DIY: Hardware Candelabra

I made another trip to the hardware store to get inspiration this week, and it hit me– a candelabra made out of pipes! It’s different, sturdy, and easy to do. This is a great idea for a Valentine’s gift. Make a night out of it; pizza and beer by very rustic candlelight. Use some great textures to to set the table. Faux fur and wool blankets, a nice slab of wood for a flat surface, bamboo plates, his favorite beer, and a nice pizza pie are the perfect set up for a cozy night in. Forget the cards covered in pink hearts and get to the hardware store! This will be a piece you can keep around forever. It’s a fun conversation starter in the home and perfect for late-night picnics.
While you’re at it, cuddle up in this Carhartt Clarksburgh Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt & Copper Harbor Hat.

DIY: Mother’s Day Bracelet

Something made by hand and from the heart means so much on Mother’s Day. Here’s a great, last minute gift idea for Mom this year. Tell her how much you love and appreciate her. What’s great about this bracelet DIY is that it serves as a constant reminder she can always wear. I tried on the new jewelry with my Carhartt Dover Track Jacket. It’s such a great piece, you and your mom would love it!
