World Market Inspired Candle Sconce
Hey there! Welcome to our second Knock if Off DIY hosted by the lovely Jess from Domicile 37. If you miss you last month’s post, our DIYs were inspired by Kate Spade. You can read about them HERE. This month, we took turn a turn in the style world towards global eclectic with projects inspired by World Market.
I saw this beautiful wood carving at a local gift shop and knew it would be perfect for my project. It’s inspired by a large wood peacock wall sconce that you can you find HERE. The peacock wall sconce is a little pricey at $59.99 so I didn’t feel too bad for spending $16.50 on the floral wood square. It’s just as large as the inspiration piece.
Here’s what you need:
Carved Wood Square (around 12 x 12 inches)
“S” hook
Candle holder
pliers
staple gun
super glue
How to:
Step one: Bend the “s” hook so that one end is straight. Use a hammer to help straighten if necessary.
Step two: Bend the other side until you have a little “v” shape at the end of a hook (see image).
Step 3: Use a staple gun to attach the wire to the back of the wood square. 
Step 4: Super glue the candle holder to the “v” shape part of the hook.
Step 5: Attach a picture hanger to the back or use command strips for a renter friendly way to hang. 
I had the perfect spot to hang mine in our very light and neutral bathroom. 
It warms up the space nicely and has a lovely contrast to the light peach walls.
Scroll down to see the other 8 amazing projects! I’m really excited to read about them after seeing these teaser images. The ladies’ talents never cease to amaze me.
Love this! I was wondering how you got that candle holder on there! You are so talented!
Thank you Jess!! xoxo
Tat carved wood piece was only $16.50?!?! I need like 15 of them for that price!
It came from the Navy Fleet gift shop out here. There are so many cool imported items!
Kathy this is absolutely beautiful! It looks fantastic on your wall and really had that World Market look. Pinning and sharing!
Thank you so much Steph!!
This is a genius project! I love how it warms up your space.
Thanks Monica!! I really like the warmth it adds too.
Your sconce looks lovely in the bathroom, and I’m impressed with your clever attachment method. Lovely!
Thanks Sharon!
Beautiful job & phenomenal price! And you’re right – you found the perfect spot for it!!
Thank you Rachael!!
Looks great and so creative.
Thanks mom! 🙂 I really like doing these “inspired by” challenges. xoxo
Wow, that wood piece really looks like it was made to be a sconce! I have like zero creativity for figuring out how to rig stuff like this up, so color me impressed!
lol Thanks Britt!!
I have been hunting high and low for a couple of weeks now trying to find something like this online. Seriously speaking, you are the only one who knows how to make something like this. It’s incredible and looks way better than the original World Market peacock piece. Well done!! I can’t wait to do my own. YAY!
Wow! Thank you for the kind words. I’m thrilled you found my DIY helpful and what a nice compliment! xoxo
But the peacock one from World market is only 15 bucks but I love yours way better. Where did u buy that wood piece?
I had to go check the price! It sure is a lot less than it used to be. Thanks for the sweet comment! I was living in Japan and found the wood at a gift shop on a military base. Imports were very inexpensive over there!
Yours is nicer looking than the inspiration!
Thanks very much!
