While this might not suit everyones' tastes, this project still serves as inspiration for using your creative DIY skills and making something mundane into something beautiful for your home. (It's also a great way to enforce green living.) This chandelier was made from recycled Chiquita Banana cartons collected during the designer's years at college.

The Chiquita Chandelier from Anneke Jakobs is made solely out of recycled cardboard. To make your own, you can contact Anneke, who will reputedly share the PDF plans to make one yourself if you simply inquire!
