🌟 Why Mason Jar Sconces?
Adds a warmth and rusticity to any area
Functional lighting and decorative accents that can be made using repurposed or thrifted materials
Budget-friendly but looks chic
Great gifts or for seasonal decorations
🧰 What You Will Need
For each sconce:
1 mason jar (clear or frosted—plain pint is best)
Twine, jute rope, or metal hose clamp
Wooden board (reclaimed wood or stained pine, 10-14″ tall)
Hanging hook, knob, or wall bracket
LED tea light or fairy lights (battery-operated preferred)
Hanging hardware (sawtooth hanger, screws)
Optional: faux greenery, dried flowers, or pebbles for jar filler
🪚 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Wood Base
Lightly sand the wood if needed.
You may stain or paint the wood—dark walnut, whitewash, or leave it natural for that rustic look.
Make sure it is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
- Attach the Hanging Hardware
A hook, knob, or vintage bracket should be screwed in near the top of the board, and this will hold your jar.
Attach a sawtooth hanger or picture hanger on the back so it’s ready for the wall.
- Prepare the Jar
Option A: Twine-Hanging Method
Twine or jute should be tightly wrapped around the neck of the mason jar a few times.
Make a secure knot, leaving excess for a hanging loop.
Option B: Hose Clamp Mount (More Secure)
Using a small screw, attach a metal hose clamp to the board.
Slide in the jar and tighten it snugly.
- Adding the Glow
Place your LED fairy lights or flickering LED tea light inside the jar.
With the fairy lights, tuck the battery pack either on the back of the board or inside the jar along with your filler.
- Decorate the Inside (Optional)
Dried lavender, eucalyptus, pebbles, pinecones, mini faux succulents…
Make it seasonal: fall leaves, mini ornaments for winter, or pastel florals in spring.
- Hang and Enjoy
Hang your sconce onto the wall and flip the switch.
And instant cozy charm with a little handmade drizzle ✨
