DIY chandelier

One of my favorite things in the whole world is thrifting. Our North Chicago neighborhood is filled to the brim with second-hand stores full of abandoned treasures just waiting to be adopted.

Yesterday was rainy and curl-up-inside-with-a-project cold, so I decided to embark on a journey to make a DIY chandelier for our lighting-deprived kitchen. Rich and I hit the local Sal-val to find materials and went to work. The end result was pretty rad.... 








Materials You'll Need:

Old bike wheel that was sitting in our garage ($0)
Drill (to drill holes in the silverware)
Silverware assortment ($7)
Thin wire (20mm) from local home improvement store ($3)
Lamp Kit ($8)
Twine ($1.50)

There you have it! Less than $20 for an awesome industrial chic chandelier.
