UPD:

Cardboard is a versatile material that can be used for many creative projects. This DIY chandelier is a great example of how cardboard can be upcycled into something beautiful and unique. It is a relatively easy project that requires minimal supplies and tools.

To make the chandelier, you will need cardboard, scissors, glue, and some decorative items such as paint, fabric, and beads. First, you will need to cut the cardboard into the desired shape. Once the shape is cut, you can glue the pieces together and then decorate it with the items of your choice. This could include painting it, adding fabric, or adding beads and other decorations.

The chandelier can be hung from the ceiling with a hook or chain. You can also add a light bulb to the center of the chandelier to give it a more unique look. This is a great way to add a stylish touch to any room in your home.

Floating City

Floating City Isn't this beautiful? This is a great cardboard craft project that will not require a lot of cutting on your part. You can use the cardboards (in various sizes) the way they are. Instead of Makedo clips, I think you can use hot glue to connect the boxes.
