Ooo. YOu really have the land for it. I'd like to hang one out of a tree this summer.
I couldn't find directions either. The one made by Michelle Brand of the ends of bottles is apparently made with one of those tools that make plastic price tag holders. (The little plastic "string" with a tab on each end that is used to label clothes) Its probably a lot quicker than tying them together with fishing line which was my thought. I wonder what those things cost?
Be sure to post if you find directions and/or make one.

Naughty me, but you can probably "find" one of those (they're called) swift tag guns laying around a clothing store. I see tools laying around the discount stores all the time. Refills, well, gosh. Do you know anyone that works in retail?

october17 agrees to post your bail right???? Try Ebay!!!!!

original post has more links and one has an interview with Michelle. (In case you are bored thread)

You might get some of the short elastic pieces that have the metal on both ends. Or you might get the heavy fishing line and use heat to burn the end of the pieces into blobs. Test one off the plastic pieces to see if it works for you.
Or you could purchase the crimps in Michaels by the beads and use those.

Would one of those As Seen On TV thingys' work. I think they are called a buttoneer??? They were popular a few years back. Could they be stapled????

Sure, sure I'll bail you out concrete, no problem.

I'm going to try to get one myself. My driveway is lined with trees, those things would look really cool! I think I might try to make something with green plastic bottles. I'm going to run them over with my car to flatten them, like that Atelier stuff. Awesome stuff.

They say they have no lights but they glow or give off light. Wonder what those Russians have in those bottles.

I think if you put some of the pics in paint program you may be able to enlarge and see how they do some of them. Some looks like they have an under base and the bottles glued on and supported by wire/wire rings.

Thanks October, if I ever need bail, I know who to call!

I just saw those plastic ties that you pull through themselves at Dollar tree. They would work quick and be strong, but I don't remember how many for $1. Seems like you could thread them on one of those through holes in the bottlenecks and then tie and you'd have a circle of bottles like spokes. Make several of different sizes and attach togeter and you'd get a chandelier. My favorite was the blue and clear together.

Here is a link that might be useful: St. Petersburg bottle chandeliers

Don't know if this will be of any help.. but I found this website that tells you how to make a bottle chandelier. It's not as fancy as the Russian ones, but at least it gives some idea how they go together.

It says 2 bucks in the web address, but she says it costs about 20 dollars to make

The only thing that I could find was this company that sells the light to make the ones like shown in Russia...

Here is a link that might be useful: Pet Light

The Pet Light link is not working.
