My sister might be one of the craftiest people I’ve ever met, and I’m so tempted to team up with her to recreate this $9 chandelier that I spotted at Freshly Picked. Modeled after the $269 West Elm Capiz Pendant Lamp (but actually looking way cooler), this DIY version was made with a thrifted lampshade, wax paper circles and a sewing machine.
