How to Build Antler Chandeliers

Antler chandeliers are quite cool, and very trendy at the moment, however, they are also quite expensive if you buy them from a décor store. However, the good news is that you can actually make your own antler chandeliers, if you are willing to take the time. First off, you need to get your hands on some antlers, don't you? The good news here is that if you have been worried that deer are hurt by removing antlers, you can rest assured that they are not. In fact, deer naturally shed antlers during the winter, so you can actually find them in wooded areas where deer live. Hunting stores and some small town outlets also sell antlers, although you can't be completely sure where they come from!You will need to buy a chandeli er kit, which you can get from most hardware stores, and you will need to wash the antlers with soap and water and let them dry. Then, simply drill holes through the antlers, use wire to attach them to each other, and fit the electrical equipment. A fantastically easy, and eye catching addition to your home.
