With just a few feet of copper pipe you can have this sleek copper candle stand in under an hour. This is possibly the easiest DIY I have ever covered for you all.

Read MoreI have been on a real macrame kick; exploring different knots, braids and dye-ing techniques with my new favorite material. I have made a few different plant hangers but have not done any type of container for the ground so I thought I would try and make a basket. This requires very minimal supplies but a good amount of time.
