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!

I made this, but used just one vase on each, attached lower on the wood. I used E6000 glue and I attached picture hanger hardware with screws. I distressed the wood by using lighter chalk paint and a sponge so that it would complement a wall hanging I already have. Instead of candles I used eucalyptus branches and some smaller flowers I had. Sorry, the picture is a bit dark.
