Simple Scandi DIY: Elevating your home with Copper and Candles

Creating a cozy, Scandinavian-inspired home for the winter doesn’t require much beyond a visit to the hardware store. Allow me to guide you through a simple DIY that captures the essence of Scandinavian design and embraces the Hygge vibe. While exploring Scandinavian design one morning, I observed their penchant for using candlesticks atop various objects. I’ve devised a solution tailored for those of us residing in the US, seeking to infuse our homes with this winter’s Hygge coziness, and it comes from the plumbing aisle!

Meet the copper coupling: an unexpected hero from the hardware store. Typically used in plumbing, this three-quarter inch piece becomes a perfect holder for taper sticks with just a glue gun and a touch of creativity. Place these holders atop any object you fancy, instantly infusing Scandinavian coziness into your home. Are you mind blown? Oh, goodie! Keep reading…

Here, I effortlessly crafted a stunning table centerpiece using a gorgeous hickory board sourced from the hardware store. I also repurposed a vintage dish, transforming it into a charming candle holder. Additionally, in the photo with the jar above, you’ll notice I placed an old used candle in the jar, offering a delightful way to collect the candle remnants—a sweet little collection to commemorate the candles you’ve enjoyed.

Even amidst today’s inflation, each coupling costs approximately just $.71. I prefer using beeswax candles for their air-purifying qualities. However, any taper candles work well. If a hardware store run isn’t your thing, I’ve included a link here for direct shipping to your home. Enjoy crafting that magical glow while keeping your home naturally beautiful and wonderfully simple.
