Chandelier with their own hands: photo master-class

Cardboard chandelier

It's amazing how some people manage to see the beautiful in everyday life.

To create an incredible lamp shade we will need:

1. Several cardboard boxes;
2. Scissors;
3. Adhesive;
4. Roulette;
5. A set for a chandelier or an apparatus from an old lamp.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. First, determine the future size - the maximum and minimum width of the ball.
2. After fusing each side of the box, respectively, on the rings, it is important that there are no rings of the same diameter - do it in increments of 0.5 to 1 cm.
3. Cut the rings. It is better to do this with a sharp clerical knife, so as not to crush the edges.
4. We collect on the glue the ball, alternating the rings from different sides, so that the transition is as smooth as possible.
5. We fix the lampshade on the mechanism of the chandelier and enjoy our work!

There may be painting between the fourth and fifth points if the natural color of the cardboard does not suit you or you want to get a more durable product. To do this, it is better to use the paint in the can - it maximally paint the hard-to-reach places without damaging the structure.

Chandelier from a rope

It is enough to make a gentle plafond from a clothesline.

For this you need:

1. Actually a rope, 10 m, and better thicker.
2. Thick glue PVA and glue for decoupage.
3. Wooden strap.
4. White paint in aerosol.
5. Scotch.
6. Basis of a round plafond.
7. Inflatable ball or ball for beach volleyball.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. In a wooden strip with an even groove, we lay a rope with a beautiful wave-like shape and cover it well with PVA glue. Leave for a day or until completely dry.
2. We glue an inflatable ball or ball with adhesive tape or a paint tape( so that the rope does not move during operation).
3. Carefully remove the dried wavy rope from the groove of the plank and apply it evenly on the ball to a smooth spiral. In the process, we thickly glue each turn with glue for decoupage, so that the shape is securely fixed.
4. The dried hemisphere is separated from the base and carefully painted with aerosol. White color is optional - you can choose the one that suits you more.
5. We fix the lampshade based on the plafond and we can connect the new chandelier

Romantic fabric chandelier

An unusual fabric decorative lamp will create an atmosphere of lightness and romance.

For such an original chandelier are useful:

1. Cloth-cut fabric, lace or braid.
2. Lattice from the refrigerator. Christmas tree garland( here one-color).
3. Extension cord with cord in the tone of the interior.
4. Threads, needles.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. In a chaotic order we hang different strips of fabric on the grill and fix it with a thread.
2. The edges of the shelf are wrapped around a strip of fabric so that the metal can not be seen.
3. We lower the garland inside.
4. We hang the structure on chains, ropes or pigtails from the same strips of fabric, turn the garland into an outlet and enjoy the romantic and gentle look of the lampshade.

New Year chandelier

In principle, this structure can be called a pendant decoration rather than a chandelier, but this is probably a matter of taste. Sometimes you can find articles where such is called the original Christmas tree. To solve to you, but in any case the design looks rather effectively, and is done in two counts.

You will need:

1. Piece of plywood or plexiglas 50x50 cm.
2. Flax or any other rough rope.
3. Stapler.
4. Christmas balls in any color.
5. Glass pendants from an old chandelier.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. A square of plywood or plexiglass will form the basis for the entire construction. Chaotic drill in it the maximum even number of holes with a step of 5 cm
2. Bracket from wire or crochet pass the rope in one hole and remove from the next. The ends are cut at a distance of 2 m. Do so with all the holes.
3. The base is fixed on the ceiling in such a way that the threads hang down.
4. We attach Christmas balls and glass pendants to the ropes at different heights so that they form an upwardly directed cone.

In addition to creating such an installation, it is possible to decorate an existing chandelier in the New Year's style by simply hanging cones, balls and other ornaments on thin ribbons on its elements.

It's not difficult to create a unique chandelier or lamp yourself. We need only ideas and a little inspiration, and the material will suit anyone, even the most unexpected one. And then you can easily transform an old thing or even make it from a papier-mache a real masterpiece of design art.
