Ribbon and Mum Chandelier

Select a mix of striped, polka-dot, and solid grosgrain ribbons. Tie a large bow with the ribbons at the top of the chandelier chain, and allow streamers to fall at varying lengths through the fixture. To create the oversize mum ornaments, moisten 4-inch-diameter florist foam balls with water. Don't soak them, or they will drip liquid all over the table. Create a hook at the top of the ball for ribbon hangers by placing florist wire through the center of the ball and securing it at the base. Cut the mums, leaving 1-inch-long stems, and then cover the foam balls completely. Loop ribbons through the hook to hang on the chandelier for a festive and colorful look. As a bonus, this is also a kid-friendly project. The ribbons will last forever. As for the mum ornaments, they'll stay fresh for 7 to 10 days. Mist them frequently to prolong their color.
