Sweet Homes, Small Pockets // Copper Coil Vases

This week's installment of Sweet Homes, Small Pockets features Kate Pruitt, from our friends at Design * Sponge. Kate's come up with this ingenious way of twisting ultra-malleable metal copper into beautiful structures to flaunt your flowers.

This is a great exercise in letting a project take the shape it will take, and no two pieces will be exactly alike. We think this project feels like a interior design science experiment, copper wires, test tubes, plant life and all!

Here are the materials you'll need: 

• 1/4″ x 20′ copper coil (you can find this in the plumbing section of hardware stores)
• needle nose pliers
• glass test tubes or some other cylindrical glass vessels
• quick set epoxy
• painter’s tape (optional)

Here is the play by play of how to make these simple and gorgeous vases
