Tasha from Designer Trapped created a beautiful DIY version of the West Elm Bentwood Pendant Light—and it looks like a high-end piece.
What’s so cool is that she made it quilting hoops, floral rings, glue, nail gun and a simple pendant light kit.
She carefully layered and curved the wood into that modern bentwood look that West Elm is known for.
The trickiest part is gluing and nailing the wood and forming the shape, but Tasha walks you through exactly how to do it without a bunch of specialty tools.
I love how light and airy it looks, while still making a big design impact.
This is such a great alternative to pricey designer lighting, and it’s flexible too—you could customize the shape or stain it darker for a more dramatic look.
She even links to the exact light kit and wood she used to make sourcing your supplies super easy.
