DIY Rustic Candle Sconces for Your Room

What You’ll Need

• 2 pieces of reclaimed wood
• Half gallon (64 oz.) mason jar
• 1 roll of natural twine
• 1 ½ cups brown short grain rice, dry
• Votive candle
• 1 glass votive candle holder
• 2 screw hooks
• 2 hanging chains (22-inch each)
• Electrical tape
• Dry rice

Step 1: Tape it Up

Tape each end of one chain to your mason jar. Leave about 4 inches of chain hanging from each side.

Step 2: Wrap the Lip of the Jar

Use your twine to wrap the surrounds of the jar’s lip. Continue until the tape is completely covered.

Tip: Wind it as tightly as possible so the chain stays secure!

Step 3: Cut the Excess Twine

Cut the excess twine, then tuck at the end that is sticking out.

Step 4: Pull on the Chain

Carefully pull on the chain to make sure it’s completely secure.

Step 5: Lay Down One Wood

Lay down one piece of wood on a flat surface. We used a piece of deck wood (cut into two pieces), but any reclaimed wood will work!

Step 6: Screw the Hooks

Screw one of your hooks into the wood, about 1-2 inches from the edge.

Step 7: Pour Dry Rice

Pour dry rice into the mason jar, then add your votive holder and candle.

Step 8: Attach to the Wall

Attach your wood to the wall, then hang the jar on the hook.

Step 9: Do the Second Wall Sconce

Simply repeat steps 1-8 with your other supplies to make your second wall sconce.

Step 10: Light it Up!

Light the candles and enjoy your brand new rustic wall sconces! Candle sconces are a fantastic way to add light to a room, and they also add a unique visual touch.

Isn’t this rustic wall decor super easy and beautiful? Sconces are great projects to illuminate the house. We never get tired of beautiful rustic decor – not only is it cozy and charming, but it’s also totally timeless.

You can position it anywhere setting the mood. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, replace the brown short-grain rice with some pebbles or stones. Make a couple and begin your fall decorating.
