Elevate your space with a unique DIY pendant light. By combining the natural beauty of wood with the brilliance of LED lights and the protective power of epoxy resin, you can create a truly one-of-a-kind lighting fixture.

Materials Needed:

• A slice of tree trunk or large branch
• LED strip lights
• Clear epoxy resin
• Colored epoxy resin (optional)
• Drill
• Jigsaw or bandsaw
• Sandpaper
• Light hanging post
• LED to AC outlet device
• Circular piece of wood
• Wood glue
• Paintbrush

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Wood Slice:
   • Choose a well-dried slice of wood with interesting grain patterns.
   • Use a jigsaw or bandsaw to carefully cut a slim section out of the wood, following the natural rings. This will create a channel for the LED strip lights.
   • Drill a hole through the wood to allow the wires from the LED strips to pass through.
2. Install the LED Strip Lights:
   • Cut the LED strip lights to the desired length.
   • Place the LED strips into the channel, ensuring they are securely positioned.
   • Feed the excess wire through the drilled hole.
3. Apply Clear Epoxy Resin:
   • Mix the clear epoxy resin according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
   • Carefully pour the epoxy resin into the channel, covering the LED strips completely.
   • Allow the epoxy to cure fully.
4. Add Color (Optional):
   • Once the clear epoxy has cured, you can add color to the epoxy.
   • Mix the desired color of epoxy resin and apply it over the clear epoxy.
   • Allow the colored epoxy to cure.
5. Attach the Hanging Post:
   • Glue the circular piece of wood to the top of the wood slice, hiding the LED to AC outlet device underneath.
   • Attach the light hanging post to the circular piece of wood.
6. Hang Your Pendant Light:
   • Hang the pendant light from your ceiling using the light hanging post.
   • Plug in the LED to AC outlet device to illuminate your stunning creation.

Tips:

• For a more polished look, sand the edges of the wood slice before applying the epoxy resin.
• Experiment with different colors of epoxy resin to create unique effects.
• Consider adding additional elements to your pendant light, such as dried flowers or metal accents.

By following these steps, you can create a beautiful and functional DIY epoxy LED pendant light that will add a touch of natural elegance to your home.
