DIY Chandelier Made Out Of Paper

You’ll need a whole bunch of paint swatches in your desired colours (seriously, emphasis on the whole bunch part). I picked a variety of blush, pink and red hues so I could get a fancy ombre look to my chandelier but I can only imagine how many different looks you could go for with your own chandelier. Using a scalloped paper punch you’ll need to punch about 40 -60 swatches into little medallions. Keep the medallions divided by colours in little saucers or cups like below. I bought my lamp shade (my chandelier base) from Lowes for about 5 bucks. Using an Exacto knife and super sharp metal scissors I carefully cut apart the fabric lamp shade, peeling away the pieces until the metal parts were as exposed as possible. When picking out a lamp shade I tried to pick out one where the bottom diameter is much smaller than the top. This will make your layers of paint swatch medallions hang better and thus look much better when the final product is done. Lay out your paint medallions, coloured side down, in the desired order. Tape down a long piece of coloured thread along the middle of the backs of each medallion. Then using a piece of tape, cut down the center width wise, tape together the edges where one medallion meets the next. Without this final piece of tape, the medallions with rotate on their piece of thread, thus showing the bar codes, text and colour names usually located on the backs of the paint swatches. If that doesn’t bother you then this step isn’t necessary! Repeat this step until all of your chandelier strands are strung and taped together. Flip your lamp shade upside down and fasten it somewhere where it can hang freely (I tied mine to the latch that opens and closes our air vent in our ceiling). Start stringing on your strands along the perimeter of the bottom of the chandelier until the entire metal base is covered. Then start stringing strands along the widest ‘top’ of your chandelier so that the lowest part of your strand hits the mid point of the bottom layer. Continue this all the way around until the entire chandelier is covered. Add a ribbon to the metal pieces (where the light bulb would pop in) and voila! You’re ready to hang this beauty!

How to create a miracle with their own hands?

It’s very simple
Required Material:

  • Soda (the one used for washing)
  • Water
  • Toothbrush
  • Saucepan

– And leaves themselves (Try to choose Kripen’ka rovnenkie and, if you are building them in the summer and autumn. A spring collect whole leaves, it does not matter that ugly. Nature helped us a bit, and such leaves will be easier to handle).

The procedure is as follows:

  • Prepare a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate.
  • Then immerse our leaves into the prepared solution and boil 40 minutes to 1.5 hours. To accelerate this operation, I use a pressure cooker (cooking time is reduced to 20-40 minutes).
  • Wash the leaves, fill with plain water and cook for another 20-30 minutes in a pressure cooker or 40-60 minutes in a conventional pan (I want to note that cooking time may vary. It depends on the hardness of leaves. After cooking you should turn brownish-black leaves).

Obtain from one leaf saucepan and gently scraping the flesh toothbrush. If the flesh can not be, this leaf boil for some time, and until it is cooked, get another leaf

If, during operation, you tore a little leaf, do not throw it, finish cleaning until the end, rinse and lay on the table so that the gap was not visible. After drying, you will not see a flaw.

So, well washed leaf and get here such skeletons. It can be ironed or put in the book.

So act and followed by leaves.

When they are dry, they can be dyed. (I use spray paint)

Leaves can whiten with chlorinated funds.  Be very careful!

By the way, do not pour the liquid remaining on the leaves (the one in which the cooked leaves  without  soda) If you do it a little bit evaporate receive excellent ink – Sepia. I do not know how much they are persistent and will be suitable for calligraphy, but for aging paper ideal

Thus, the leaves dry. Getting painting.

I use spray paint with chrome effect. In my arsenal gold, silver and holographic.

With silver and gold colors After drying, I got here such leaves
Silver Gold Part I painted the leaves in two colors (medium leaf)

And one more piece to paint over fragmentary.

In works such leaves look very interesting

Plastic bottle butterfly wall art

Required Material:
-PET bottle (without convex patterns)
-a picture with a butterfly
-nail clippers
-permanent marker medium thickness
-3-5 shades of nail polish
-nail polish with glitter
– super glue Take 1.5-2 liter plastic bottle (I use the middle part of the usual bottles of water). Cut off her smooth middle part of the neck and the bottom. We get a sort of a sheet of transparent plastic. There is a picture butterfly shape that you would like to translate. For a start is better to take pictures with clear lines and no small parts, for the first time use patterns – they are easier to translate than the photos, though and can immediately begin with the complex images. They can be found in magazines, I printed out from the Internet and gently draw out the contours of the drawing. To do this, I usually use a thin black permanent marker. Today decided to try out the new – he was stout and blue, but that’s okay because these contours disappear under layers of varnish. The plastic should stay your whole future butterfly with all the lines, streaks on the wings.

Now you can cut off the plastic part of the butterfly from the rest of the web, as it prevents and twists.
Then proceed to the coloring. We select varnishes (3-4-5 different) that blend harmoniously to the color scheme, in which you want to see your butterfly.

Gently colorable place between veins on the wings, do not forget about symmetry.
Impose 2-3 coats depending on the consistency of the nail, giving each layer to dry thoroughly.

Impose 2-3 coats depending on the consistency of the nail, giving each layer to dry thoroughly. Finally, you can do embellishment. All black lines plot the silver or gold glitter (brush should be very thin – in such nail brush drawing on nails). That’s all – our butterfly is ready. Another work

To make it convenient to work in the cells draw a diagonal, as shown in the photo. Take the needle and thread in tissue tone, and at the cell diagonally fasten the first puff. Stitches tacks do five – six times. Secure all puffs for this series. The next series begin to fix on the side where you’ve finished the first row whip. Follow the scheme.

It remains to handle the upper section of the curtains. Take special braid for processing top curtains. Put them to the wrong side of each other. Pre-need to hem curtains and braid 1 cm. Sew their machine stitching. Lay the second parallel line is strictly for lace center. Line lay on the front side. The ends of the thread carefully hide. Run the same parallel line on the edge of the tape. Gently pull the fabric by hand. Contractible four strands to braid. Puffs acquire a very different kind.
