What You'll Be Creating
Copper is one of the biggest trends to emerge for interiors and design this season, but you don't have to spend big on designer pieces. Instead, go DIY with a few supplies from the hardware store. This multi-functional copper wall hook combines a timber dowel for a designer look which is ideal for organizing your jewellery and perfect for your bedside table. It can also be used as an elegant storage solution for kitchen utensils or as a front door 'organiser'.

Supplies

  • 1 double-sided dowel screw (3/16" diameter)
  • 1 copper T-fitting 10 half-inch (3/8" diameter)
  • Sandpaper
  • Nose pliers
  • Hot glue gun
  • Wooden dowel 46cm (18.1in) that fits into the copper T-fitting (3/8" diameter)

1. Cut the Dowel Pieces

Step 1

Measure the dowel into two pieces that measure 20cm (7.9in) each and one piece that is 6cm (2.4in) long.
Place the dowel in the cut miter box and cut the wood pieces with the hand saw at the measurements you marked.

2. Install the Double-Ended Screw

Use the nose pliers to screw one end of the double-ended screw into one of the 6cm (2.4in) pieces of dowel, so that the other half of the screw remains sticking out.
