Wall-Mounted Candle Sconces (for under $10!)

I wanted to hang up some candles in my bathroom (how delightfully indulgent of me, eh?) but couldn't find any wall-mounted ways of putting candles up that wasn't very expensive... so I was wandering the dollar store one day and found a bunch of supplies and now we can all make our own candle sconces for cheap!

Step 1: Materials

I got many of these materials at the dollar store--well, specifically, the "99 Cents Only" stores we have all over LA... I don't recall the dollar stores back on the east coast being so well-stocked, so those who don't have these lovely 99c stores nearby may have to find slightly pricier alternatives.. but check discount hobby stores, gardening supply stores, craft stores, etc., too.

For each sconce you want to make (I made 2), you will need...

1 mini decorative wire garden fence (about 8" tall, $0.99 each)
1 candle (got the green-apple scented ones for $0.99 a piece)
5-7 mini cable ties (I got black because the wire fencing is black; I got them at a local small hardware store. You can use electrical tape instead, if you want. The whole pack was $2.79, the electrical tape was $1.69.)
2 frame hangers
2 small nails    (A pack of a bunch of hangers/nails was $1.99.)

Tools:

- Needle-nose pliers
- Hammer
- Scissors (if your pliers can't cut the cable ties or tape)
