I drove (yesss) to Bunnings the other day and I found more wicked copper plumbing bits. The whole lot only cost me about $5 which amazing since they're so different to what's available at the usual craft stores and I have 3 DIYs using them.
The compression olives (I'm guessing that's what they're called) were about $3 and it came in a pack of 10; 5 copper rings and 5 nylon rings.
The 20mm pack is the perfect size for your fingers and since there are so many they're stackable!
For the capillary elbow, I just chucked it on a black ribbon. I think it's the perfect piece on a plain white top or for layering with other necklaces.
Since the capillary tee is such a unique piece, I thought that it would be a great foundation for a statement necklace.
I first slid the tee onto a gold chain and then pulled the chain through the bottom of the tee.
I found the middle of the chain; very important otherwise your necklace will be lopsided! and then used a jump ring to loop a rose pink tassel onto the chain.
The finished product of the tee necklace against my very dirty wall.
Obviously you can use any coloured tassel but I think the pink and the copper go very well together.
And there we have 3 DIYs for next to nothing!
