11. Leather Strap & Frosted Glass Cylinder Sconce
Concept & Aesthetic Appeal
Equestrian-inspired and effortlessly chic. This design suspends a glass cylinder or hurricane vase from a thick loop of rich cognac leather attached to a brass wall peg.
Materials Needed
- A strip of genuine or faux leather (approx. 2 inches wide by 18 inches long)
- A brass wall peg, knob, or heavy-duty screw anchor
- A cylindrical glass hurricane vase or glass candle holder
- Battery-operated candle or puck light
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Wrap your leather strip securely around the lower middle portion of the glass cylinder vase to form a tight supporting sling, and rivet or glue the overlapping leather ends together.
- Form a hanging loop at the top of the leather strap.
- Secure your decorative brass wall peg or knob firmly into a wall anchor.
- Slip the leather loop over the brass peg so the glass cylinder hangs gracefully against the wall.
- Place your battery-operated candle or puck light inside the glass cylinder.
Styling Tips & Variations
- Variation: Use dark chocolate leather with black hardware for a moody, masculine aesthetic.
- Styling: Stunning when installed in pairs framing a bedroom headboard or hallway mirror.
