Add some rustic chic to your walls with a hanging mason jar sconce! An easy project that will make a big impact on your home’s decor. With the mason jar anchored to a wood pallet box, you can make one or many of these to display photos, flowers, or twinkle lights.
Do you ever have that one little wall that looks a little empty but you aren’t sure what to do with it? Well, that was the issue I ran into with this space. I wanted something that could easily change with the seasons and decor, and this craft does just that!
My favorite part is that copper jar! I love these jars and using them in projects. I’ve even used mason jars as a wedding centerpiece.
In fact, I have several mason jar crafts that are great for stretching a jar’s functionality to the max! Did you know you can paint the inside of a jar to give it a vintage look? I love the way they displayed our old family photos. And, they worked wonders organizing the cluttered bathroom situation. We’ve even used them as tiki torches!

Instructions for Mason Jar Wooden Wall Decor
First, you want to paint your pallet boxes with white chalk-style paint. I used a dry brush and one light coat for a slightly rustic and worn look. You can add another coat on top for a more finished look if desired.
Set these aside and allow them to dry completely before continuing.
Do you need to sand wood before painting with chalk paint?
Chalk paint sticks to furniture beautifully with little to no prep work. Usually, all you need is a quick clean and you are ready to paint.
Once dry, add a mug hook to each of the pallet boxes. Just screw it in at the top where it will go into the board that runs around the outer edge. Repeat for as many of these mason jar wall sconces as you are making.
Add the wire hanger to your mason jar by pulling apart the ring and sliding it over the top. You will need to make sure the hanger rests under the last lip before hanging. Make sure it is completely secure before hanging!
Complete your wall decor by hanging the jars. Add faux flowers, cotton stems, or even some lights. Tea lights or fairy lights would work well inside these jars and add ambiance, too!
Add these to any room of your home. Don’t you love the look of these hanging on the wall? A fun decorative idea for any farmhouse style home!
Glass jars are extremely versatile and can be reused over and over again. We’ve used them to store soups, as centerpieces, flower vases – we’ve even used these to organize office supplies. Trust me, you will want a few of these sconces hanging on your walls!

Those copper jars are STUNNING!
Oooh, just might need to make myself one of those copper jars on wood. The copper is so eye catching, did you buy jar at JoAnn’s?
Did make jar on wood but jar was a vintage square shape mounted on a small cabinet door. Found cabinet door at Habitat this past winter and had jar for long time. Habitat hasn’t had any cabinet doors lately and they have raised prices of them. Don’ t go to Habitat every week, is long ride from where we live, maybe get to go there once a month.
Do you have your jars on wood hung next to each other? They are great looking, like how you hung them instead of with strapping band.
Enjoy rest of week
I ordered the copper jars from Consumer Crafts.com – love them! I have them close but not right together actually. I totally need to take a picture!
This is great! I love mason jars and decor made from them!
Where can I get the jar hangers? Don’t recollect ever seeing anything like that. Thanks
