DIY Sculptural Wood Table Lamp #Shorts #diy #homedecor

When I came across this lamp on Facebook Marketplace, I knew I needed to recreate my own version. So I headed to Lowe's and got a couple pieces of select pine boards and I just got them at varying widths and then I cut them down to perfect squares based off of those widths. Once they were all cut down, I sanded down the edges so they were nice and clean and then used a drill bit to drill down the center of every single piece of wood that we created and I also picked up this light cord kit at Lowe's and you're going to be stringing your wood pieces on almost as beads and then using wood glue and a brad nailer to connect each piece together. Now when you add the brad nails, make sure to add them closer to the center so that they're not popping out on the outside and you're gonna build up your piece to create these very sculptural diamond shapes and wire up the light based off your instructions. Now I used Minwax's oil-based stain in the honey finish, which I thought was perfect for the look that I was going for. I just did two coats of this on the entire lamp and used a paper towel just to wipe off any excess. I also used their polyacrylic in a satin finish and that's how I finished off this lamp. I am so in love with it and it cost me under $80 to create and I'm definitely gonna be making another.
