Chandelier from plastic bottles
It will take:
- thin and thick wire;
- a cartridge and an electric wire;
- plastic bottles;
- round pliers and pliers;
- sharp scissors;
- soldering iron.
The first step is to make the lampshade framefrom the wire. You need to make 1 small ring with spacers and 1 large circle. Then it is necessary to connect the rings with arc-shaped spacers, you can do this with a soldering iron, but if such a job seems too complicated for you, then fasten the junctions of the parts with a thinner wire. Use a round plier to smooth the wire. If desired, you can paint the frame with an aerosol paint or wrap it with a thin string, but this is not necessary. 
The sequence of making chandeliers fromplastic bottles. From the plastic bottle cut the neck and bottom, from the rest of the cut maple leaves. You do not need to stick to the same size. Using a soldering iron, it is necessary to melt the edges and draw veins of the leaves. The connection holes are made with a red-hot gypsy needle or an awl. Next, attach the leaves to the lampshade, for this purpose use a thin wire. To the lower ring, the leaves on the line are suspended in such a way that a cascading cascade is obtained. You can make a chandelier in the living room from the bottoms of plastic bottles. In this case, it is necessary to make a lampshade of 3 rings of different sizes, which are connected with each other using a fishing line. The upper (largest ring) is made with spacers and a small ringlet in the middle (to insert the cartridge). Then attach the middle circle, attach to it a ring of smaller diameter. Nodules are melted with a soldering iron or a cigarette lighter. From plastic bottles cut the bottom (it is best to use a transparent colorless or blue container). You should have beautiful five-petalled flowers, if desired, you can optionally cut each petal. The edges are either melted with a soldering iron, or they heat the sand in a frying pan, then they lower the bottle flower into it, hold it for 1-2 seconds, then take it out. The connecting holes burn in 4 petals out of five. The cloth is connected in staggered order, while the lines of the line between the colors should be from 6 to 10 cm - then the chandelier will turn lace and light. The first and second tiers are made in such a way that they cover the lower ring, but the third (last) can be made in the form of a long suspension. Especially effectively, this chandelier will look in the living room with high ceilings. Back to contents</a>
Chandelier in high-tech style
To fix the rings from the beer cans you need a soldering iron or wire. It will take:
- rings from beer cans;
- pliers;
- a cartridge and an electric cord;
- wire.
You can make a chandelier for you from the usualopener rings from beer cans or canned food. For a lampshade, you will need to make 2 rings of the same diameter from wire (you do not need to connect them together). The upper ring is made with spacers and a circle for the cartridge in the middle. Then everything is very simple: all opener rings are bent in half, some are fixed on the upper circle. Weaving is performed either in a checkerboard pattern, or in the form of strips, which are connected together with a thin wire. The first option is a little more complicated, since each ring must be cut with pliers or metal scissors. Then the cut edge is inserted into 2 adjacent (upper) rings, resulting in weaving in a checkerboard pattern, reminiscent of chain mail. To make strips, you do not need to cut anything, bent opener rings are simply inserted into each other according to the principle of a chain, then the rows are connected using a thin wire (can be replaced with a cord). The lower edge of the chandelier is fixed on the second ring, the cartridge is threaded, the wires are attached to the ceiling, the junction is masked with a bracelet from the same opener rings. With such a chandelier, your living room will acquire a special charm and personality. For a chandelier made of hangers you will need: 
The sequence of manufacturing a wooden chandelier.
- wooden hangers;
- wire;
- drill;
- pliers.
Chandelier in high-tech style from wooden hangersis able to decorate any living room. First of all, you need to make a wire shade from rings of larger and smaller diameter (you can use the finished frame from the old chandelier). At the ends of each hanger you need to drill the holes for fastening. Then tighten the "hangers" with a wire to the upper ring of the shade, move them to the side, and then reattach to the lower circle. Each hanger is attached at an angle, with the following part slightly covering the previous one. If desired, you can paint the "hangers", but this is not necessary, the chandelier looks great without it. Back to contents</a>
Chandelier of rose petals and glass beads
It will take:
- hoop of different diameters - 3 pcs .;
- artificial rose petals;
- glue gun;
- wire;
- metal krimp;
- fishing line.
Lamp of rose petals and bugleslooks very romantic. First of all, it is necessary to make a skeleton of rings from the wooden hoop, they are fastened together with a fishing line (large, medium, small). In the upper ring, wire spacers are inserted and a hole is made for the insertion of the cartridge. It is desirable to paint the shade under the color of the petals. Next, garlands of petals are made. To do this, cut the line, glue (in pairs) with a glue gun petals of roses, between them strung glass beads, at the end of the garland attach a drop-shaped bead. If you want to place beads at a distance from each other, then for fastening use special metal krumpy. So you need to make all the details. Ready garlands are tied to the frame at a distance of 3-5 cm from each other (depending on the diameter of the petals), the ends of the line are hidden under the crimps. It turns out a beautiful three-layer construction with a streaming cascade of beads and petals. Instead of ready-made petals you can use homemade ones, for this purpose fabrics such as silk, satin, chiffon are perfect. The fabric is impregnated with a decoction of starch and simple soap, then the petals are cut, shaped to the desired shape with the help of scissors (held with pressure on the edges of the part) or make grooves heated by metal bulbs (a ball-shaped tool with a handle for making artificial flowers). The veins on the petals are forced through a warmed awl, and it should not be too hot. Making a chandelier with your own hands is an interesting creative process that will help not only to save money, but also to spend time with benefit.
