3 wooden embroidery hoops (12-inch diameter)

Paint the wooden embroidery hoops with mint green acrylic paint. Allow them to dry completely.

Once dry, stack the embroidery hoops to create an open spherical shape that allows light to pass through.

Secure the hoops in place using a hot glue gun, applying glue at the intersecting points to ensure stability.

Take the battery-operated warm white fairy lights and gently thread them through the structure of the stacked hoops. Ensure the lights are evenly distributed.

Secure the battery pack to the top inside of the chandelier using the fishing line or clear thread, making sure it is easily accessible for battery changes.

Use a small hook or appropriate hanging hardware to hang the chandelier in the desired location on your patio.

Insert the necessary AA batteries into the battery pack and switch on the lights to enjoy your new outdoor chandelier.

To personalize this chandelier, consider using different paint colors to match your patio decor. For a more rustic look, use natural wood tones instead of paint. You can also incorporate solar-powered lights for an eco-friendly option. To enhance durability, apply a clear weather-resistant sealant to the painted hoops. For added flair, hang small decorative elements like crystals or beads from the hoops to catch the light and add sparkle.
