# Recycled Toy Lighting DIY Doll Chandeliers By Cecilia Biemann | Published 2008-09-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-dolls-chandeliers-recycled-toys References: [apartmenttherapy](http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/lighting/look-doll-chandelier--063820) Uncovered in Portland, Utah and New York, these [quirky chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-harry-nuriev) made out of [recycled dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll) could be the perfect [DIY project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-crystal-floral-kits) for making good use of that doll collection you've outgrown. The photo, which shows one of these unusual creations in a pink girl's bedroom, actually makes the concept look quite endearing - in a kitschy kind of way. Too many beady little eyes staring down at me for my liking! I can easily see how this design could creep out some innocent little misses in the hazy darkness of the night. Still, they may carve out their niche with fashion loving adolescents who can put their own dolly dress-up spin on them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Recycled Doll Creations:** Opportunity for creative individuals to repurpose dolls into unique and quirky products. - **DIY Home Decor:** Growing trend of individuals customizing their living spaces with unique and personalized creations. - **Upcycled Lighting Fixtures:** Increasing interest in eco-friendly lighting solutions made from repurposed materials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Craft and DIY:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for craft stores and online DIY platforms to offer tutorials, supplies, and inspiration for creating recycled doll chandeliers. - **Home Décor:** Opportunities for home decor retailers to cater to the demand for unique and unconventional lighting fixtures like recycled doll chandeliers. - **Eco-friendly Design:** Potential for eco-friendly design companies to explore the use of repurposed materials in lighting fixtures and promote sustainable choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jewel-Inspired Chandelier Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-chandelier.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Recycled Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zbozhzha-pendant-light.md) - [Leather Disc Modern Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Candy-Colored Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-ii.md) - [Doll-Inspired Modern Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder.md) - [Recycled Material Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-cleo-lamp.md)
