Two DIY Natural Chandeliers.
By ChrisjobAs if by synchronicity, two back-to-back Instructables offer how-tos for creating large scale chandeliers using natural elements.
The first, The Castaway, employs vines and twigs and lamp/cord kit for a more controlled look:

DIY Whimsical Chandelier.
By ChrisjobThe Flirty Guide offers this cool, multipart tutorial for making a custom, playful chandelier. Paint, beads, wire, shades...it's a whole heap of processes towards a fun, one of a kind piece. Thrift store magic.
Licorice Chandelier
By DIY MavenActually, the maker, ZNP Creative, calls it a Spaghetti Chandelier, but it looks more like licorice to me. (Maybe I just have Halloween on my mind.) The ‘spaghetti’ is red-coated, electrical wire that is draped over a white, powder-coated metal frame. The draping of the wire is left to the user, making the chandelier’s appearance change as you see fit. Perfect for Count Dracula's castle, circa 2008. Via.

How to Make a Plastic Bottle Chandelier–for 20 Bucks
By DIY Maven
I find this plastic bottle chandelier interesting, in an inelegant yet cheeky yet environmentally friendly kind of way. And for 20 bucks, why not give it a try?
All you need:
- a strand of icicle-style Christmas lights with 100 bulbs
- a leather bracelet a-la 90's rocker style (although my suggestion would be a couple of white zip ties)
- 2 ceiling hooks, like they use for hanging plants
- 10 1-liter plastic soda or juice bottles
- an X-acto knife or a very s » READ MORE
Teacup chandelier
By lesley
More lighting made from recycled materials. Madeleine Boulesteix uses all sorts of old kitchenware to create her lighting.
She says "I've never used a pastry cutter for pastry or a toast rack for toast but they seem nice jaunty objects with more potential, so I liberate them from their domestic duties by incorporating them in my chandeliers."
What's so clever is that she takes these old bits and pieces and turns them into something » READ MORE

Check out Mio Culture’s bendy Bendant Lamp. It’s a ‘flat-packed chandelier composed of a series of leaf-like shades surrounding a central fixture.’ Users become co-designers as they can bend the flaps up or down to create an variety of ‘unique light and shadow arrangements.’ The 30" L by 33" W lamp is available in silver, white and chartreuse, and at $165 bucks it’s not terribly expensive.
