DIY _______________ copper/plaster candle holder

For me candle holders are so Christmas and just the thought that it's almost Christmas makes me want to get/make some new ones. So after I saw this cool DIY that Ivania did on her blog with plaster I wanted to do a new candle holder for the Christmas with plaster instead of concrete. 

The mold I used for pouring the plaster in was just a shoebox cover and the copper tube caps for the lights are from a hardware store, but my previous candleholder that I did with hexagon nuts (here) could also work. All you need is,

/a shoebox cover

/plaster

/copper tube caps size 2,2 

/plastic wrap

/sand paper

/Cover the shoebox cover with plastic wrap to make it waterproof and to get the plaster out of the mold when it is dry. 

/Plan in advance where you want your candle holders (copper tube caps) to be. 

/Blend your plaster mixture and pour it into the mold. I used for this 9 dl plaster and 3 dl water.

/Press gently the copper tube caps in the plaster mix.

 /Let it dry for at least 2 hours. Use sandpaper to smooth the edges if needed.

Done!

MOVING TO STOCKHOLM ______________

There are some major changes going on that I already told this weekend at my instagram (annaleenashem). We're moving back to Stockholm in January! We have been planning for this move a long time and I t´s going to be very positive, even I love the Swedish west coast where I have been living over 10 years. I´m so exited about moving back to my old home town and not least I´m looking forward to be able to work more as a interior stylist, net working with creative people and getting new work contacts. My online shop annaleena.se/shop moves with us and it will function as usual. I´ll tell you more about the move and our new home later.

DIY _________ wall cups

My latest super simple diy -wall storage for small things was made of clear plastic cups. You don´t need any instructions, just attach the plastic cups to the wall with strong needles. 

INTERIOR _____________ white retreat

Love this white minimalist 36 square appartment that is furnished with a few carefully selected objects; contemporary artworks, some books, and the owners record. And how the lack of views is compensated by silence and light

ONE PIC ____________ minimal

I´m starting today a new column here on my blog called one pic, inspired by my blogger colleague Emma. This first picture is taken in our bedroom. It represents everything I feel right now. Minimal, Japanese, and tranquility.

INSPIRATION _________________ LINK DECO

I just discovered from Lotta Agaton´s blog that a new agency LINK DECO has been launched in Stockholm. The thing that makes the agency so special is that link deco is the first agency in Sweden solely representing interior photographers and interior stylists. Under the same roof. That´s really awesome news. What a dream for all interior geeks browsing though lots of inspiration, without leaving the website you are on.
