DIY West Elm & CB2 Dupes | High End Decor on a Budget
I found some really cute home decor pieces online from West Elm and CB2 that I thought I could easily DIY myself for a lot less. I purchased a lot of the materials for the project from the dollar store and some of the materials I was able to up-cycle from other products that I already had. I was able to recreate the modern end table from West Elm using the inner cardboard tubes from gift wrapping paper and other materials I found for cheap at the home improvement store. I recreated the CB2 candle holder using only materials from the dollar store. Keep scrolling to find out how I created these looks.
CB2 Candle Holder Dupe
Materials: (I purchased all of the materials for this project from the dollar store)
- 2 Plunger tops
- 4 Marble Styled Bowls
- 2 Small Plastic Storage Tins
- 1 Long Flameless Pillar Candle
- 1 Chunky Flameless Pillar Candle (Not Pictured)
- Gold and White Spray Paint (I already had this in my craft stash)
Directions:
- Completely spray-paint the plunger tops white.
- Spray paint the top half of the plastic storage tin gold. (You may need to use some sand paper to rough up the texture for the spray-paint to adhere better)
- Flip one of the marble bowls face down and adhere the gold spray painted plastic storage tin top to the bowl.
- Then layer and adhere the second marble bowl facing upwards to the top of the gold top.
- Cut a hole in the middle of the plunger top. Only one plunger top needs to have a hole. (I found it easier to use a utility knife to create the hole).
- Place and adhere the plunger top inside of the top marble bowl.
- Then, add flameless pillar candles inside the top.
West Elm End Table Dupe
Materials:
- Wood Circle Table Top
- 19 Cardboard/ Paper Tubes (I saved the cardboard tubes from gift wrap paper)
- White Paint & Primer In One Paint (Not Pictured)
- Utility Knife (Not Pictured)
- Tape Measure (Not Pictured)
- Pencil (Not Pictured)
- One 8" Form Tube (Not Pictured)
- E6000 and Hot Glue Gun (Not Pictured)
Directions:
- Measure and cut the tube form and cardboard tubes to about 17 or 18 inches long.(The length depends on your desired end table height)
- Paint the wood circle top and all the cardboard/ paper tubes with at least three coats of white paint with primer.
- Adhere the cardboard/ paper tubes to the tube form. Completely adhere the cardboard tube forms around the tube form base.
- Add the painted circle wood top to complete the end table.
And that's it! I hope you love these high end dupes and decide to try it too!

Only negative I can say is you should have caulked the joints between the cardboard tubes. The gaps are not as noticeable.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Who would have thought you could create something beautiful out of toilet plungers?! You are amazingly creative 🙀
I guess I didn’t understand but why did you need the plunger top again? It would’ve worked without the plunger top if your not using pillar….?
