Copper is everywhere these days. A quick walk around a home decor store these days and you’ll come across plenty of copper decor pieces: everything from vases to frames to figurines! As a chemical engineer myself, I have some familiarity with pipes, but really, this tutorial is so simple & the supplies are so readily available that anyone can make this DIY Wall-Mounted Copper Pipe Planter!

Take a look at it! What do you think?

Since all the pipe lengths and fittings are 1/2″, all the joints should fit together snugly. I didn’t add any extra glue or plumbing compounds.

I used the wall mounts (three of them!) to hang this on the wall! This has been holding up fine for months now! (Yes, this post is a little late!)

I fill the little pipes with individual stems of real or artificial flowers! It’s a cute addition to my living room! And let’s face it… it’s definitely a conversation piece! 🙂
