Copper Shelves & Jewelry Hangers

I’m absolutely obsessed with copper. I think it’s so beautiful and simple and goes with many decor themes. I bought a gorgeous copper tray for only $8 at the Rose Bowl Flea Market back in November and have been trying to add more copper to my room every since.

I came across these Mini Copper & Marble Shelves by The Merrythought on Pinterest and decided to make my own. I liked the black marble but wanted something a little more bright since my room is mostly light gray and white. I found some plain white tiles that looked so nice with the copper and decided to go with those.

Since I have a lot of wall space, I wanted to create some sort of copper wall hanger that could hold my jewelry. Let me tell you…I am pretty darn happy with what I came up with. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my copper jewelry wall hangars and they look so nice with my mini shelves.

 

For the Mini Copper & Tile Shelves you will need: 

• Gorilla Glue (or any heavy duty adhesive)
• 2 Copper plated tubing hooks (these come in a 5-pack)
• 2 3 in x 6 in white ceramic tiles (the ones I bought came in an 8-pack)
• White multi-surface acrylic paint
• Paint sponge or paint brush

Instructions: 

1. Paint the bottoms and sides of the tiles with the white paint and let dry
2. Glue the tiles on top of the hooks “legs” and let dry. I set a heavy item on top of the tile while the glue was drying to make it adhere more.

For the Copper Jewelry Wall Hangars you will need:

• 2 Copper plated tubing hooks
• A 1/4 in oak dowel (I think oak looks the best with the copper)
• 4 1/4 in copper slip cap fittings
• 6 2.5 in copper “s” hooks (I bought mine from Houzz because they had free shipping, however I ordered these mid-January and didn’t receive them until mid-March! They were backordered but still, no one should have to wait that long for an order! They sell the same hooks on Home Depots website–view here)
• A saw/power saw
• Sandpaper
• Gorilla Glue (or any adhesive)

Instructions

1. Use your saw to cut the wooden dowel into two 7 in pieces. Sand down the ends.
2. Glue the copper caps onto each end of both 7 in dowel pieces
3. Hang the copper hooks on the wall
4. Glide each dowel through three copper s hooks
5. Place the dowel and s hooks onto the “legs” of the copper plated tubing hooks (the weight of the s hooks will hold down the dowel and keep it from rolling off the legs of the tubing hooks!)

*The copper tea light holders I have on my shelf are from H&M. They are sold out online but they have a lot of cute candle holders!
