diy capiz shell chandelier

The other day Maya of Completely Coastal introduced me to this beautiful DIY Capiz Shell Chandelier.  I've admired them from afar but they were always out of my price range.  Now, nothing but my laziness will hold me back.  I will conquer.

The Capiz shell look alikes are actually wax paper and I think they would make amazing wedding decor.  I do love my tissue poofs, but these would be stunning at the altar or hanging above reception tables.

See the full tutorial at Completely Coastal and Freshly Picked!

I have always loved these light fixtures! They are so whimsical and beautiful. They make ever room just that much prettier! Love the post! Thanks for sharing!

BTW I think Blake and Penn were a thing but broke up :) So you're technically still in the loop.

God how gorgeous is that? So whimsical. I think Matt would object to one in our our room (too girly), but maybe for our baby Mila's room! :)
