This Attic Find Creeped Me Out

I will be honest. Had I found a weird object hanging in the attic and covered in insulation; I would have assumed the worst. Not “we are going to lose our minds” (as seen in haunted houses). But definitely “I am never touching that again” worst. Imagine discovering something unexpected like an attic Christmas  chandelier up there—it would make the moment even stranger.

This is the reason I loved this story so much.

First, this attic Christmas  Chandelier looked as though it was just a bunch of wires, a lot of fluffy things (fluff), some tinsel and various ornaments. And because we always find a way to view everything as being slightly spooky in attics; a box could look scary. A coat could look as if it has a ghost inside. Even a handmade decoration can look as if one needs to step back from it very slowly.

But then came the memories.

It wasn’t some type of bizarre attic contraption at all. This was a handmade Christmas Chandelier for the attic made from wire clothes hangers. The flat parts were connected via wiring, and the hooks were pointing outwards from the connections. Various ornaments were attached to these hooks. In the middle of the entire thing, was angel hair. And after connecting everything and attaching a hook to hang it from the ceiling; this entire unit was decorated for Christmas.

To me, I think that is absolutely wonderful.

An Attic Handmade Christmas Decoration with Character

You see this is essentially how people created their own holiday decorations using anything available in the home. Wire clothes hanger(s) – old ornament(s) – a little glitter and sparkles and time. This was it!
