How to: Make a DIY Wood Veneer Pendant Lamp

by on Aug 13, 2012


This beautiful pendant lamp may look expensive, but it’s incredibly thrifty to make. A roll of 2″ x 8′ veneer wrapped around two 10″ embroidery hoops give it its shape. How, you may ask, does it get its telescoping effect? The upper section of veneer is glued to the outside of one hoop, while the lower section is glued to the inside of the other hoop. Clever. Other things you’ll need to make one include a pendant light kit, a low wattage bulb, cardboard or chip board, a glue gun, scissors, ruler and a pencil. For the entire tutorial, visit Shelterness.
