Coral Sconces


I am totally in love with these coral sconces. Pop a white battery candle in and just admire their beauty. So, my creative self said "I could make these".


and I could make them out of manzanita branches. I'll spray paint the branches a coral red. Then I'll need a base for the candle to sit in. Maybe a large tuna can will do. I'll spray it coral red and then drill out a hole for the screw to secure it to the wall. I think I have a plan. All I need is some free time. Can anyone lend me a few?

Now, what was I saying in the previous post about not having any time with school, work, homework, studying, wash, cleaning, etc. Well, you get the picture. Sleep, maybe I don't need it????? Oh, yeah, I need it. I just remembered, napping is my favorite past time.

Blessings,

    Great idea. I think you could do it easily with a can of spray paint and simple pre-made fixtures.

    Pretty cool! And if you can make them yourself, even better.
