How to make a creative bicycle wheel chandelier
If you need a new chandelier, you can do it yourself. To make the original interior item, you will need an old bicycle wheel and very little time.

Remove all dirt and rust from the wheel.
4. We take a cord with a cartridge
You can use a portable lamp.
5. We make the upper part of the chandelier
Cut a metal tube (the rod for curtains into the bathroom is perfect) into parts measuring about 50 centimeters (the exact size depends on the height of the ceiling).
6. Pull the wire through the wheel
Pull the end of the wire through the wheel hub.
The cartridge should be located close to the hub.
