DIY paper chandelier.

 I've had this chandelier catalogued on my wish list for years.  

It's called the Zettel'z 5 Chandelier and it retails for $1,220.00.

Not only do I think it's really eye catching but it's functional in more ways that one.
It provides light and is also a perfect place to hang love notes, reminders, kids pictures, photos...
just about anything.

Via Casa Sugar.

 I bought this light on Fab.com months ago.  

Kind of serendipitous that I just hung it up AND it came up for sale again just a couple of days ago (a rarity to find something come up for sale twice on Fab.com).

 I decided to try and re-create the look on my own using some wire and clips.

 I picked up this whole spool of wire at Home Depot for just a few bucks.

Then I cut several pieces the same length.

I threaded them through the cage of the fixture making a hook with some wire-cutter-plier thingies.

 Once all the wires were attached I could gauge how long I wanted my wires and gave the spider looking thing a hair cut.  At this step I also bent the wire and shaped each piece.

 I found these Fotoclips at a consignment store for $1.00 per box!

They can also be found on Amazon here.

 Next, I printed a whole bunch of inspiring quotes in several different fonts and attached them to my clips.

I first tried vellum paper but it melted in my printer and jammed it up so I ended up just using plain old printing paper.

 The great thing about this is I can switch them out anytime with almost anything I want to display...

scribbled notes, pictures, photos, etc.

When all said and done it looks like this.  I think I'll probably add a few more wires and notes.

If anything, we'll never be for lack of conversation at the dinner table.
