Thanks for your response over our new DIY sconces last week!
** Update – tutorial has been removed due to an issue with the supplier – I cannot recommend ordering parts through this company, so the source has been deleted **
When you’re building a light you want to make sure that it is wired correctly and all the safety precautions have been made – so if you are unsure, be sure to contact an electrician. First and foremost, always make sure the power is off by flipping the breaker on the main electrical box – double check!
Each light took us about 30 minutes to make – I love the fact that no modification or painting was involved! The brass back plate did have a discoloration – so we sanded with a fine synthetic sanding pad (made for metal) wiped clean and then sealed all of the brass with a clear paste wax – we SC Johnson Paste Wax from Home Depot.
For about $70 each, we have our own wall sconces!! LOVE them! 🙂
Have a great week friends! 🙂
Wow! First time here, love that sconce! Amazing job, bravo 😉
Bravo! These are amazing. Just beautiful. Your talent and ingenuity always astounds!
Love these!!
Just fabulous!!
these are SO amazing, sarah! you are fabulous!
Love these Sarah! Found you via Instagram.
Awesome! This is why yours is my favourite blog to follow.
Amazing, as always! Your patience just to even figure that out is to be commended!
I would buy those from you. They are fantastic my friend.
Adorable! Great job!
Once again mind glowingly good. I'd love to have one in my bathroom and I'm angry now that I bought something stupid at the store.
These are incredible, Sarah!!!!!! (Is that enough exclamation points to get my excitement across?) LOVE these!
So beautiful!
Sarah- any chance you would consider making 2 more of these to sell? Electricity scares me but these are EXACTLY what I've been looking for!
Love this for my living room, but I'm too afraid to commit to having them hardwired. What changes in parts would be needed for these to be plug in sconces?
Thanks bess! You could have the same parts – drill a hole on the bottom of the back plate – add a grommet and run the wire out the bottom
Hey Sarah, really gorgeous lights! Love them. I was going to make a pair to flank my mirror for the bathroom. I would need an 80w capable light though. Is it possible to alter the light to make this possible (ie buy a different piece that makes it 80w capable?). thanks! Brooke
Would you consider putting the tutorial back without the part numbers or links? I'm still interested in trying to build these, but don't know what any of the parts are called!
Hi Sarah!
I've been looking everywhere for clear glass globe covers for a couple sconces we are working on. Can you tell me where you found yours?
Thanks!

I was just about to order the parts to make these for my bathroom remodel but I see you have removed the tutorial, is there any way you can include a list of the part names still? Please
I would love a tutorial on these with a new supplier? Is that possible? They're so beautiful!
yes, a parts list (sans supplier) would be much appreciated! Thank you!
I second this request to put up the tutorial again! I absolutely love these lights! If you won't put up the tutorial, would you consider sending it privately?
Omword this just saved my sanity! Any chance you may put the parts needed or tutorial back up without the supplier? I am *dying*!! And maybe a bit dramatic ��
Hi! These are perfect! Would you consider contacting me with the tutorial!? Thank you!
