Paper Mache Antler Chandelier

Paper Mache Antler Chandelier
Submitted by Aylin Urgun

Estimated Cost to Make the Item: 15$

I used old chandeliers frame. I made wire branches into groups and twist them together for thicker branches than I attached them to body. I wrapped wires with tape first to make stronger than I started paper mache, I find better magazine and brochure paper s than newspaper. I wanted antler look so I shaped that way. when it’s enough thick I finished with napkin to make smooth surface, and last thing I used white oil based paint. I add some crystals from old chandelier to make chic. This is time consuming project you need some helping hands. Thanks to my cousin and dad. This is my first project so it could be better and I hope you like it.
