That is so great to know, I had bought a light sconce at a thrift shop just because I loved the look of it even though I knew hooking up electric for it was probably not going to happen anytime soon. Now I have a solution. It's also good to know that is a warm puck light, I don't care for the cool tone. Thank you!

[@donnakern1935]

Oh my gosh Rachel! This is brilliant!!

[@socalmary1]

You are soooo creative Rachel! Love the lights and your tutorial!!! The lights look beautiful!!

OMG!!! This is so clever!! They look absolutely amazing. I love the lighting you chose. They are gorgeous, and look so good where you put them. I am definitely going to do this.

Love this idea.

[@crazy4shuz]

Thank you!

[@Hannicarose]

Thank you so much for sharing this I have wanted some sconces and different places in my home but didn't want to deal with the electrical side.... I would have never thought to do this. 😍 I really love the sconces you chose from Home Depot.

[@crazy4shuz]

Thanks! Those sconces are even prettier in person, the finish looks like I took them off the side of an old barn, it's perfect for our farmhouse style!

[@barbaraoconnor1786]

What a fantastic idea. They look wonderful. Did not know you could get the warm led lights can't wait to order some for my home.

[@crazy4shuz]

I know! I was so pleased when I saw the warm toned ones, it just wouldn't have looked as inviting with cool leds!

[@mpuett10049]

I absolutely love this im for sure going to do this. I also have those almost cement wall so hard to put nails and stuff in. if i do a video on this i will tag your channel in it. tfs☺️

[@GlueGunsRoses]

This is FREAKING AMAZING😍😍😍 Seriously, thank you so much for sharing this!!!! I have some places I wanted to put some sconces but I didn't want wire showing or I didn't want to mess with rewiring the electrical. I'm blown away by this

[@crazy4shuz]

Thank you! I've been trying to find other places that "need" a sconce now lol :)

[@aidedeco]

Amazing! TFS.

[@francymartin70]

Thanks so much for sharing this tutorial! I have at least 3 places I want to do this now!!

[@crazy4shuz]

Me too! Now that I've got them done I'm just looking for places to add more, lol ;)

[@gwendolynhill3430]

I LOVE THEM..👍👍👍

[@lisapieper3598]

Absolutely going to try this! Thanks for the detailed explanation. You are really talented! Lisa P Summertown, Tenn

[@lisapieper3598]

Wondering how many minutes you get with these battery operated light pucks?

[@susanvelez6534]

Oh my god that is amazing I'm going to try it. It will save on electricity as well ! Love it girl

[@crazy4shuz]

Thanks! I never even considered the electricity savings!

[@atruefallenangel3]

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been racking my brain for an idea for my daughter’s top bunk. She reads at night but there isn’t an outlet on that side of the room. Definitely doing this. Ur awesome!

[@crazy4shuz]

That would be great for her! I'm tempted to do this for my niece's bed too!

[@susanvelez6534]

Oh and I love where you placed them so stinkin college

[@itynotbity]

They look amazing! I love this idea and the choice of light sconces! Beautiful

[@kristinegostyla6561]

Thanks love this idea because I'm in an apartment so this is good idea thankyou for sharing with all of us. Your youtube friend xoox

[@susanrobinson408]

I am in love with these!! I'll be doing this and I have just the area. Thank you!! I have a question..you are so amazing with carpentry and DIY hacks. Could you do some basic home-care videos? I'm thinking one for how to use anchor screws. I can never seem to get these right so I never use them.

[@crazy4shuz]

Thank you! You should definitely try the metal ones I showed, I used to bend the plastic ones lots of times, the metal ones go in so easy!

[@shinohtv21]

Love from India 😁☺😁

[@rufusdusol9453]

Any suggestions how to secure the remote to the wall? You seem full of great ideas.Thanks again!

[@janefriel6895]

Clever, beautiful lady.

[@davedalane6505]

Hi Sweetie! Been missing you so much! we need to do another collaboration soon !!! Hugs! Love This Idea!

[@crazy4shuz]

Thanks! We definitely should!

[@cocolu815]

I've seen some battery lights come with adhesive on the back .

[@margotnandin7561]

This is an amazing idea. Love your "plant lady" shirt. Where did you get it from?

[@crazy4shuz]

Thank you! I ordered it on amazon, amzn.to/2IlBnMu I ordered a men's medium, and it's true to their measurment charts. I also ordered it in the heathered blue because that was a cotton blend ( the solids are 100% cotton)

[@reniehandler2595]

Great idea!!! How long do the batteries last for you?

[@crazy4shuz]

I've been using these at night for a little over 2 weeks now and the batteries are still going strong. I have a feeling I will change batteries sooner than most because I use the cheapy batteries that are like 20 for $3 lol!

[@BrandonTovarGarcia]

Great Idea! Anyone try this? Hows the battery life?

[@kankan572]

How did these hold up? Are u still using them?

[@allylovesu14]

Is there any way I can attach the sconces to the wall without screws or drills? My boyfriends landlord is super strict and won’t allow it. Maybe command strips? I’m not DIY savvy so any suggestions help!

[@crazy4shuz]

I'm not sure if command strips will hold that much weight (sconce +light+batteries), if you look on the package of the command strip it should have a maximum weight. The only thing I can think of is mounting them to the side of a furniture piece like a bookcase or armoire. You could do a bench flanked by bookcases with sconces for a cute reading nook. This is the blog I borrowed the idea from, she does the bookcase sconce nestingwithgrace.com/diy-sconces-light-without-electricity/

[@allylovesu14]

@@crazy4shuz Thank you so much for your suggestion. I never thought of looking at the maximum weight. Great idea. Thanks again!

[@rufusdusol9453]

Also you said those anchors screw in, if so I didn't know they made those.

[@crazy4shuz]

Yes, they make using anchors so easy! They come in plastic or metal, I usually try to get the metal ones, I feel like they're sturdier. Here's a link to what they look like www.lowes.com/pd/E-Z-Ancor-4-Pack-1-1-4-in-x-1-2-in-Dia-Standard-Drywall-Anchor-Screws-Included/1042127?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-hdw-_-ggl-_-LIA_HDW_126_Fastening-_-1042127-_-0-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkNiMBhCxARIsAIDDKNVTvRBdyfGoHjtTbtlsLt8QUedTkgbNF23cjmm8ACo5rf0yXJSUk3gaAsRAEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@rufusdusol9453]

another plant channel oh that is awesome, I've never used anchors before, because I am not to handy with a drill, wouldn't know what size drill bit to use. So this changes everything. And I will be able to secure my heavy mirror to the wall that's hanging precariously.Thanks so much for your time!

[@earthingearthling2976]

Just glue the puck to a socket adapter

[@crazy4shuz]

love this idea!
