use acrylic rods... preferably clear ones... use hot air gun or flame torch to bend it... then make minor cuttings along de sides or use sand paper to sand de sides to give a frosted surface... n lastly use bright LED to shine at de ends....

same concept as the "Angle Eye"...

note : this is not an easy DIY as u need plenty of skills to bend de acrylic rod with heat...

today just go to acrylic shop and ssaw those tubing...actually it's a bit soft..not like the acrylic sheet...so even and hair dryer can help to bend it effectively
