One of the main conditions for the proper design of the home is well-chosen lighting. Indeed, in spite of a smart repair, a nondescript or, on the contrary, too pompous lamp can spoil the whole impression of an apartment. A win-win option will be unique home-made chandeliers. You can make chandeliers with your own hands from any materials, the main thing is desire. Such lamps will appeal to all guests and inhabitants of your home, and they will give comfort to the room and bring the warmth of the home atmosphere.
But many people sometimes think: is it worth it to make chandeliers with your own hands? Chandeliers are a fairly common product, a wide range of which can be found in many specialized stores. Therefore, home-made lamps are a great option for those people who are looking for a cheap and exclusive way of lighting for their apartment.
You can make a chandelier with your own hands from such waste material as unnecessary plastic bottles. And she will look as if she had just come out of the hands of a skilled glassblower. It is rather difficult to distinguish such a plastic lamp from its glass ally at first glance. However, first things first.
If you think about what kind of chandelier decor you can make from plastic bottles, the first thing that comes to mind is flowers. And the optimal shape for the future lamp is a ball. In addition to the bottles, we need a frame from the old chandelier. If it is not there - it does not matter, from wooden slats and wire you can easily build a simple mount on which a flower ball will be held. What else is worth considering when making such a chandelier with your own hands? Chandeliers are designed to protect the eyes from bright light, therefore, they should be quite voluminous and completely cover the lamps. This means that a lot of plastic bottles will be needed. It is better if they are colored (for example, from milk or other drinks), then you do not have to paint them.
First you need to cut the bottles into flowers. This is done simply: the container is cut into two parts. The top, the one with the neck, is cut into the petals. You can curl the petals a little inside, and instead of an empty neck, you can come up with an interesting core - buttons, colored corks and more. Next, the flowers should be strung on iron rods (about two per rod from each end). Now you need to collect the ball. To do this, you need to connect crosswise, gently bandaging the middle with a wire in tone. It remains only to assemble the chandelier with your own hands. Chandeliers made from plastic bottles can be attached to the old frame using paper clips, buttons or wire. Now the light shade should be attached to the ceiling. This can be done with decorative screws or buttons. The easiest way to attach is double-sided tape.
So, using, by and large, unnecessary material, you can easily and quickly make an original lamp for the kitchen or summer cottage.
