The Design

By using this design and printing it to my desirable measurments ,about 60cm width and 90cm height, made the template for my chandelier.

Starting

Using my template i cutted out 10 peices of 1.6cm mdf sheet and then carved the inside for the wiring.Then glued the 2 pieces together to make the 5 total branches of the chandelier.
