DIY Flower Chandelier with Fabric Flowers and Embroidery Hoops

Cut the Fabric Flowers

I raided my stash of fabric for all the white ones and found some plain and some patterned fabrics. I cut them into roughly 3 inch squares. Then I used a flower die on the squares and proceeded to cut a ton of flowers out. It was not that hard actually, as I used 6-8 pieces at a time. And my little girl wanted to help. I ended up cutting about 300 fabric flowers.

If you have a flower die or die-cutting machine, place your fabric inside the machine and press to cut multiple flowers at once. If cutting by hand, use a flower template and sharp fabric scissors for clean edges.

For a realistic look, cut flowers in different sizes and layer them for depth.

Assemble the Flowers

• Add small beads or pearls to the center for extra detail to felt or cotton fabric.
• Lightly singe the edges with a candle or lighter to prevent fraying to chiffon or tulle.
• You may layer flowers together and attach them with hot glue or a few stitches (optional).

Prepare the Embroidery Hoops

Decide whether you want a single-tier or multi-tier chandelier. If layering multiple hoops:

• Use the largest hoop as the base and smaller hoops above for cascading flowers.
• Wrap the hoops with ribbon or fabric for a polished look.

Cut varying lengths of fishing line or thread to create a floating effect. I took three embroidery hoops all different sizes, painted them white and tied them together. This part of actually the hardest of the entire project.

Attach the Flowers

Sew all the flowers together into one long row with a needle, sewing machine, or glue. Now glue the strand of flowers to the top, middle, and last hoop as you go down. Cut them to the desired length as you go. Continue till the entire chandelier is covered.

Make sure to tie or glue each strand to the embroidery hoop, spacing them evenly.

Assemble and Hang the Chandelier

• Attach 3-4 ribbons or chains to the embroidery hoop and gather them at the top to form a hanging loop.
• Secure the chandelier to a hook, ceiling mount, or event stand.
• If adding LED fairy lights, wrap them around the embroidery hoop or intertwine them with the flowers for a magical glow.
