Many of us have our own private houses, dachas, garden houses or "hacienda". If the dacha is located near the city, some families even move there for the whole summer, and if they have a warm, heated house, they spend a lot of time in the winter. Life in nature is wonderful, no doubt about it, but you still want some of the benefits of civilization, like running water. Often there is no central city water supply at the dacha, and a well is used as a source of water. The depth of the well is usually much greater than the depth of soil freezing (for the Moscow region up to 1.5 meters).

Tools and materials required for work
To create a chandelier, the author of the homemade product will use plastic disposable spoons. The frame of the structure will be plastic bottle from under the water. If you don’t have one at home, you don’t have to purchase a full container. You can only buy one bottle. To make a chandelier you will also need:
- stationery knife;
- wire cutters;
- glue gun;
- cartridge;
- bulb.
Manufacturing process
The first thing you need to do is cut off the bottom of the bottle.
Next stage- this is the preparation of plastic spoons. Using wire cutters, separate the holder (handle). This part cutlery will not take part in the manufacture of the chandelier. The number of spoons needed will depend on the bottle. At 5 liter bottle approximately 200 cutlery will be required. When everything is prepared, you can begin the creation process itself. original chandelier.
We take a plastic blank from a spoon and glue it to the bottle using a silicone stick. And so around the bottle.
We make the next row with an offset. So that the center of the spoon is between the other two of the previous row. When all the rows are completed, all that remains is to close the neck of the bottle. Here you will need to place the spoons not in a vertical position, but horizontally. The result should be a kind of “wreath”
When the lampshade is ready, all that remains is to install the socket in it and connect the wire to the power supply.
Due to the fact that the entire structure is plastic, the author recommends installing an energy-saving or diode light bulb. Otherwise, if an incandescent lamp is used, especially high power, the structure will deteriorate (start to melt).
If desired, you can use spoons of a different color or combine several colors at once.
Happy crafting everyone!
