Create a copper and clay vase to show off your Spring blooms.
I have been in love with copper for a while now. The color looks so pretty in a room, especially when combined with pretty pastels and pinks. I created these copper and clay vases last spring and they have been holding up nicely. Using some copper pipe and polymer clay, these vases can be completed in just over an hour, making it the perfect weekend afternoon DIY.
