17. Floating Hoop Ghost Chandelier

17

Make a grand statement in your dining room or entryway with a floating hoop ghost chandelier. This DIY masterpiece is constructed using a lightweight hula hoop or wooden quilting hoop painted black. From the hoop, you suspend multiple small, delicate cheesecloth ghosts at varying lengths using invisible thread. In the center of the hoop, you can hang a cluster of flickering LED taper candles or a vintage-style lantern.

Decorate the hoop itself with faux black eucalyptus leaves, weeping willow branches, and cascading artificial moss to give it an overgrown, abandoned look. When hung above a dining table, the heat from the food and the movement of guests creates gentle air currents that cause the miniature ghosts to slowly orbit around the central light source, creating a mesmerizing, dynamic centerpiece for your Halloween feast.
