Where do you buy candle holders for Sconces ? I did a lot of searching and could not find anything.

Try searching under "candle cups" as well. Some times the terminology is what keeps us from finding what we are looking for.

I have found several thru craft suppy stores and hobby stores online. Usually very reasonably priced and decent quality (be prepared to sand them).

I was faced with a similar want. I was making some candle holders out of shed deer antlers. I wanted a candle cup that I could screw or otherwise attach to antler. I ended up getting some 3/4 in copper pipe caps, drilling a hole in the center of it, then soldered a piece of 1/8 brass brazing rod into the hole. I polished the whole thing up with fine sandpaper and then I could glue the candle cup into a 1/8 in hole drilled in the antler. The ID of the pipe cap is a little too big for a lot of candles so I have a plan for the next batch I will make. I plan to cut a short, maybe half inch or a little more of the regular 3/4 inch copper pipe and then solder it inside the pipe cap to act as a bushing so the wax candle will fit tighter. I know this sounds like a lot of work but it didnt really take that long and I was able to use materials I had on hand and not have to wait for a mail order. ON top of that the candle cups looked real good when attached to the antler. I have pictures on my other computer and will try to post one later. Jared
