How to make Mini Copper Pipe Shelves?

The first thing I did was cut my cork coasters in half.  They were a little flimsy, so I traced the coaster onto some cardboard to act as a more durable support backing.

I then used hot glue to secure the cork and cardboard.  Then, I made a little mark on the under side as to where my copper pipe bends would sit.  A little hot glue was applied.
