Make your own wall sconces

This super easy project by The Noshery is one that anyone can do on the super cheap.  I wanted some nice sconces for my guest bath downstairs.  I looked high and low and couldn’t find anything I wanted and  I couldn’t bring myself to spend on the overpriced ones that I did find.

 

 

I grabbed 2 bags of decorative stones, glass tealight candle holders, a pack of glue sticks and some sponge brushes. Then I made my way over to the hardware store and pick up some small 'L' brackets and small picture hangers. I already has some wood at the house and some dark brown paint.

We had a wood board that was 12mm thick and cut 2 pieces of wood 200 x 140mm  and 2 more 100 x 140mm.  I then sanded the rough edges off the wood and painted the front and sides and left them to dry. If you are using SupaWood, you can use Rust-Oleum 2X to spray paint the wood, or use a stain and Woodoc 5 or 10 interior sealer for pine.

Once the paint dried, I nailed the picture hanging hardware to the back, top part of the larger rectangles.

Then hot glued the small bottom piece onto the back. This is to just hold it in place while you secure the 'L' brackets in place.

Lay the sconce down on it’s back and glue the stones onto it, trying to fit them together as tightly as possible. Start from the bottom working up, trying not to go over the sides, but finishing off over the top edge.

Using a hot glue gun, glue the candle holder to the bottom in the centre, add a candle and you're done!
