Paper Chandelier

     I love the aesthetic of chandeliers.  Unfortunately, in my apartment we can't really hang anything heavy from the ceiling.  My solution was to create a paper chandelier, based on the chandeliers shown in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 movie adaptation of The Shining.

Materials:
*Cardstock in black, white, yellow, and orange
*Scissors
*Pencil
*All purpose adhesive
*Twine

Directions:
*Size the below template to your desired size and print it out.

*Cut out the template pieces.  Trace 8 copies of the main chandelier piece onto black cardstock, 5 copies of each candle type onto white cardstock, 40 copies of the bigger part of the flame onto orange cardstock, and 40 copies of the smaller part of the flame onto yellow cardstock.  Cut everything out.
*Glue the two flame pieces to each of the two sides of each candle.
*Glue each candle to one of the appropriate spaces on the chandelier.  Once all the candles on a segment are glued down, glue another copy of the main chandelier piece over the side with the ends of the candles exposed.
*Once all of the segments are finished, glue them together to form the chandelier.
*Cut off two lengths of twine several inches longer than the diameter of the chandelier.  Glue (or tape) one end of the first length to the inside of the chandelier.  Glue the other end to the inside of the chandelier across the diameter from the first end.
*Glue the ends of the second string again across the diameter from one another, perpendicular to the first segment.
*Tie some twine around the intersection of the two strings and use this length of twine to hang up the chandelier.
