Add the element of fire to your decor with a stunning, handcrafted candle sconce. In this video, you'll learn how to construct a basic pine sconce and then create a copper reflector that spreads the warmth of candlelight all over the room. Add a coat of milk paint (a pioneer favourite) and you've got an heirloom for your descendents to fight over.
