DIY wall light with bamboo cutting boards
1. Prepare Your Materials
First, gather all the materials you'll need for your DIY wall sconce light.
Head to the Dollar Tree to pick up two bamboo cutting boards, four glass jars, and two napkin holders.
Make sure you also have strong adhesive glue and wall adhesive strips on hand.
2. Attach the Napkin Holders
Take the first napkin holder and apply a generous amount of strong adhesive glue to the two metal bars on its bottom.
Carefully place it in the center of one bamboo cutting board. Repeat this process with the second napkin holder and the second bamboo cutting board.
Allow the glue to set for a few minutes.
3. Secure the Glass Jars
Next, add more strong adhesive glue to the bottoms of your glass jars and the sides of the napkin holder.
Attach one jar on each side of the napkin holders. Ensure they are evenly spaced and securely glued.
Allow everything to dry overnight to ensure the adhesive is fully set.
4. Attach the Wall Adhesive Strips
Once everything is dry, flip the bamboo cutting boards over and attach the wall adhesive strips to the back.
These strips will allow you to mount your new wireless wall sconce to the wall without the need for nails or screws.

5. Add the Finishing Touches
Finally, place a battery-operated candle inside each glass jar. This will give you the look of a candle sconce light without the risk of an open flame.
Now, your homemade light is ready to be hung on the wall!

My fear is that I put this together and the glue lets go or the velcro strips don't hold. Been there, done that. It's too cute to depend on just glue and velcro. I think I'd move the napkin holder down and just use one glass, though. It would also cut down a bit on the weight as well. All in all, one of the better projects I've seen.

Jo I agree that this is a nice project. I too would glue the napkin holder lower and just use one glass with a candle. Adding simple picture hangers on the back would alleviate the need for the hanging strips and be more secure I believe.
