How to make a Christmas Wreath Chandelier with ducting

1. Prepare the Base

Start by stretching your duct conduit as long as possible.

Secure the wreath base with duct tape to ensure it stays intact

Take a long piece of duct tape and wrap it around the edges of the ducting, securing it tightly.


The key is to ensure that the tape is tightly wrapped so the frame won’t pop open.

Make sure to fill in any gaps by bending the garland strands to fit the shape of the wreath.

Once you’ve covered the wreath base completely, you might notice a few gaps. Simply fill these in with extra greenery or adjust the garland strands to cover them. The goal is to create a full, lush look.
