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.

Step 1
Condition and roll out clay to about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Position the copper pipe vertically on clay. Cut a circular base approximately 1/4 inch wider than the pipe.
Step 3
Smooth the clay down the sides of the tube. Make sure not to stretch clay too much that it breaks.
Step 4
Roll a larger piece of clay to approximately 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the clay to fit around the tube.
Step 5
Use your fingers or the modeling tool to smooth out the seam. Smooth and seal the base of the vase.
Step 6
On a clean surface, gently roll the vase with the palm of your hand. This will get rid of any pinch marks.
Step 7
Create a cutout.
Step 8
Bake according to package instructions.
