By re-purposing old plastic bottles, you’re not only saving Mother Nature from further destruction. You’re also creating adorable crafts using plastic soda bottles that you and other people will love.

Easy Crafts Using Soda Bottles # 1: Lamps and Chandeliers http://urbancomfort.typepad.com/urban_nest/2010/08/diy-lighting.html

I know you’re not surprised but the word chandelier might have you saying, “What? Are you kidding me?”

No, I’m not kidding you. And these definitely will be easy to make.

For the chandelier, you just need to gather a LOT of soda bottles. Okay, maybe that’s the hard part.

You are going to need the bottom part, the one that looks like a flower. Cut those flowers, connect them using strings, and attach them to metal rings around a bulb.

You can use the rest of the bottle to make a Cloche on item #2 of this list.
