I teamed up with a great group of ladies for FOUR rounds of knock off knock out projects.  You can see my projects here.  I was thrilled when Ashley from Bigger Than the Three of Us contacted us all again for another round of inspired projects. 

This month’s home decor INSPIRATION store is Anthropologie and I can not wait to share how to create an inspired 30 minute DIY Geometric Pendant Lamp with you!
 

Who isn’t in love with everything Anthropologie?  If I had a million dollars that would be one of my first shopping stops.  When I saw their Small Iron Web Pendant Lamp, my DIY heart stopped beating for a moment.  I knew this would be a great inspiration piece and I knew without a doubt I could beat the $398 price tag!

If you were to buy the supplies for this project, it would be a little under $10.  I however, already owned every single thing so I actually made this for FREE.

What supplies do I need to make a DIY Geometric Pendant Lamp?

Light Socket Cord
Wooden Skewers
Hot Glue
Rustoleum Gold Metal Spray Paint

How do I make my own Geometric Pendant Lamp?

Although, this project looks intricate, it was really as easy as could be.  I started by trying to see main basic shapes in my inspiration lamp.  Then, using the wooden skewers, I created four different main shapes.  Each corner was secured with hot glue.

Once the four shapes had been created, I started glueing them together.  I glued three of them at their top vertices so as to create a place to hang on the light socket.

After those shapes were glued, I simply added a few more wooden skewers to create additional interest.  This step really is a personal preference for your desired look.

After the wooden skewers were dry, it was time to add a few light coats of spray paint.  I wanted a slight brassy gold color, so I used my  Gold Metal Spray Paint.

I could not be more pleased with how this Geometric Pendant Lamp that I made all by myself turned out.

  3. I love this, just gorgeous and the price tag too. Found you Create and share party. We are currently building our new dream home so will have to give this a try. Thank you.

      Thanks, girl!

    1. delineateyourdwelling says:

      Oh, I bet you could create the most minimalist-awesome geometric lamp… all black, super cool. =)

  4. Ha! I knew this DIY was yours….It has YOU written all over it. I love it! I like that it is not so uniform and that you made it for FREE. Go you!

    1. delineateyourdwelling says:

      I love FREE, ha! Thanks, Jessica – you really are too kind!

  5. Love it Amy! I can’t believe it is made from wooden skewers, I thought it was metal when I first looked at it, shows what good spray paint can achieve. Well done!

    1. delineateyourdwelling says:

      Oh Gilly, you are too kind! I thought about doing a hemmili type shape but decided skewers would be WAY easier. I’m so glad I went the easy route… 30 min. max!

  6. WOW! Wooden skewers? I never would have thought! You took something I thought had to be a complicated & difficult project and turned it into something totally accessible! The best kind of DIY – wonderful job Amy!

    1. delineateyourdwelling says:

      Such kind words, Brynne! This comes from the lady who wrapped a vanity in jute. I bow down.

  7. Amy, this is such a great knockoff and I love the color of yours even more. Not to mention it only took 30 minutes to make. LOVE it!

    1. delineateyourdwelling says:

      Thanks so much, Katie! Easy 30 minute projects are always a good thing, ha.

  8. WOW! This is INCREDIBLE Amy!!! I cannot believe how well it turned out! Beautiful!

    1. delineateyourdwelling says:

      Thanks so much, Kristi!!

  9. I’ve been sitting on a himmeli/geometric project for far too long, just seeing how yours turned out makes me want to get in there and finish it up. Interestingly enough I used skewers as our ‘mock up’ version. Never thought to use them in the final piece!! Great work, love your little office corner!

    1. delineateyourdwelling says:

      I definitely thought about using the himmeli technique for this but decided I wanted it less symmetrical and more random… so the wooden skewers won out and it made it so so easy!

    1. delineateyourdwelling says:

      Thanks Christine! I love how easy this project was and so unique, too!

    1. delineateyourdwelling says:

      Thanks, Ashley! The skewers made this SUCH an easy project. Can’t wait to hop over to yours!!

        Where did you get the light bulb? Love this!
