DIY Copper Candleholder

As sad as I am that Summer has ended, Autumn and Winter bring a lot of goodies along with them! Pumpkin spices, snug nights in front of a fire, maybe even a last cheeky BBQ if the weather lets you?
For me; candles are my staple item for the upcoming cold. As soon as Autumn comes around I whip them out of the cupboards ready to display!

With my slight canlde fetish in mind I went browsing the internet for new ideas and found this lovely DIY that I just couldn't help but try!

All you need for this DIY is:
- A thin copper pipe. Bought at any hardware store.
- Tape. I used a pipe bender for the top part.
- Pliers

Use the roll of tape to shape the pipe into a round shape, making it curl upwards with a pipe bender as you go along. When the pipe has the shape you like, file or cut the end of the pipe so that you create a sharp end to stick the candle on. 


It might seem a lot of work bending and shaping the pipe, but I had it done and standing in the house within an hour or so! The hardest thing is to find a neat place to display the candle! :)



Have fun DIY'ing!
