Make a Fabulous Chandelier Out of Paper Clips

paper clip chandelier

I cannot believe that these chandeliers are made of just paper clips, but they are and they are amazing! Want to know how to make them for that special sanctuary in your home? The supplies can be bought at the Dollar Store and all you need is 3 picture hanging kits ($3) and 6 boxes of paper clips ($6).

I often find myself going to get all of the things I’ll need to get my crafty goodness going, but once I get everything home and out in front of me, I seem to freeze and not know what to do first or have this very deep fear of messing something up horribly. So if you’re like me in that respect, check out the ReDesign Technologies Etsy shop, where you can pick up instructions in PDF form for your choice of chandelier for $6.50.

Or, if you have no intention of making your own chandelier but still want one for your home, you can purchase an already-assembled chandelier from ReDesign Technologies for $227.50.

    These are great! I’d like to see them in colored paper clips. Maybe one all white, shabby chic. :-)

  • Emma says:

    Wow, great idea! And I also like the idea of using white paper clips for creating a shabby chic look, that would go great with the design of my living room. However I will have a look at the instructions since I am pretty bad in doing handycrafts.

  • Gabby says:

    WOW… they all look so beautiful, and to think that its a cheap do-it yourself chandelier made me speechless. I’m going to try one right now! Thanks :)

    OMG those are amazing…..seems like you could get your kids involved in this craft…..and I’d love to see it in red or one of the other paper clip colors.

  • I like it! What an ingenious use of paperclips. I wonder if there’d be a market for the finished product, I’m sure taht even I would be able to make one of these.

  • ChandyT says:

    Wow what a find. The design on these chandeliers is sleek and sophisticated. Would like to see a closeup photo to see how this looks up close. Saw another site that had inks for making different chandeliers though it was about buying mostly bronze chandeliers.
