1 Supply 3 Projects: Wood Veneer - Part 3

We're wrapping up this 3-part series with a ridiculously easy veneer pendant!

Be sure to check out parts 1 and 2!

Materials:  12" Threaded Metal Rod, 2 Washers, 2 End Caps, Hole Punch, String, 14 - 15" Veneer Strips

You can find the metal rods and washers/end caps at the hardware store.  These rods are about $1 a piece, so you can easily and cheaply make lots of these for a big impact.

Directions:  Punch a hole just large enough for the rods in each end of each veneer strip.

On the end of the rod, place the washer, all the veneer strips, and the end cap.

Spread the strips out evenly around the rod.

At the opposite end of the rod, place the other washer, the opposite end of each of the veneer strips, and the other end cap.  The most outside strip on the first end should be the most inside strip on this end.  In other words, the last one on on the first end should be the first one on on this end.  Make sense?  I think so. Just wrap a string between the end cap and the strips and hang.

See, uber easy!  You can make a bunch of these super quickly.  Make 'em in various lengths and circumferences by varying the length of the rod and the length of the strips relative to the rod.  You could spray paint one side of the strips and have a little peak of color from the inside.  I imagine these looking super cool on patio or pergola with some twinkle lights.  Or a cluster of them hanging in the corner of a room.  How would you use them?
