Look who's back with another West Elm knockoff. Does it seem like I'm a little obsessed with the store? Maybe a little. I love their modern edge, bright colors, and super fun accessories. I've seen these spheres around the web and some more versions in home decor stores. This calls for a (drumroll)...DIY! dun dun dun dun!
Here are the ones from West Elm.
To make my sphere I bought two 6 inch embroidery hoops. There are two pieces to each hoop so I had four pieces total.
I took them apart and put them inside one another until they looked like this.
To keep them together, I matched up the metals parts and screwed them together.
I gave them a coat of red paint for contrast. I was going to stain them brown but figured I already had a lot of dark wood. The red pops off the console and looks good next to the blue lamp.
The red looks a little washed out in this picture but doesn't look that way in person. weird
