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! 🙂

Julia Konya says
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.
Brynne Delerson says
These are incredible, Sarah!!!!!! (Is that enough exclamation points to get my excitement across?) LOVE these!
A Designer At Home says
So beautiful!
Shauna Margolis says
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!
bess says
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?
Sarah says
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
Unknown says
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
Paige Beckett says
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!
Shannon Fidero says
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!

Jacqueline Liontas says
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
Danielle Espinosa says
I would love a tutorial on these with a new supplier? Is that possible? They're so beautiful!
Jennykate says
yes, a parts list (sans supplier) would be much appreciated! Thank you!
eyeswideopen says
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?
Pia @HiddenCharm.net says
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 ��
