeover #remodel

If you’re curious about my curtains, I did a tutorial on How to Make Curtains: Or Not! Learn how to make them the right way…and how to fix some if you happen to make a big oops like I did!

Another fun file organizer, nabbed from IKEA (ya, LOVE that store)!

Craft Room Grand Reveal / by www.BusyMom's Helper #craftroom #roommakeover #remodel

The corner shelves are a fun decor aspect to the room, plus a great place to put some jars! Notice the button-filled jar? Ya, Hubby still can’t understand why I have so many….but that’s ok!

I picked up these wonderful organizing trays and peg board items from The Container Store. Handy for holding many of my frequently-used things.

Craft Room Grand Reveal / by www.BusyMom's Helper #craftroom #roommakeover #remodel

For inside the big corner armoire, I decided to put all my sewing supplies in there:

LOVE how easy it is to find things, now! Including my well-organized Simplicity patterns….they’re fabulous!

Then it was just a matter of adding some pops of color and decor…one of the most fun parts of remodeling a room, if you ask me!

Since I’m attending SNAP! Conference in just a FEW DAYS (eeeeek, can’t wait!), I plan on finding a bit more decor to fill up some empty spots…like this very large wall that’s just begging for some cute stuff!

Craft Room Grand Reveal / by www.BusyMom's Helper #craftroom #roommakeover #remodel

I’m just SOOOO in love with my new craft room, and have been really enjoying my time in there now that it feels so clean, organized, bright and BEAUTIFUL!
