It’s here, guys- my first, fall decor DIY of this year! \u00a0It’s also another very easy, very simple copper tape craft. \u00a0After completing my previous copper art project<\/a>, I needed<\/em>\u00a0to dive deeper into this new\u00a0world of copper tape. \u00a0I was itching\u00a0to\u00a0do something else with the stuff, but was wishing the tape was thinner, so in came this guy.<\/p>\n All I did was wrap horizontal rings of copper tape around my glass candle holders, smoothing my finger over the tape while removing the backing at the same time. \u00a0It wasn’t the easiest thing in the world trying to keep the tape straight and make sure the ends matched perfectly, and I didn’t fully succeed at this either, but to that I say, “It’s all good.” \u00a0I went slowly and did the best I could *pat on the back*.<\/p>\n Why am I wearing gloves? \u00a0I had mentioned with my copper wall art that I didn’t realize I was making fingerprints on the tape and wished I had worn gloves, so I wore them this time around. \u00a0This tape is a lot sturdier and much more fingerprint resistant though, which is awesome, but I still wanted to take the precaution of not leaving behind more finger grease than was necessary.<\/p>\n I started the copper stripes off closer together at the base and then spread them further apart towards the top. \u00a0I thought this would be a unique but still minor variation on a regular stripes pattern that would keep the design very simple and modern.<\/p>\n Those greens in the pitcher complement the copper SO beautifully, don’t you think? \u00a0They’re called Snow on the Mountain. \u00a0Yea. \u00a0Cute. \u00a0I’m thinking copper and green will\u00a0be my go to colors this fall, which is so appropriate given that they’re two of my favorite colors ever.<\/p>\n You will probably\u00a0be seeing more of this tape on the blog. \u00a0If not, then forgot that I said that, but seriously, probably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s here, guys- my first, fall decor DIY of this year! \u00a0It’s also another very easy, very simple copper tape craft. \u00a0After completing my previous copper art project, I needed\u00a0to dive deeper into this new\u00a0world of copper tape. \u00a0I was itching\u00a0to\u00a0do something else with the stuff, but was wishing the tape was thinner, so in … Continue reading “DIY Copper Striped Candle Holders”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diy"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4720"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4751,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4720\/revisions\/4751"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Copper](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Copper-Tape.jpg\")
This 1\/4″ copper tape<\/a> is fantastic. \u00a0It isn’t as delicate as the one I used for my wall art, and I like that the thinner size allows for creating more intricate designs, although I still kept it pretty darn simple this time around, too.<\/p>\n![\"Taping\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Taping.jpg\")

These birchwood slices were a score last Spring at Michaels when they were on clearance for $1 each, which was the right price\u00a0for me to be convinced that I should hoard them until fall. \u00a0I\u00a0think that was a good\u00a0decision, wouldn’t you agree?? \u00a0They worked out so perfectly for my candle holders to sit on!<\/p>\n![\"DIY](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DIY-Copper-Striped-Candle-Holders-1.jpg\")
That white pitcher<\/a>\u00a0made appearances on this blog last year, and after seeing Emily Henderson recently use it in one of her designed spaces, I’m more than convinced to bring mine back out again this year. \u00a0I’ll spare you my Emily Henderson adoration-rant this time.<\/p>\n
