Leftover wool and yarn—who doesn’t have some? You might not have quite enough for your next project, or it might not be the right color, but it’s such a shame to throw them away. Luckily, there are lots of fun projects where you can use up your leftover wool and yarn—like this chandelier. Isn’t it just awesome?! Read on to find out how to make this chandelier out of your leftover wool!
Do you also have a lot of leftover wool and no idea what to do with it? Then start an awesome scrap project! You can use small scraps to make a Blanket or create pom-poms to brighten things up. But how cool would it be to make a big project out of lots of little scraps?
This chandelier is the result of lots of colorful scraps of wool and yarn. It just goes to show that scraps aren’t just “scraps” after all—they’re actually very valuable for your next project! Make the chandelier entirely in your own style. Combine bright colors or use beautiful pastel shades. A fun strand of glitter yarn gives it extra sparkle!
Psst: Even if you don't have any scraps left over, this is a super fun project!
What you'll need:
- Clover pompom maker, 45 mm, 65 mm, 85 mm
- Scraps of colored yarn, such as Acrylic, Cotton, or Wool
- 1 x metal ring, 45 cm
- 1 x metal ring, 25 cm
- 1 x wooden bead, 35 mm
Pattern for a chandelier made from leftover wool:
Slip both metal rings onto the hook with single crochets. Try not to let the row twist around the ring.
Make 13 large pom-poms, 13 medium pom-poms, and 13 small pom-poms.
Cut 13 strands, each 55 cm long. Button these strands to the largest ring, spacing the buttons evenly along the length of each strand.
Now thread the pom-poms onto the double strands, from largest to smallest.
Pull the remaining lengths of the threads through the smallest ring and tie them together about 25 cm above the ring.
Slide the wooden bead over your button.
Finally, cut 140 cm lengths of yarn and pull a strand through each stitch of the large ring.
Gather the threads together and tie a knot around them.
Button another piece of string around it a little lower down.
And ta-daaa, your chandelier is ready!
