What You’ll Need
- 2 pieces of reclaimed wood
- Half gallon (64 oz.) mason jar

- Votive candle
- 1 glass votive candle holder
- 2 screw hooks

How to Make a Rustic Candle Sconces
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 in 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!
