I saw this amazing capiz shell chandelier in the West Elm catalog. I love capiz shells.
I wouldn’t attempt to make a chandelier but I did make a luminary.

To make faux capiz shells, simply glue or mod podge white tissue paper onto plastic. I used plastic that I had saved from the tops of stationery and toy boxes. Once the mod podge is completely dry, cut out your shapes. Wrap string around the jar and then glue the shells onto the string. I repeated this three times to make three layers of shells. I wrapped wire around the top of the jar in case I decided to hang the luminary.
Add your candle and enjoy.
