Today in specialized stores you can buy a chandelier of any configuration and design. The price range is also huge. But creative natures do not look for easy ways: someone is engaged in the decoration of antique or out of fashion products, someone makes lighting fixtures from scratch and then decorates them with various materials and objects. This article contains interesting ideas for decorating lighting fixtures.
Using colors, you can radically change the appearance of a classic chandelier, harmoniously fit it into any interior. Before you begin the creative process, you need to prepare the necessary materials and tools for work.
Among them:
primer (acrylic or intended for metal objects);
acrylic paints of the right colors in spray cans;
pearlescent sprays, metallic and fluorescent colors as an alternative to electric lighting;
colorless acrylic varnish. The composition protects the surface from external influences, betrays shine, makes colors more saturated;
surface degreasing agent;
masking tape and other protective materials;
tools for removing and parsing chandelier elements;
protective accessories (respirator, gloves).
Preparation for painting
We cover the workplace with protective materials; turn out the bulbs, remove from the chandelier extra elements that we will not work with; we will protect fixed parts with masking tape;
clean the chandelier from dust and other impurities, dry it;
degrease the surface of the lighting device.
The process of creating decor with paints
We process surfaces using an aerosol primer. Shake the can before starting work and start spraying the primer from top to bottom at a distance of 20 cm from the chandelier.
For high-quality uniform coloring 2-3 layers are required. Each layer should dry well.
A freshly painted chandelier can be additionally protected and the color made more expressive by using a layer of acrylic varnish. The composition will dry in 2 hours.
After complete drying, the chandelier elements protected by masking tape can be released, the bulbs screwed in and the previously removed parts attached.
Decoupage
We paint over the elements of the chandelier that require updating with white acrylic paint. We take the necessary napkin for decoupage, remove the 2 lower layers and begin to stick on the parts that require decor with a brush.For work, you can take PVA glue and dilute it with water or buy glue for decoupage.
After complete drying, apply a layer of varnish for decoupage on top, leave to dry. A gypsum outlet can be attached to the top of the chandelier using a special mixture.
Wood decor
Wood is a natural material that is pleasant to work with, and wooden products create a warm, homely atmosphere in the room. Original decor for lighting fixtures can be done using cuts, twigs, wooden household items, etc.
Saw cuts
A floor lamp made of wood cuts perfectly complements the interior of a country house or city apartment, furnished with eco-friendly wooden furniture.
Materials and tools;
a fragment of a tree trunk - 40 cm;
LED Strip Light;
cellulose varnish;
power adapter;
electric wires;
saw;
grinding mechanism;
drill / drill (castellated, sheet);
glue.
We will prepare 10 wooden circles 2 cm thick each. We drill holes in 8 wooden blanks. In the remaining 2, we will only make indentations.
Grind the surface of the circles. Coat the inner surface of the holes with wood glue. We cover the mugs with varnish in several layers, make them matte.
Let's proceed to the collection of the lamp: put the mugs on the tube and glue the structure. We draw an LED strip through the tube and connect it to the adapter.
Sprigs
A chandelier decorated with branches of natural wood can flaunt in the bedroom or living room, creating a unique style and homeliness.
As a natural material, dried flexible branches of different tree species are suitable.
Materials and tools:
dry branches;
shape (rubber ball);
spray paint;
varnish;
wood glue;
chain for attaching the chandelier to the ceiling;
film;
double-sided tape;
secateurs.
We will clean the branches and make 20 cm each of them. Wrap the ball with film and install it on the working space, securing it with tape.We decorate the ball with branches, connecting them with glue, dry. We change the position of the ball, again we fix and glue the branches, bypassing the top through which we will install the cartridge and twist the bulb, dry.
We remove the ball, which served to bring the design of the shape of the ball. After everything dries, you can start painting or varnishing the future chandelier.
We insert a cartridge and an energy-saving light bulb (to avoid overheating), we hang a chandelier on a chain.
Using wooden hangers
With the help of wooden hangers you can make a chandelier of complex shape for interior decoration in an eco-style.
Materials and Tools
wooden hangers - 50 pcs.;
steel wire;
drill.
We make a lampshade, consisting of 2 bases - rings of different diameters from steel wire. At the ends of the hangers we drill holes for the further bonding process.
We connect the hangers with a ring of a smaller diameter: we pass the wire through the holes made. Hangers designed for fastening with a large ring are placed symmetrically. We pass the wire from the opposite end.
If you make holes at an angle of the same degree, hangers can be hung with an overlap. Such a lampshade can be left "in a tree" or painted.
Plastic
Each house has plastic bottles of different colors. They can be used to create an exclusive chandelier.
Materials and tools:
spray paint;
metal rings of different diameters - 2 pcs.;
Newspapers
wire;
scissors;
gloves.
Cut the bottle into 2 parts. We cut the upper and lower halves into strips 1 cm wide, these are blanks for future flowers. Strip petals bend in a circle.
We cover the working surface with newspapers and proceed to dye the flowers: spray onto plastic paint blanks. Sushim.
Next, we turn to the manufacture of the chandelier: we take a small hoop, we pass the wire into the neck of the bottle, wrap the frame around it, fix the flowers.We arrange the flowers as tightly as possible to each other. We do the same with a large hoop. We connect the hoops with wire: we take 3 segments, measure the distance between the frames, cut the wire taking into account the winding.
We wrap the wire around one frame, unbend it, and wrap its other end around hoop No. 2.
On the arc of the hoop, note 1/3 of the circumference, wrap the second length of wire.
We measure another 1/3 and connect the hoops with the third segment.
Leaves of plastic bottles on the ceiling
From plastic bottles of different colors, you can create an original chandelier decor in the form of leaves, for example, birch.
Cut plastic bottles into small fragments and make leaves out of them. To make the leaves look more neat and natural, we will fuse them with a soldering iron along the contours (an instrument with a thick sting and a bevel on one side will do).
Using the edge of the sting we create veins on each leaf. Next, we heat the thick needle and make holes at the bases of the leaves. This is for mounting.
We make twigs: string the leaves on a wire of small diameter, then wind them onto a base of steel wire.
From disposable spoons
For the kitchen or living room, you can create an original chandelier from disposable plastic spoons. Such an unexpected chandelier is economical, provides a good level of lighting, creates fantasy projections on surrounding surfaces and objects.
Materials and tools:
5 liter plastic bottle;
plastic spoons - 150-170 pcs.;
energy saving light bulb;
cartridge;
copper wire;
knife / scissors;

We proceed to the decoration process. To do this, you only need the deep parts of the spoons, cut off the handles.Glue the spoons around the base row by row in a staggered overlap from bottom to top.
From above we make a horizontal row that will crown the chandelier. Inside the plafond we install a cartridge and a cork.
Music Chandelier
Old CD-ROMs can be used to decorate home lighting fixtures: lamps, shades, chandeliers.
The shiny surface of the CD, including the entire spectrum of colors, will make the glow of the chandelier even more
strong and effective. A small chandelier made of music discs in the form of a lantern can be hung to illuminate the corridor.
Materials and tools:
rounded wooden boards thinner and thicker - 2 pcs. The diameter of the boards more than CD;
racks made of wood or metal;
magnetic switch;
fluorescent light bulb;
wheels.
We make a hole in the thick board, mount the starter + switch, connect to the lamp. We string the discs onto the lamp. We install racks around the disks, cover the structure with the upper plank.
By paper
A creative lamp with marine motifs can be made using the “Coral Inspiration” workshop as a basis.
Materials and tools:
colored paper;
colored yarn;
PVA glue;
fishing line;
scissors;
paper clips;
compass;
LED lamp;
electrical accessories.
On paper of the selected color, draw semicircles of different diameters. The width of the blanks is 1 cm. We cut them out, and then cut them into segments from 2 to 5 cm long. Next, we roll the segments in the form of cones and glue each separately, and then several pieces together and so on until a ball is formed.
Decorate the wire with colored yarn, then make a holder. We install a lamp inside and connect it to a wire.
Origami
In the origami technique, you can create a sconce lamp, which is suitable for zone lighting of a bedroom, a nursery and any other room.
Having picked up a suitable origami scheme, you can quickly make an exclusive lamp. For example, you can take as a basis a scheme according to which a sheet of paper will become voluminous and will have a pattern in the form of rhombuses with fold lines in the center.
Let's roll the blank into a tube, we get a spherical shape. Glue the free ends and hang them on the cartridge.
Butterflies
A chandelier decorated with delicate silhouettes of paper butterflies can be a good option for lighting a nursery.
As a basis, you can use an old chandelier or any other round-shaped frame. First, make paper butterflies. To do this, print the template you like and cut out insect figures of the same or different sizes. It is better to choose high-density paper.
We fix the butterflies on a nylon thread or on a fishing line. There are 2 ways to attach: pierce butterflies or plant on silicone glue.
We will hang the threads with butterflies on the frame and decorate the composition.
You can also take a ball of wire as a basis and “plant” butterflies on its surface with a glue gun.
The chandelier can be left in white or painted in any other.
Other methods - cupcake muffins, cotton pads and others
As a decor for a ceiling lamp, paper molds for cupcakes of different sizes and colors are perfect.
Materials and tools:
paper molds - 120 pcs.;
Chinese paper lantern;
plate;
glue;
electrical accessories.
We will install a paper flashlight and glue the largest shapes on the top of the lamp in a circle, so glue 3/4 of the area of the flashlight, then, turn it over and proceed to the bottom.
Next, we glue small ones into large molds. Leave to dry, then connect the wire with the LED lamp.
A similar lampshade can be used for a table lamp or sconce. For extra shine, crystals or large beads can be attached to the mold core.
Using the same technology, a lamp made of cotton pads is created. The accessory resembles a fluffy dandelion.This lamp can be hung in any room to update the familiar interior.
Here, instead of molds, you will need cotton pads folded diagonally in the form of the English letter "V". The tips of the workpieces can be fixed with a stapler or white thread.
You can also decorate paper lanterns with New Year's decor: snowflakes and frosty paper patterns, snow flakes made of cotton, and other improvised materials.
the cloth
The basis of the chandelier with a fabric lampshade will be an old light fixture or any metal frame.
If a light weightless fabric was used to sew the lampshade, the bottom of the product must be made heavier to avoid losing shape. To help the master cardboard, fishing line, braid or fringe.
Next, we will make a pattern of fabric according to the size of the frame. The length can be arbitrary, and the width of the fabric is equal to the diameter of the lampshade.
Sew the upper fabric part directly on the frame. You can also place the frame in a fabric lampshade. In this case, we bend, then sew and iron the top edge of the pattern, and on the side we make a seam by machine. It is convenient to use a lamp with a fabric lampshade as a desktop lighting device or as a floor lamp.
Beaded
The main purpose of the bead decor is to update the old lighting device. To decorate the alteration chandelier, you will need the following materials and tools:
object for transformation;
beads;
glue gun;
sandpaper.
First, put in order the old chandelier: remove the peeling paint and apply a new one. Then, we proceed to the design of the light bulbs-candles: we lower the beads on a long thread, apply silicone glue on the legs of the candles and wrap them tightly with threads with beads. Set the decorated candles in their place. The chandelier will look like new.
Thread
A ceiling chandelier created from threads will fill the living space with coziness and soft, dim light. Such an unobtrusive lighting device can be hung in the bedroom, living room, nursery or in the kitchen.Depending on the style of the surrounding interior, the threads can be bright colors or calm pastel shades.
Materials and tools:
high-density threads (wool, cotton fibers, tow) - 1 m;
balloons - 2 pcs.;
cartridge;
light bulb;
PVA glue;
petroleum jelly;
brush;
marker.
Inflate the ball to the desired volume. We mark with a marker the upper and lower boundaries of the location of the threads. We take a brush and smear the ball with Vaseline. We wrap the ball with threads, focusing on the markup. During winding, we process the threads with glue. The light output level of the product will depend on the density of the winding. Leave to dry, then, the ball can burst and pull out. In the upper part we cut out a place for installing a cartridge. Check the reliability and elasticity of the lamp by blowing a ball inside it.
Further, the ceiling can be painted and / or supplemented with decorations.
Lace cover
An elegant ceiling made of antique lace is suitable for a light interior in the Provence style, and can also decorate the porch of a country house. Using lace to create a lighting fixture, we give them a new life in a new, more relevant incarnation.
Materials and tools:
lace or a fragment thereof;
balloon;
PVA glue;
brush;
electrical accessories.
From lace we cut out circles of different diameters. We inflate the ball, spread it with a thin layer of glue and begin to apply lace elements with an overlap. We will think over the beautiful shape of the lace that will frame the light bulb. Upon completion of the process, let the product dry for a day. We burst the ball, make a hole for the installation of an electron cartridge.
The power of such a lamp should be minimal in order to avoid overheating of the lampshade; for more pronounced outlines and highlights on the walls.
From glass jars and bottles
The creation of such a lighting source will require the designer to be perseverant, patient and have skills in working with different tools.Such a chandelier can decorate a kitchen or a bar.
Materials and tools:
glassware;
cartridges;
light bulbs;
the wire;
frame;
rim;
sandpaper;
glass cutter.
We take alternately bottles and cans, at the bottom of each item draw straight lines with a glass cutter, cut off the bottoms, grind the sharp edges. Through the necks of cans and bottles, we conduct electrical wiring inside, install cartridges. We fix objects on the surface of the rim in random order. Dark green wine bottles combined with lighter cans will look most impressive.
From cutlery
Cupronickel and metal cutlery: spoons, forks and even knives can be used not only for their intended purpose, but also to create a unique author's product - a suspended multilevel or single-level chandelier. This is ideal for a kitchen or restaurant.
Devices can be hung around a light source. A durable wire, metal or wood hoops, and bicycle wheels are suitable as a frame. The latter option is good for the presence of ready-made holes.
In the manufacture of chandeliers with several levels, in addition to devices, you can use rows of cups, cookers, etc.
The main rule in the manufacture of such a product is the reliable fastening of all structural elements.
Conclusion
These and other ideas for creating and decorating chandeliers, fixtures can be brought to life by showing patience, applying imagination and cutting out some free time for immersion in the applied creative process.
