How to make a crepe paper party chandelier

In this post I am going to share a fun and easy party decorating idea that you can use for all kind of parties.  

I am planning a big birthday for one of my best friends later this summer. I am planning to make a special chandelier for her party.

When I came up with the idea, my Dollar Tree had sold out of their hanging baskets.  Since I need at least four for my new idea, I ordered from the smaller quantity section online and had them shipped free to my store.   This was the second time I had ordered a smaller quantity online and it is a great way to get hard to find items. 

Today I remembered how I used the hanging baskets to make these  crepe paper chandeliers for my daughter's slumber party.  While we went with a rainbow theme, I think these would also be really cute in red, white and blue for any upcoming Memorial Day or 4th of July party.   

(If you are thinking of having a Patriotic Party, you find all of the Dollar Tree Patriotic Party Supplies here.)

My daughter helped me wrap long pieces of crepe paper around the top rim of the hanging basket. 

While the crepe paper is easy to make, there is an easy way to hang it without making holes in your ceiling.  I attached a small command hook on the ceiling and removed it when the party was over.  

It was super simple, and my daughter and her friends loved it.
