This Beautiful Chandelier Looks Like It"d Be Expensive, But The Reality Is Nuts

Redditor Chryler, a.k.a. Kristian DuPont, just took DIY decor to the next level. Using clear coffee stirs and staples, he made a chandelier that looks like it popped out of an IKEA catalog.

The only thing I’ve done with coffee stirrers lately is… well, stir my coffee. It really makes me think about how I could recycle other materials into gorgeous DIY crafts. If another crafter used recycled stirrers, or biodegradable plastic, it’d be a great eco-friendly project.
