DIY Disco Ball Chandelier Tutorial

If you are looking for some fun decor in a kid’s room (heck ANY room), be sure to check out the instructions below on how to make a DIY disco ball chandelier.  This fun project is super quick and easy.  Grab your disco balls and get started on one (or more) of these today.

Supplies needed to make your own DIY disco ball chandelier:

• Disco Ball Garland (I used four)
• Embroidery Hoop (I used a 10 inch)
• Silver Metallic Paint
• Kite String
• Scissors

Paint the inner hoop with the silver metallic paint.  Allow to dry completely before continuing.  Now it is just a matter of tying on strands of the disco ball garland.  I just cut off a portion (leaving a long string as shown on the right below).  Then tie it onto the hoop and trim any excess with your scissors.

I wanted a staggered look so I cut the disco ball garland into various lengths from 3 balls to 5.  Tie them at approximately even intervals around the hoop.

Continue all the way around the hoop.  I used all of the four garlands I had except for the one extra ball per strand that you will be left with.  The one extra on the end does not have an open string to tie onto the hoop.  If your strands are not evenly spaced, just push them around the hoop to fix.

Tie on the kite string as shown in the image below.  I tied two strands across the hoop and then gathered them at the top to knot.  The top knot is what I will use to hang the DIY disco ball chandelier by in the room.  I held the entire thing up off of the table while tying this last part to make sure it was going to hang evenly.

Then just slip it over a hook in your ceiling.  This is not heavy at all so there should be no danger of the hook pulling out.

My DIY disco ball chandelier is actually hanging in a corner of my craft room and I love the way the light bounces off of it!
