been round the net: diy sputnik chandelier

This morning I was stalking my favorite blogs and sites and came across this cute DIY Sputnik Chandelier with really easy to follow instructions. I figured I should share when it dawned on me, what is a Sputnik chandelier, why it’s so darn expense and can someone please explain the name — Sputnik, really people – that’s the best we could do?

So I did a little digging and turns out Sputnik means fellow traveler and according to NASA, the Sputnik was the first human-made object put into space by the former Soviet Union in 1957. I know right, shut the front door! 

Who knew we would all get a little history with our DIY Sputnik Chandelier today. All you (online) Sputniks out there interested in a DIY Sputnik Chandelier check out Jenny’s instructions from Little Green Notebook. Below are her inspiration and final project.
